I also cut a few down to a smaller size and use them in the drinks provided on the airplane.

Spaceship Earth at NightTip Of The Week

Remember when booking your advance dining reservations that most table service restaurants inside the Disney Parks seat guests until park closing. By booking the latest possible reservation time, you will be able to maximize the amount of time you have to enjoy attractions and you will have the added bonus and unique opportunity of exiting through an almost empty park.
