Quick tip of the day
Listener Melissa emailed this tip:
"We are traveling to Disney in March and staying at Bay Lake Tower. We are going with another family, but are arriving on two separate days (we check in Saturday, they check in Sunday). This trip each family decided to splurge and get the Deluxe Dining Plan. We made reservations for 14 character meals, plus Be Our Guest breakfast, Tony’s and T Rex. Our friends are arriving a day after us but we are meeting them for dinner at 1900 Park Fare the first day we check in. Since they won’t have their meal plan activated until the following day when they check in, we are going to use the credits from our plan to pay for their meal. Then once their plan is activated they can pay for one of our meals later in the trip. This saves them paying out of pocket and maximizes the credit use."

Just found this podcast and its turning out to be a huge help so far! I think it was this one that there was a Chip and Dale Christmas Tree Spree mentioned? I haven’t been able to find anything about that anywhere. Could you explain a bit more? We are going in December and my five year old loves those chipmunks!
Hi, Lauren –
Here’s info about it from last year that should help – https://wdwprepschool.com/holiday-christmas-season-at-disney-world/#Chip_and_Dales_Christmas_Tree_Spree
Awesome, thanks! My son will love this when we go this December. Hopefully, they do it again this year!
Both you, and Kim mentioned subscribing for an alert when a particular restaurant has a reservation open up. Would you share with me (or remind me) of how to do this? Thanks!
Hi, Melissa – that site is MouseDining.com. Should’ve mentioned that in the podcast. Will try to remember that next time.
Great trip report! So glad Kim was able to adjust and just go with the flow. There is so much more to Disney World than rides. My kids favorite things at Disney are pools, mini golf, arcades, and Happily Ever After.
I kept hoping they would discover Sorcerer’s of the Kingdom. Her son is old enough for it, and would love it since he loves characters so much.
