Quick tip of the dayListener Julie emailed this tip: For instance: we were on our way to Animal Kingdom in the afternoon and wanted to do the Kilimanjaro Safaris, there were no FastPasses for four people. But there are plenty for one person all within 10-15 minutes of each other, since there is an hour to get to the fast pass after it starts we all had plenty of time to get there and ride as one group."

Quick tip of the dayListener Brandyn emailed this tip: “I was wanting everyone on our trip to have a copy of our daily plans so that I don’t feel like I’m having to direct everyone, but I wanted them off phones for ease. I printed our daily plans on pocket-sized pieces of paper and then laminated them so they’ll be sweat and water resistant! You can buy laminators for under $20, and I use it for a lot of other stuff. Or you could have them laminated at an office supply store.” Subscribe to get new episodesThere are a few ways to get new episodes of WDW Prep To Go (if you're used to listening on the website, subscribe so you can take new episodes with you on your phone)

You'll also find out about Jessica's husband (who wasn't quite sure what all the fuss was about beforehand) to hear how he liked the trip. You'll also get a quick tip about the many uses of Ziploc bags during Disney World trips.

Pic of their themed Halloween party costumes. Quick tip of the dayListener Whitney emailed this tip: When ordering popcorn, I always ask for an extra cup (which is no charge!) and the cast member will almost always fill that cup with popcorn too. Between the cup of popcorn and the purchased bag of popcorn, there is enough to almost completely fill 2 quart sized bags, which is great for so many reasons. Obviously, the children are much less likely to spill the popcorn and it is easy to just close the bag and save it for later, which is so much easier than dealing with the open paper bags from the popcorn kiosks. But, this also really helps stretch our snack credits since we are able to give each child plenty of popcorn but only use one snack credit."
