Thanks to all that attempted to help. I called in and was able to at least request early check in and a king bed. I know that's only a request so we will see what happens when we get there. Regardless, I'm sure we will be fine and have a great time. Thanks again for the responses and...

I appreciate the response :). I travel quite a bit... I'd venture to say a ton (well over a dozen work and personal trips annually) but know there are people who travel a lot more than I do. I know most hotels and resorts I've stayed at have definitely able to change my room assignment on...

Hey everyone, We are staying at the Animal Kingdom Lodge next week and I have been trying to decide if we should check-in online. I have heard a variety of feedback when looking through old threads, but wonder what makes sense for our unique situation. The biggest thing is we arrive EARLY...

I haven't talked a ton with our accounting people at work but from what I understand the dispute process will no longer have them asking for a signature from the retailer. Retaining signatures from visa, mc, etc. Will be unnecessary to respond to a dispute. This saves retailers from a lot of...

A retailer can still decide to keep the signature measure in place (although I can't imagine they would want to). I wouldn't expect this to be a magic switch country wide in April. Many retailers will still require signatures until they update their point of sale system. It may take a...

I can sympathize and many more may sympathize with you but the number of people preferring cash payments is becoming smaller and smaller. I have seen the hard data that proves it. The good news is if their experiment doesn't work out...it will go back to the way it was at least for a while...

Apple pay, Android pay and Samsung pay are all very secure. I'd also give my stamp of approval to these. Most important when paying electronically is just watching for fraudulent activity and reporting it. Credit card companies are always quick to remedy legitimate fraud on credit accounts...

My job is in point of sale IT for a global retailer. I think this move makes a lot of sense. Maintaining secure cash vaults, pickups from armored vehicles up to multiple times per day, having small bills and change delivered... it all costs money. I know merchant fees aren't free but...

I walk through the metal detector each time without issue since I have done TSA precheck. If you do want to remove it and hand it to TSA tell them it must be hand checked no Xray. It's still annoying and they will swab it for explosive residue but it beats the extra invasive pat down. If...

Also for a short while (when I was not wearing a CGM that couldn't be removed) i would just take off my pump and specify that I needed this item hand checked. It cannot go through Xray. And then just went through the body scanner. This worked out better than opting out and waiting for a pat...

I know this thread is a month old but this topic hits home for me as I fly frequently and wear a pump and CGM. Medtronic specifically says their pumps cannot go through body scanners or Xray but the metal detector is ok. The information is a available on their website. I can't count the...

These are good suggestions thanks! However, with us living in Seattle, the trip to Florida is pretty sporadic. I don't think buying the extra ticket would be a good or valid option for us. We are staying at AKL so I guess getting to Pandora during a magic hours period or as early as...

The Disney travel agents program requires you to request the travel agent ticket in advance, but you must then go in person to purchase and pickup your ticket at the guest services window. We emailed the travel agent ticket request department and they said they are trying to implement a...

So my wife is a travel agent. As a result we are getting a discount on our February 2018 trip to Disney World. We will be staying at Animal Kingdom Lodge for a really reasonable price. My wife also get's a park hopper ticket at a significant discount. But she cannot get it until we arrive...

Thank you for the site recommendation. I'll check it out

Thanks for the post. I get what you are saying. We would probably let what the sale is guide our exact dates and resort/room type choice. We'd be flexible about switching, but I understand what you mean that the room we select now may not be what is part of the sale. Again, I appreciate...

This trip is definitely not contingent on a discount.... but a discount would totally sway which week we choose. I get your point though, I guess it doesn't hurt to have a booking now for what we want and later we can evaluate and switch if some promotion becomes available. haha, it took me a...

Thanks for the tip. We will likely try to make it before the first week of Feb to avoid crowds

Hi, I am new to the boards here but stumbled upon this site and it looks like a great place for information and resources. My wife and I (no kids) are planning a visit to Walt Disney World in late Jan/early Feb 2018. It looks like hotels just went on sale for 2018 a few days ago. We are...
