:::doing my best Goofy imitation::: awww GARSH! thanks for all the nice comments!
DAVID:
I had booked thru the Disney Web site, so I just called them about a month before and said I wanted to pre-pay our tips. She gave me the price and I paid it with my Disney Visa card. Took about 3 minutes.
If you used a TA, I'm sure you can contact them and do the same.
I like having everything I can paid before we go.
SANDIE:
I was really worried about the 3 day being too short for me.
Of course, getting me OFF any cruise is a real struggle
Could I have stayed another week? SURE!
But, I really felt good about it when we left.
I felt like we had done a lot, enjoyed so much and also relaxed.

I really feel like you could make an 11:50 flight.
Just because you have late dining and are scheduled for the 7:45 breakfast, doesn't mean you have to go.
You can do what we did and get extra cereal and milk the day before. Either from room service, or just go up to Cabanas at breakfast time and bring some back to the room.
We made sure we kept the bowls and spoons for the extra cereal we ordered the day before. We got drinks the night before and kept in the fridge.
Instead of being in the dining room at 7:45, just have a quick breakfast in your room and then head out about that time. About 7:30 would probably be better. If you do the Onboard Airline check-in, your luggage will already be there, and you'll already have your boarding passes.
You won't have to search for luggage at the port, you can turn in your customs forms and grab a Disney Bus (or whatever transport you planned)
It's an hour to the airport. So, if you were out of there by 7:30 to 7:45, you'd be at the airport before 9:00.
That gives you time to go through the LONG security lines at the airport and then go to the food court and have a "bigger" breakfast, if you need.
The lines that morning at MCO were long to go through security. Just make sure you factor that time in.
We got there early, 9:30ish, but had the day room at Hyatt...
but, we noticed the long lines for security.
Lots of cruise people I guess. and WDW vacationers going home on Sunday.
HAVE A WONDERFUL TIME EVERYONE!!
The MOST important thing is the wonderful memories you'll be making.
Don't sweat the small stuff
