Airport
- Global Entry might be worth it

- Use Lyft or private driver to get to WDW
Stay in hotel with easiest commute
- Boardwalk hotels or Contemporary
- Pop Century otherwise
Transportation
- Walk if you can
- Take Lyft/Minnie Van to cut down transport times
Dining
- Eat near where you’ll be
- Dine at good restaurants that aren’t the hardest reservations to get. The Wave, Yachtsman Steakhouse, Tutto Italia.
- To avoid being stuck to ADRs, make them last minute and/or eat Quick Service
Touring
- Get After Hours tickets to Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios if available
- With little ones, consider Early Morning Magic for Magic Kingdom and Hollywood Studios
- Don’t try to do everything, but pick a few top priorities
