    MDX for the Tech-Averse Crowd (with a side of DVC)

    I have a trip to WDW coming up soon, and am working through getting everything set up correctly. For some context, our travel party is 3 adults from 3 households, and this is our first trip post-Genie+. Up to now, I was responsible for doing all the ticket/MagicBand/FP+ management and...

    Budget vs. Avis

    Has anyone had a recent experience with either Budget or Avis at MCO? We're going to be arriving on a Tuesday (early May) at about 10am. I can get a pretty decent rate through Undercover Tourist from either company, with Avis being about $12 more. Just trying to get an idea of counter wait...

    Lightning Lane at Walt Disney World

    If they had just left FP+ the way it was and started charging for it, I would've been annoyed, but likely just shrugged and handed over my money. Our vacation is scheduled for May. If they change G+ to allow for some sort of time selection, I'd probably buy it for MK and HS. I'm still waiting...

    Expiring tickets

    I just had a similar situation -- 2 5-day Park Hoppers from May 2020, with a new vacation set for May 2022. I spoke to 4 Cast Members over 2 phone calls and 2 callbacks, with an email in between. All signs were pointing to me having to pay the difference between the 2020 and 2022 prices, as I...

    SSR again or OKW?

    Some family members own at OKW, so we've stayed there several times. I really like the whole vibe of the resort. But I also love the location of SSR, since parts of it are within walking distance to Disney Springs. If OKW was in SSR's location, that, to me, would be spectacular.

    Are pressed pennies still happening?

    Many of the machines across all of WDW have been converted from the type that you insert 2 quarters and 1 penny to the 8-die machines that you just insert $1 or use a credit card. So there's less need to worry about finding the loose change.

    Southwest Schedule Changed

    Just wanted to give an update in case anyone is facing a similar situation. Before I had a chance to call, the return flight was also updated. So the departure flight was moved 2 hours, and the return was moved almost 3 hours. I called this morning and the agent couldn't have been any nicer...

    Southwest Schedule Changed

    I have a round trip flight booked for early May, so both directions are on one reservation. This morning, I got an email from Southwest because they changed the flight time. I understand (at least I think I do) that because Southwest initiated the change, I can request a refund for my Wanna...

    Changing start date on UT ticket?

    I'd certainly call UT to confirm, but I think you might be all set without needing to make any changes. A 7-day ticket is good within a 10-day window, starting with the selected start date. For example, a 7-day ticket with a start date of July 12 is valid any 7 days from July 12 through July 21.

    Is May a Cold Time to Go?

    I've been a few times during the first half of May, and the weather has always been great. Moderate heat, low-ish humidity.

    Keeping track of retired pressed pennies

    Try presscoins.com. I don't recall if any of their checklists include retired designs, but their entire database is searchable.

    Next WDW ticket price increase: When?

    If you log into MDE and go to the "My MagicBands and Cards" page, you'll see a list of all MagicBands and ticket media associated to each person you "manage". Next to each, you'll see a notation of "Active" or "Inactive". Assuming you didn't previously inactivate a MagicBand, everything should...

    Adding days onto my hopper tickets

    It depends where you bought the tickets from. If you bought them directly from Disney, then sure, go ahead and call them now. But if you bought them from an authorized reseller (like Undercover Tourist), you'll want to wait until you get down there and "activate" the ticket by going into a...

    News Super Bowl Player of the Game Celebration Parade 2019

    I believe the WDW/DL decision is based on the MVP's city, and whichever park it is closer to. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that if LA had won, the MVP would've gone to DL.

    Boat Routes on Disney Springs

    One other thing to keep in mind, not only will you need to switch boats at Disney Springs, you'll need to go to another dock completely. The OKW boat docks at the Landing Dock, and the PO boats dock at the Marketplace Dock.

    Suggestions for unique snack/dessert

    At Goofy's Candy Co. in Disney Springs, you can create your own treat. You pick a base (gingerbread cookie, krispie treat, pretzel rods, marshmallows, maybe one other), a type of chocolate to dip it in, then topping(s) to completely coat it in.

    Merch/Package drop off at park entrance?

    I know that. My comment was based off the fact that I was behind someone at bag check that bought a glass item at a hotel and was not allowed to bring it in to the park. I was simply offering a cautionary tale based off my personal experience. I didn't say it was a definite.
