Package delivery to your resort saves you from lugging bags around.
Locker rental in transitional weather seasons...i.e you don''t have to lug your coats around during the heat of the day, but can have a jacket or windebreaker for the cooler evening hours in december/jan.
There's a great big beautiful tomorrow

Photopass!
We bring our own camera as well, but really like having the pros take pictures. Plus, it is really cool the "extras" you can add to the pics once you get home.

I second the opinions of fastpass and package delivery both. Also, I love the fact that you can make ADR's

i agree with fast passes and package service. Photographers are great but if you don't have kids they are less likely to appraoch you

Photopass is a good service, but be wary of it as well. A LOT of it depends on the photographer. I do photography as part of my job, so probably am more critical than most, but my sister and her family recently returned from a trip and did photopass the entire time. Had around 80 pics online in total (not sure if they bought any or not). Most, if not all of them, were average at best, and CERTAINLY not worth $12.99 for a 5x7!
That is not to say that you can't get good shots from them, as I said it depends on the photographer, but for the money you pay for a pic, you are better off bringing your own camera.
Here is a nice trick though, all photopass photogs will take a pic with your camera as wellk, so do the photopass, but also have them take a pic with your cam. Basically gets you the same pic for free!

We definitely use the FP to our best advantage. I think we may have waited in a 20 minute line three times in all of our visits. Such a great idea. It's hard to go to theme parks here in Cincinnati because we're so spoiled with NOT having to wait in a long line at Disney!
Next trip - Sep29-Oct4! Free QS dining at POP. First trip with both kids. (6th total visit)

Free transport to the parks if you stay in a resort which means I don't have to drive. iIhate to drive and I especially hate to do it in places that are not familiar to me and since its the opposite side of the road in America its even worse

Fastpass is fabulous! I wouldn't ever get to ride things like Soarin' or TSM without it (I'm sorry, I'm just not that patient of a person)
I also love Magical Express. Being under 21, I can't rent a car yet, so it's nice to know I'll be taken care when I visit.

Disney Transportation and FastPass.
We are on vacation, the last thing I want to do is get stressed over other drivers out there!!!! So, we may have to wait at park closing or stand for 15 - 20 minutes until we get to our resort. We've been walking and standing all day, so what's a few more minutes.
FastPass is great, although we generally only go during Value season(s) and rarely need to use it. It's just nice to know we have the opportunity.
-
Although it has been said already, my favorites are:
- Magical Express (if only all vacation destinations offered this service)
- Disney transportation (we don't rent a car)
- Photopass (I love how they take pics with your own camera too)
- Fastpass (life saver)

I just thought of another one I like, the Disney Florist. I guess you could count that as one. I just ordered my mom some flowers for Mother's Day, since her and Dad will be there over the holiday. Hopefully it will be a nice surprise for her.
Also cute and fluffy!!!!!
