    We had done online check in for Dec and have completed it for this trip too. I know there was an issue at that time. But you give me hope that it will work out this time!

    On day one of our Dec. trip, we couldn’t book an ILL until 9 even though it was our check in day. I know others had the same problem back then. Has this been resolved for the most part? We are coming again in Oct and will have a tight schedule so I need for things to work!

    Thanks! I’m OK with that if we only end up at one park. With flight delays and such, that could easily happen :(

    I have a party of 6 going in October. We have park hopper tickets. The first park day is the day we arrive - early arrival at 9am. Our first park is EPCOT. If I buy Genie+ for EPCOT only and then we decide later to park hop, can I upgrade my Genie+ or am I just out of luck getting it for...

    Online Check-in

    This is HUGE!!! We did online check in for our Dec. trip. Our flight was 4 1/2 hours late, so we got our room assignment before we ever boarded the plane. When we arrived, the lobby was packed and we were able to walk around all of those lines and go straight to our room. It was perfect!

    Thank you! Do you have other drinks that you particularly like? My husband and I are going back in August and we are going to try this again!

    One thing I forgot to add was this cool charging station my brother gave me for Christmas. This isn't really trip report related, but it saved us! We were able to charge both phones, both magic bands and our clutch portable chargers all at once every night using one outlet. It was awesome!!!

    Very good to know! We stopped at the first place we saw with a short line which was a little kiosk in the front of the pavilion. They only had beer, soft drinks and this one Coke thing along with pretzels. Is the wine further back with a quick service?

    That sounds fun! When mine were 8 and 9, I was a single mom and we went every summer. Now one loves it and the other is over it!

    1 page trip report and a hard decision.

    My trip overlapped with yours a few days. Before we left, we realized that Genie+ would be $30pp/per day, so we decided to just choose a few table service meals, eat breakfast in our room while we got ready in the morning, and either have heavy snacks or counter service for the rest. The table...

    Day 5 - Actually 1/2 day and our last day of Disney Fun! We ended Day 4 with a fabulous meal and a completion of our drink around the world challenge. I forgot to add in my last installment that we gorged ourselves on junk food when we got back to the room. We had purchased "make your own"...

    We ended up spending around $320 on drinks and that should have been more because we did wimp out on the first one and share a drink! This also didn't include tips - if we went somewhere that they actually had to mix the drink, we tipped the server. It helped a lot that we took our time - From...

    It makes you feel like you've done something right when they still want to hang out with you after they don't have to anymore!

    We left off with wine in Italy. Our next stop of America. Still not into beer, we went with a frozen Strawberry Daquiri. These were very sweet and light on the alcohol which was a good thing at this point. I was past the point of tipsy and worried about my ability to walk like a normal...

    Day 4 Part 2 - Day Drinking Continues We left off just after exiting Soaring and the window had opened for our ILL for Guardians. This was part of my plan - get the rides out of the way before you get drunk. Guardians was just as good the 2nd time around. We agreed this was the best new ride...

    Ouch! That would be painful. It's a lot cheaper to do if it's not a peak week. In all honesty, we could have gotten most things done during the extra morning time and the evening hours at MK and EPCOT, but now I see that they are going to start charging for the night hours and that just stinks!

    This was my first trip to Boardwalk ever and I fell in love with it! I'd love to see your tree!!! I was a single mom for a long time so we took a lot of trips with just me and the two girls. This was the first time one of them had ever asked for a trip alone though - I remarried a few years...

    We survived Christmas week, drinking around the world and holiday airline drama! A Dec. 26-30 trip report

    This was our first Christmas week trip in years and I was not fully prepared for the crowds. Having said that, we did get to do pretty much whatever we wanted by utilizing Genie+ and the ILL options. It cost me almost $100 a day extra for the two of us, but I was aware of this before I went...
