What's your preference on check in day?
- Fly or drive in early so you can check in and hit the parks right away or;
- Fly or drive in late afternoon/evening so you can check in, relax at your resort and get a good nights sleep so you can hit the parks early the next day?
What we normally do is drive down the day before, no rush, and stay in Orlando somewhere and check in Disney the next morning, early. The day we arrive in Orlando is when we go to Down Town Disney and just relax. The next morning we get up early and check in at Disney, get the tickets and hit the parks. Everyday we are up early and in Disney mode. :ROFLOL:
The reason I do this is because it's cheaper for me because we do the dining plan and all of that. I would feel like I was missing out on part of my "Disney days" if we checked in late one afternoon. :shrug: I guess it just works great for us.
Maybe one of us should start a WDW vacation boot camp. We could get R. Lee Ermey (the drill Sergeant from full metal jacket) to run it.
"If you ladies leave my island, if you survive recruit training, you will be ready for WDW. But until that day you are pukes. You are the lowest form of life on Earth. You are not even good enough to handle a road side carnival. You are nothing but unorganized tourists."
"Because I am hard you will not like me. But the more you hate me the more you will learn. I am hard but I am fair. There is no theme park bigotry here. I do not look down on Universal, Sea World or Six Flags fans. And my orders are to weed out all non-hackers who do not pack the gear to visit my beloved park. Do you maggots understand that? "
:lol:
We fly as early as we can. My daughter says that she does not feel like she is going on vacation unless she has to wake up at 4 am. :lol: We usually get in around noon. Check in right away, then hit MK. There's something truly magical about seeing spectromagic on the same day that you arrived.
When it was just the 2 of us we always did #1... Now with the boys, we do #2...
