Hi Everyone! I can't seem to find a thread dedicated specifically to this, but if I missed it please let me know!
I have been tasked with taking my nephew to his cheerleading summit competition at Disney next weekend. We will be arriving early Friday morning, May 3rd, and leaving Tuesday morning, May 7th. I have been to Disney a million times for vacation, but I have never been for a competition or anything like this. Does anyone have any advice/tips? Mainly on the points below? I am a planner, I usually have my trip booked 6-8 months in advance, FPs and ADRs booked as soon as i am able to, and i usually have each day planned for the most part months in advance. This trip seems like it will sort of be a take it day by day, hour by hour kind of trip, so I am sort of panicking!

- It seems like the check in process is complicated. Like there's a bunch of different places we have to check in? And they said we need our confirmation number and reservation information, but i never received any of that (i booked the package through Varsity Cheer.)
- We arrive at the airport at 9:30am, but we wont have magic bands. How do we get on the magic express without magic bands? Do we have to check in with varsity cheer somewhere at the airport first?
- How much time do you end up spending at the parks/at the ESPN center for the competition? People keep telling me to plan to be at the ESPN center all day Saturday and possibly all day Sunday if he makes it-but that seems a bit crazy. Why would i have to be there all day if doesn't compete until later in the day? All his other competitions he just arrived a few hours before his comp time, and left after he competed?
- Are we provided with more information when we arrive, because I feel like the info Varsity Cheer is sending out is slightly vague and I really don't want him missing anything or being late.
