Thank you!

For an upcoming trip, I'm debating whether or not online check-in will be helpful or just redundant. We're not getting in to Orlando until about 8:00 Friday night, so I don't see arriving at OKW until close to 10:00pm. But we're going to need key cards, so we'll need to go to the lobby...

I know it's "just" sandwiches, but Earl of Sandwich is a must-do for us at least once each trip. Cookes of Dublin is also pretty good too.

On my last trip, I had a backpack and small camera case on a cross-body strap. I kept getting sent over to the tables. It took a few days, but I "guessed" it was the combination of the two because one was on my back and one on my hip. So I gave the camera case to someone else in my party...

I don't recall them running any blanket "extra day free" promo. What I've taken advantage of in the past, and is something they currently have, is the 4+1 day tickets. Obviously, that won't work for your dates. Also, they'll occasionally run small bonus sales where they'll offer usually an...

In addition to the various discounts mentioned above, I find it easier to pay with a gift card over cash. And while I could just use my credit card, I prefer one transaction on my credit card to purchase the gift card over the dozens of transactions that would be there if I used the credit card...

I've had freeze-dried Skittles, and they're surprisingly good. They expand (hence the white "inside" bursting out) and turn into a crunchy Skittles-flavored sugar ball.

If there is a particular restaurant you really want to eat at, absolutely make a reservation. Or even if you think you might want to eat at a certain place, go ahead and book it, keeping the cancellation policy in mind. But if you just want to see what each day brings and take it from there...

Is this the store at the very end of the Marketplace in Disney Springs, attached to Art of Disney? I forget the name, but it's the one that has the personalized items.

As a software developer, I can emphatically say the testers also catch what we do check. 😆

We've also had great success with UT. If you know your dates, I'd say go for it. We've never added the hopper once we arrived, but we did add a day to a hopper ticket. From past experience, if you do try to add a day or hopper to an "in-use" ticket, be sure to mention you purchased them from...

Funny story time. I was in WDW at the beginning of May. We got in line for Peter Pan when the wait said 45 minutes. 45 minutes later, we hadn't made it into the bedroom yet, but we figured we had already committed, so we forged on. Shortly after that, one member of my party decided to leave...

We've made several trips in early May, usually completing the trip within the first 10 days of the month. We've been extremely lucky with the weather -- warm to hot, but manageable humidity, with very little (if any) rain. I also think the weather is "felt" differently depending on where...

If you purchased tickets from a 3rd party, you might be able to contact them and see if they have any options to help you add the extra day. But if you do end up needing to wait until you are in WDW, I strongly urge you to go to Guest Relations at a park or the Ticketing "shop" in DS. This...

Yes, I know that the DVC dashboard doesn't interact with the MDX profiles. Since we've always gone as a group, I've always handled the planning aspects through my MDX account. They book the DVC stay and give me the reservation #, I plug the number in to my MDX account and link up the...
