Can someone please explain the photopass to me and what is the cost. Is it worth it. I want as many memories captured as possible of Abby's wish trip
.
When you go to GKTW orientation, they will give you a card that gets you the photopass for free. I believe it was Maroo who arranged this for wish families. Basically, there are photographers all over the parks, at the entrances and at all the character greeting spots. You give them the card and all of the pics that any photographer takes is "saved" until you get home and check out your pictures and order your CD...for free! It's awesome, so definitely take advantage of every opportunity to have your picture taken. Most Photopass photographers will also take pictures with your camera, so hand them yours also so you have more immediate memories as well.
Also, we will arrive on a Thursday morning and I am thinking of just hanging out at GKTW for the day, with a trip to Walmart, but since it is Christmas on that day, we figured we would just kind of hang out there, especially since we have to be at the airport at 5am and our limo will be picking us up around 4:15-4:30am
This sounds like a great plan! I strongly encourage a full day at GKTW. We didn't do this, but I really wish we had. When we were getting ready to go home, there were so many things that the kids wished we had more time to do at GKTW.
On our last day we do not have to be at the airport until around 6pm or so, our flight doesn't leave until 9pm. What are your suggestions we do on the last day. I was thinking downtown disney, but not sure if we should include a park too, if so which one?
I'm not sure which would be the best park, but you definitely have pretty much a full day to spend somewhere. I would think you could fit in SeaWorld or one of the US parks on this day without a problem.
The day after arriving we have reservations @ Chef Mickey's at 8:30 am. Well, Steve and the 2 older kids are at 8:30, mine and Abby's is at 8:50. MAW will only pay for the mine and Abby's, not Steve and the kids. Should we just explain the situation to them when we get there and see if we could all be seated together? How early should we leave GKTW to get to Chef Mickey's?
Did you call the dining reservations number to see if they could help you with this ahead of time? I would hope that they would be accomodating at the door, and have you all sit together.
Abby is so excited to see Chip & Dale, Star Wars and Eyore
, these are her favorites. Kaila is just waiting for Tinkerbell
her favorite and Tilear is just excited for everything. I am just thrilled to see Mickey and Minnie, my 2 favorites for forever. Where are the best places to make sure everyone sees their special characters?
We saw Chip and Dale at MK, in Tomorrowland. I'm not sure where else you would see them. Anything Star Wars would be at DHS...we were there during Star Wars weekends, so we saw A LOT of Star Wars characters (Disney and real thing), but I don't know how many of those are out on a regular basis. I know Eeyore is at Crystal Palace at MK, not sure where else? And Tinkerbelle is with the rest of the fairies in Toontown at MK. You'll see Mickey and Minnie at Chef Mickey's for sure!
Sorry so long, but I am finally figuring out questions and trying to actually plan. If I get some sort of game plan then once the holidays are over, I can put it all together with some sort of clue.
