Planning Questions

[AStarOnMars]

I had no clue which forum to post this in considering my questions ...

My DF and I are regular Disneyland APs ... forget regular, we live there lol ... we will be taking our first trip next August to WDW!!!!! ... I think I have been studying for this trip for the past two years lol ....

There is no such thing as being too prepared ... I feel the more time I have knowing about everything I will have a stress free vacation ... and won't miss things

These are some questions I still haven't found answers to or am confused about ...

For you resort fanactics out there think of this as a mini quiz lol ...

1. Does the CR have blow dryers in the rooms?

2. mini fridge or do I need to request it?

3. We are staying 10 days but only doing the parks for 7 ... If I am doing this through Disney's website: Does the DDP only count for how many days I am on property (10) or how many days I am in the park (7)?

5. I am a first time flyer ... We will be using AA to get there ... I know they are a participating DME airline ... I understand the arrival part and my bags will be taken care of with the proper yellow tags ... but how does departing work (time/my bags)?

6. We plan to use GardenGrocer.com for water and snacks ... but it looks like you can only order online ... can you order using their toll free number? Are they the best to use?

7. Shipping my purchases ... I read that you can ship your purchases right from the shops or have them delivered to your room ... I would like to have them room delivered and ship them out in one box ... do I just ask the front desk and go from there?

8. PS ... is it 90 or 180 days out?

Thanks!

I'm so excited ... but now my DF has to deal with my OCD in planning hahahaha

OK, here goes, I will try to answer the ones that I can.

2) The room should have a fridge. If not, you can request one.

3) I believe that the DDP covers the length of your stay at the resort. Can anyone confirm this?

5) I haven't used ME yet, but from what I have read, you check in at a special desk at your resort. They will give you your boarding passes & take your luggage. Please note that everyone must be there with their ID when you do this. I think that you need to do this at least 3.5 hours in advance (please check on this). Normally, the bus will pick you up 3 hours before your flight for the trip back to the airport.

Hope that this helps!

I'll help, too!

1. Yes, the CR had blow dryers in 2001, so I'm sure they still do.

2. All deluxe and mod. resorts now come with a mini fridge.

3. The DDP is good for however many nights you purchased in your package. So, if your package is for 10 nights at CR, you will each get 10 TS, 10 CS, and 10 snack credits. There are plenty of nice restaurants to eat at that are not in the parks where you can use these credits!

4. WHAT HAPPENED TO QUESTION #4???

5. Donald is #1 got this one.

6. Sorry, I have no experience with this.

7. Not sure about this either. I've only had them shipped to my room or home from the shops, not home from the resort.

8. 180 days! So if you are talking about this coming August, you'd better get on the ball!!

Hope this helped!
