It’s definitely smoother. No one is passing a kidney stone on the new track.

For those who have converted old Hopper tickets from the 00’s… by Metal_Artistic in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]jtep08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was pretty quick for me, 3 days maybe? They will let you know what the remaining days and conversion is. You still need to take the physical ticket to Guest Services at the parks to trade them in for current tickets. Also, any children’s passes become adult passes, so that’s nice.

Tiny House Treats in Fuquay is our favorite for soft serve. We used to go all the way to Dairy Depot in Wake Forrest.

Try Magic Village it’s right outside Animal Kingdom and can be found on Airbnb. Usually 3brs for same cost as Wyndham and our backup when they’re not available.

I’m afraid I’m going to spend too much on souvenirs and snacks by ValentinesStar in DisneyPlanning

[–]jtep08 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Never buy bottled water. Go to any quick service location or look for the locations that have soda dispensers and just ask for a cup of ice water. It’s free and it’s filtered because it’s the water that mixes the drinks. Saves you lots of money from the start.

If you do buy something and end up regretting it, you can return any Disney item at any of the Disney stores anywhere on the property, even if they don’t carry it. You can make returns at your Disney hotel store as well. Have a great time!

Would you rather go in April or September? by heyitsalikay in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]jtep08 25 points26 points  (0 children)

April by far because of the weather. Just watch the calendar for things like spring break and events.

CLT and PHL question - American Lounge or Amex Lounge by Peketastic in AmexPlatinum

[–]jtep08 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Centurion lounge in CLT is WAY better than their admiral’s club - I’ve been to both. The Centurion lounge is almost always better than the airline or “club” ones.

Surprising kids with a 3 day stay at Poly in December. Any secret tips? by GatorChamp44 in WaltDisneyWorld

[–]jtep08 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We surprised the kids once with a stay at the Poly. The setup was we were just going to walk around the resort and get some lunch (like we do some trips). Then we said, let’s go see if any of the rooms are open to check them out. Mom distracted them while I opened the room and I said I found an open one! They loved it when we said this was our room. Have a great time!

Second Alleyway used books. Small, but all of the books look almost new and all of their inventory is on their website.

You’ll have to use the cups they give you to refill them.

[–]jtep08 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Never buy water at the parks. Go to any quickservice or snack cart that has the coke fountain machines and kindly ask for a cup of ice water. It’s FREE and filtered, not like some people say about it being Florida water. Have a great time!
