First trip since New Years Eve 2023 and I have missed a lot

[lurpee]

Hello. We haven't been to DL since Dec '22 and had a terrible time due to circumstances out of our control. My DD's (turning 18 in Dec and 14 in Jan) asked for a redo trip for their birthdays and Christmas presents. I have been out of the loop working two full-time jobs and getting a divorce. I don't even remember most of the acronyms, so I apologize. We have our hotel reservation for Pixar Pier, Park Hopper and LL passes. I booked theme park reservations and booked a reservation for Breakfast at Minnie's and a Fantasmic! brunch package thus far. I am just wondering if there are new things that I MUST know right now for booking. I will have time to actually look into more after December 1st. I know that I will be able to find any updated info on Rope Drop, itinerary planning in general, holiday offerings etc...I just haven't been preparing for this the way I have for the numerous trips in the past so I am sure there is so much I don't even know about that has changed. I don't expect people to write it out for me...just give me the key words to look up please if you think of anything. Thank you so much all. We will be there Dec 18th through the 20th and then heading to Universal for two days. Thanks for reading!

Sounds like a fun trip! It seems like you have all your ducks in a row. The only other thing would be if you want more dining reservations.

I suppose when you have time you could also decide if you want to get magic bands, and maybe play around with the app to familiarize yourself with it. But there's no rush on those things.
