I'm sitting in my room at Carribean Beach Resort as it thunderstorms/ now the pool and thought I would share a few things I learned (observed) in the last few days! I've been to Disney 3 times in the last 12 months so I'm not a newbie. But here are some of my thoughts...
1. FP+: when with a teenage this sure is nice! We didn't get to the parks until mid afternoon and still got to do headliners.
2. Securing additional FP+: LOVE that I can get additional FP+ While walking the queue of our third FP on the app. It works great! We got additional FP as soon as we got in line (scanned in and used the pass). This allowed me to get 4/5 additional passes. It also allowed me to get passes at a different park which was great.
3. Amazon PrimeNow works great. PrimeNow is Amazons 2 hour service. I ordered water and other foods. As of right now they don't have milk or bread but has water, frozen foods, yogurt and other dry foods. I placed my order the day before as you can schedule 24 hours in advance. I placed my order to arrive between 2-4. It arrived closer to the 4pm. We landed at MCO at 1 so I thought 2-4. We were at the hotel by 2 and didn't want to wait so bell service said they would hold it. It was actually delieved to my room and cold stuff placed in fridge. Your first order right now is $10 off and you must order $20. But a case of water was only $4.
5. Swell water bottles- I got a Swell bottle for Christmas and knew it was amazing but proved its value in gold in the Jume Disney heat. I filled them with ice and water and Gatorade and three hours later still had all the ice and the ice lasted thru three refills. Keep us with cold water all day!
5. KT tape - I have major tendon problems with my ankle and decided to try this tape as I heard good things. Wow what a difference. The extra support was just what I needed and had no pains.
6. AK at night is worth the planning but I would do the safari at twilight. We rode at 8 pm and saw so many amimals... Even the spotted hyenas. We rode again at 9:45 and saw very little. You can only see shadows of you see "anything". As our guide said... You get to see the new lighting!!! Lol. Everest at night is a new ride. I like it better at night. We didn't watch Jungle Book but saw parts as we rode Everest as it was going on. Tree of Life was beautiful.
7.And Lastly... Soarin will be amazing with the new show. The screen with the old makes it 100x better and the scents are back and powerful. Lol. We rode in the new C concourse. I'm Excited to see the new show in August!!!
A few days left but so far it's been a great trip!!!
