oh, great, I forgot... I have a gigantic DL map in the basement, though. I'll come back with more shortcuts.

And don't worry about DL. You'll have fun! Many are disappointed when they go to DL after having been to WDW, but you really can't compare the two resorts. Sure, WDW is bigger and the planning was better thought-out, but DL was first, and ahead of its time, as it is. So don't turn your nose at the 65-foot castle or itty-bitty mainstreet. Instead, rave about the gigantic castle in front of it's a small world. Go in with an open mind, and you'll be sure to come home amazed.

Lots of useful info! One little thing though...the Gallery you speak of is actually over POC
