    MCO car rentals—skip the counter

    If you are picking up a rental car at MCO be sure and check out the Visitor Toll Pass app you can download before your trip. You pick up a tag in the airport to hang off your rear view mirror and then you need not stop at any toll booths. Return the tag after your trip for a $10 credit toward...

    Help for a first timer!

    If Orlando is the first stop on your vacation you could easily skip the rental car until you finish the parks. Considering the current cost of rental cars I would hate to have it just sitting in a parking lot plus paying at the resort for having a car with you . Not sure if the Swan gets free...

    Tusker House vs Yak n Yeti dinner?

    Don't forget there are three different ports where the boats dock in Disney Springs. You could ride over to the dock where you catch the boat for Riverside.

    If you were considering the Christmas After Hours before pricing came out, are you still going?

    We have bought the tickets. I have attended MVMCP in the past and found it very crowded. My hope is the higher cost plus later hours will greatly reduce the attendance. But then the kids are grown so only needed 2 tickets. Plus the fireworks are my favorite thing and to see two shows on one...

    MK: Where do you pick-up a 1-day wheelchair ECV?

    You could also try valet parking at the contemporary hotel. It is a much shorter walk to the entrance

    Sandals for wide-ish feet and achilles issue - suggestions?

    I like the Yucatán Ecco sandals - usually buy the men’s shoes as they are wider. Adjustable width at the the front of your foot, adjustable width in the back and the ankle strap is also adjustable. I now have them in 11 different colors for my summer outfits. Actually I live in Texas so pretty...

    Well that was a bust!

    I’m not sure 9am gives you enough time to drive to airport and make it through security for your 11:20 flight. Remember you can not board up to 11:20. Usually close boarding 15 min before take off time. My longest waits in security lines have always been in Orlando.

    Expedition Everest - Intensity and Motion Sickness??

    The part of EE that bothers me are the very tight turns after you come down off the mountain. I find the older I get the less I can tolerate.FOP I did close my eyes a lot. I wish I could just fly on the bird to enjoy the scenery but then the ride has the bird dive bomb through the trees - that...

    Can't use Magical Express - What's everyone's go-to car service?

    I think Mears price is per person and they have 4 adults. $140 Another vote for Tiffany car service. Love the grocery stop for bottled water and Dr Pepper since Disney only has coke products.

    What was your first resort?

    Our first two trips were 1977 & 1980. We stayed at the Polynesian. I can no longer afford their rates but still love the resort and the memories made there. Only the Magic Kingdom in those days and it was not hard to ride multiple times.

    The we loooooove Club Wyndham Bonnet Creek Part 4

    I always bring dryer sheets. I always get an extra room card. You need the card to open the entrance gate. I put the extra card in the car so we don’t have to search our pockets for a room card.

    Opinion: Doubletree Disney Springs or WBC?

    Why don’t you let your family decide. See if the kids would prefer their own separate beds and bathroom with the trade off of having to get up early for rope drop to do those rides you could not get a fass pass for or a hotel room with 2 queen beds and one bathroom for all 4 of you with sharing...

    Thanks for the correction.

    Downtown Disney Security - Running in early AM?

    Disney moved the borders of security. The entire area from the outer areas of the DL resort is all one big security bubble. So since you are at GC you are already inside. As long as he doesn’t crossover into the city area ( good neighbor hotels ) he will be fine. And you will not need to go...
