    Online Check-in: Can I still by-pass Passport and Flight info and update later?

    I didn't run into any errors, if that makes you feel better. But I spaced on getting the kids head shots before bed, so in the AM my husband had to quickly take them. We had DCL transfers though, so I wasn't worried about a PAT or anything like that.

    Online Check-in: Can I still by-pass Passport and Flight info and update later?

    There's a joke that elder millennials will only do important things on a big screen. I did it from my computer, I had all the photos stored in my google photos and downloaded them to a folder on my desktop. I found it super difficult to take a photo of my passport though and swapped it out for...

    Private Transfer vs DCL Transport from WDW Hotel to Port Canaveral

    If you're concierge, it doesn't matter, I think you can board whenever you want. I think at 4 people is where the calculation can go either way as to which method is more cost effective.

    Wish splash pad ages

    A 6 year old will be fine. They didn't say no to my 7 year old (who is as tall as an 8 year old), but the attendant was like "she'll probably be bored in there" and she was... ETA: I should stipulate, my 7 year old went in to play with her 3 year old sister who wasn't fully potty trained...

    Tips for going through airport security with an 8 month old.

    I don't think I ever traveled with ice packs? But if I was, I'd just get those reusable freezer packs for lunch boxes. When we'd travel by car, I would bring the formula packets and bottles but my first born would drink room temperature formula. My second one was super picky and needed it...

    Which moderate?

    I don't know how long the walk is, but when I stayed at Riv, I appreciated that it's a one resort bus, no sharing with other resorts. One of these days we'll actually stay at CBR, we've had 2 or 3 stays booked there that get moved for one reason or another.

    Private Transfer vs DCL Transport from WDW Hotel to Port Canaveral

    Since the COVID restart, WDW resort transfers are now some of the earlier port arrival times and BGs. I believe mine was 11:30 with a BG of 6? I believe they were on BG 4 or 5 when we arrived at the line to check in for security. ETA: What's your Castaway status? If you book your own...

    Help me understand PAT vs boarding group

    I didn't have to, I advanced to the page and it told me what it was. I think if you're coming from the airport you have to pick at PAT though.

    Help me understand PAT vs boarding group

    There was such a bottleneck at the check in, they had blown past our BG by the time we got through security. So you probably won't even have to wait once you get past security. If you're a returning cruiser, no need to stay up if you have port transfers. The only thing you would need to be up...

    Overwhelmed and

    I never do, my trips aren't complex enough for me to need one, and I'm basically at my computer all day so if discounts do drop I can handle it myself.

    Zero Enforcement of Dress Code @ Palo

    My husband was told to go back to the room to get his sneakers for brunch, because men need to wear closed toe shoes (which if they had spelled it out specifically in the dress code, he wouldn't have been irritated, it was more that it wasn't specified)

    Placeholder logistics

    Countersign, and I'll add in fully potty trained. We survived a 4 night with an un potty trained 3 year old (not for lack of trying, she's just stubborn) but I was really glad we hadn't booked a 7 night.

    Overwhelmed and

    If I remember, it was hot but not humid and that made all the difference in the world. But I was on my honeymoon so I don't remember the details and we were more focused on the "wine" part of food and wine....wine that is in the form of margaritas in Mexico.

    Dress code for MDRs?

    For the MDRs, it's basically wear clothes that aren't bathing suits and some sort of shoe.

    November or December for a Christmas trip? Plus Resort question

    Oddly enough my youngest who is the lightest sleeper in the world, wasn't bothered by the fireworks in Tuvalu when we stayed at the Poly in April 2022 but I can't remember if she was asleep by then or not....

    Observations from our 4-Night Wish cruise 4/8-4/12

    I don't think we ever made it to the bars on the Dream, whereas I stepped foot in most of them on the Wish as I was wandering around the ship before picking up my kiddo from the kids club

    November or December for a Christmas trip? Plus Resort question

    I don't remember the fireworks at WL but I do remember the electric pageant, that was worse. It could be that we were facing the water dead on from our room (5069). Normally it wouldn't have bothered me, but we had gotten up early that morning to disembark the Wish and we were leaving early...

    Observations from our 4-Night Wish cruise 4/8-4/12

    Arendelle was the one place where I got 2 appetizers because I couldn't choose. Arendelle was also the one place where I felt crammed in like sardines. Our table assignment actually had us at an 8 top in Marvel and we also had some breathing room in 1923, but Arendelle felt like a sardine can.

    Strollers

    I totally get wanting it at the airport and I really wish we hadn't gotten rid of our umbrella stroller (summer infant 3d), it would have been perfect for the airport and tolerable to bring on the ship. But looking back, there's no way we would have been able to wrangle the folded up stroller...

    Which one will I regret the most?

    My sister visited for the first time last summer. She picked up KTTW cards at the resort instead of using magicbands as they were planning a one and done trip and she couldn't cost justify the magicband costs. She did not use Genie+ but it did result in some pivoting when Test Track didn't open...
