If you're not staying at a Disney resort and you stay late and hit the mad rush of people all leaving at the same time and trying to get on the monorails/ferry to get to the parking lot, here's a tip - you can use the resort monorail to get to the parking lot. They have separate monorails for resort guests and the rest, but they don't check and they both get you to the parking lot. There must have been 5000 people waiting for the regular monorail when we left at midnight and maybe 100 at the resort monorail. We chose wisely.

Another tip at rush time is take the bus to Downtown Disney and then get your resort bus from there. We've saved at least a half hour doing this several times. This is particularly useful if you are staying at the least expensive Disney hotels like the All-star series or Caribbean Beach.
