After lunch the first day, we were able to change our dinner times from second to first seating. This was done quick easily, without waiting in line. There was a short line for Palo's by this time - 1:30/2:00. I also went to Guest Services to have my DD charging capabilities removed. Also, no waiting.

General Priceless Tips:

Over the door shoe holder - this cannot be emphasized enough. I bought two at the Dollar Store. When DH saw them, he thought I was a genius.

A carry-on day bag which included bathing suits. No waiting for your luggage.

Book exersions before your cruise. Our tickets were in our stateroom.

Watch the Cast members with the Mickey hands wave goodbye from the dock. I loved it!

Get to port as early as possible! For goodness sakes, fill out your cruise documents ahead of time. Our tablemates were frustrated because they had to take the time to fill them out before boarding.

Go to the furthest line when checking in. No waiting.

Prepare in advance an envelope with the cash (if you will be using cash) you will use for tipping, along with a copy of the the tipping guidelines. It made it feel like it was prepaid
 
Thanks for the report, the tips are great.
I'm going to try that with the tips, that was one area I was worried about ...trying to save money for that at the end. I'm trying to just count it in as part of the cruise cost.
 
I didn't know about the CM with Mickey Hands waving goodbye to the ship. I'll will have to look for that next time!
 
Great tips! Thanks for posting this.
