45 Days to Go: Disney Tip (#4)

Time for another tip...

If you're staying for an extended time, don't worry about packing clothes for every day. Every Disney hotel comes with its own laundry room, usually located by the pool. So, you and the family can go for a dip and leave with clean clothes.

55 Days to Go: Disney Tip (#3)

Hmm, I've been thinking about which tip I wish to bestow on you this time around...Hmm...

So, you've arrived at the parks and you can't decide what to do first? You know you want to fastpass some rides, but wait are the wait times? What rides are closed today? Is there a place to find this all out? Yes, there is. Each park as a board set up that will tell you the wait times for each ride and whether or not the ride is closed. In the Magic Kingdom, this board is located right on Main Street, USA, as you approach Cinderella's Castle. In Epcot, it is a high-tech electronic board located near the Imagination Pavilion, near the entrance to the World Showcase. Hollywood Studios' can be find on either Hollywood or Vine. As for the Animal Kingdom's...well, we're not there often enough for me to note.

So don't be afraid to search out these boards. They can be helpful. Though, don't always take them at their word. Sometimes a ride goes down temporarily and it takes a while for the cast member in charge of the board to return it's status to "open."

65 Days to Go: Disney Tip (#2)

Time for my second Disney Tip!

This one will help you shopping around the World. See something you like? Something that would be perfect for even the most finicky person on your "Souvenir" list? Don't want to carry around that bag all day, on and off rides? Staying in a Disney resort? There is a solution!

As long as you are not checking out within the next 24 hours, you can ask the cashier at any Disney store to send the packages to your room. They will take your hotel information (provided it is only a Disney resort) and send your purchase the next day. You can ask at the hotel where you would pick up the packages, but it is usually at the hotel store.

So, shop without worrying about what you are going to do with your baggages. Disney has them taken care of.
