Creator's Key Takeaways

I'm not saying you shouldn't, but we are not going to probably do Disney transport again.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓Use private transportation or Uber instead of Disney transport to avoid early morning waits.
✓Take your luggage off yourself instead of using express walk-off to have more flexibility.
✓Skip pirate night dinner in the main dining rooms to break up the routine.
✓Avoid booking too many excursions in a row or very early morning excursions.
✓Join Pixie Dusting groups instead of normal fish extender groups for less stress.

Worrying about gift quality in fish extender groups — Join Pixie Dusting groups instead for less pressure and smaller gifts.
Feeling guilty about staying in the room — Don't feel guilty; make sure to get relaxed time on vacation.
