Last minute trips!

[Ladybug Mom]

Call me crazy, but on Thursday night, I booked a last minute trip for my family of six and both my mom and my husband's mother. It's a Mother's Day gift for them, and an extra long weekend for my kids in school so they'll only miss 3 days, so I though, "Why not, eh?"

I'm not totally green to Disney, I'm a former CM (1991-92) so I know the ins and outs of the parks, and my last visit was 6 years ago, before any of my other kids were born.

I guess I have a few questions? I have tickets left from 2002, but can't remember what's left on them. Can I only find this out at at the Park Entrances?

My passes are 5 day Park Hopper plus options 4- What are the "options"? I know we can hit Typhoon Lagoon and Blizzard Beach, but what else is included?

We're going to buy a playpen and highchair for my youngest while were there (cheaper and easier than bringing our own or renting) is there a place that you know of that I can easily donate these to when I'm finished with them?

If you have any other last minute tips for me, I'd greatly appreciate them!

Crazy? No way! That sounds AWESOME!!

I believe Guest Services at the hotel your staying at can tell you whats left on them. IF your not staying on site, then you'll have to go to a Guest Relations Window at the park entrance to find out.

IF the 5 day park hopper plus tickets have NOT been used, then you'll have 5 days of options to use (5 days = 5 options) at the water parks, Pleasure Island, Wide World of Sports and DisneyQuest. You will only be able to go to one of those per option per day.

Will you be staying at one of the Disney Resorts? If so they can usually provide a playpen during your stay at no extra cost (just need to call ahead to reserve it). I'm not sure about the highchair though.

If you are staying on sight you can request a crib for your room. If you are staying offsite than yes it is probably cheaper to pick them up new yourself. You can also check out abbf.com. They have very reasonable rental prices and will deliver and pick up the stuff.Any guest relation window at any of the parks or Disney hotels will be able to tell you what is left on you park passes.
