"Get a Times Guide"
Posted on Feb 06, 2010 by wdwmagic
Once you get into the park, grab a map if you need one, but most importantly, get a Times Guide. The Times Guide has all the information on shows, parades and fireworks times, along with any attractions and restaurants that have different hours to the main park hours.

Camp Minnie-Mickey - The site to meet many of the lovable Disney characters, including Mickey Mouse and friends from classic Disney films. Live shows include "Festival of the Lion King."
DinoLand U.S.A. - Here's where the world's fascination with dinosaurs and jungles comes to life: race back in time to save the last dinosaur on the thrill ride DINOSAUR; The Boneyard Dig Site lets kids dig, swing and giggle through a prehistoric playground; and the live stage show "Tarzan Rocks!" keeps the jungle jamming. DinoLand U.S.A. is presented by McDonald's.
Discovery Island - The park hub and home of the towering icon, The Tree of Life, which houses within its trunk "It's Tough to be a Bug," a humorous 3-D and special-effects show in the Tree of Life Theater. Discovery Island also features gifts and food emporiums and the bright tropical colors of hand-carved animal architecture.
