Guest Services is usually not that bad later in the evening or early in the morning. As others have stated, it is staffed 24/7. During most of the cruise, there will be hardly any line. It's just during the later days of the cruise, during popular hours that lines can get long.

On disembarkation day, I went to Guest Services around 6:00 a.m. or so and walked right up to the counter.

If you place a credit card to your KTTW card and put the tips on your account, do you need to checkout with GS or will the tips automatically get charged to your credit card??

Well, with that one question/answer you just solved any issues for myself... being a nightowl- that also won't be a problem for me. I can just settle up really late on the last night! (and tip either cash or receipts- whatever I decide to do- at breakfast the last morning)

If you put the Credit Card on your KTTW when you check-in, and at some point on the cruise get tip vouchers from guest services, no, you do not need to checkout.

The only reason you need to check out at guest services is if you are paying cash towards the KTTW. It is otherwise a totally automatic system.

Of course At least you have good taste. Would be a little worried if you were interested in say, Jimmy Spencer.

BBB = we brought a fairly good amount of cash (I prefer to shop in Mexico with cash -- too many surprises in the past on credit card bills with conversion rate, etc), and a large number of travelers' checks. Edited to add: I left all the cash, the TC's, my jewelry, wallet, DH's wallet, special pins purchased at MK before cruise, etc. in the safe, and never thought a minute about its safety. I used an old AAA card to secure the safe, and hid that deep in some clothing elsewhere in the room. I gave Guest services my Disney Visa card number at check in, and every once in a while as I walked by Guest Services stopped by and got a print out of my account if they were not busy. I don't like waiting in lines either.

The charges to my account when I checked it were all correct, so I let it go to the end of the cruise.

I would note one thing. I would also not like to give a company carte blanche to my debit card. From your counter, you have more than enough time to get a either a Disney Visa or a miles card -- believe me, this is the way to go! If you pay your bills online, you can set yourself a budget for onboard expenses, leave that amount in your checking account, and have a separate online payment made the last day of your cruise to your card. That way, you earn something from those dollars (ours were quite a bit more than I had expected), and not worry about your debit card. I also felt more comfortable shopping and dining at various ports with a credit card or cash, and not my debit card.

I used my Disney dollars at the Disney Memories store in DTD on the last day of our cruise - we had about 5 hours before our flight and drove to DTD. I was thrilled to be able to get what I wanted to scrap my cruise, and not have to worry about how much I was spending -- it was free!!

A bit off topic, but I'd be worried too. He's from my 'neck of the woods' and I'm not a fan. LOVE Tony Stewart, though!

BBB -- You seem awfully thin skinned to take offense where none is intended.

I'll just point out that (with one exception) everyone here has given you basically the same information: you don't need to go to guest services. ONE PERSON has reported a problem with bill delivery -- things do happen occasionally, but the chances of this particular problem repeating itself on your cruise are very slight indeed. Once you have been on a cruise, you will see that this is indeed a non-issue.

I promise I will never again offend you with the benefit of my experience. Have a wonderful cruise.

LOL

I like Tony too.
I live in a big sprint car town and he owns a car so he shows up here through the summer.
