Quick tip of the day

Emailed from Michelle D.:
"I was fortunate enough to tag along on a trip to Walt Disney World with my 4 nieces and nephews this past May.

I noticed we started wasting a lot of time at the turnstiles because my nieces and nephews couldn’t remember which hand they used to tap their finger to gain entrance to the park.

I started using a saying with them: Magic band, magic hand! That is to say, whatever wrist their magic band was on, that was the hand they should use their pointer finger to scan at the turnstiles.

We were lucky because they all had their bands on their right hands and used their right pointer finger, but I imagine using this phrase from the first day of our trip would have kept things flowing easier."

Quick tip of the day

Emailed from Julie H.:
"Our family of 6 relies on getting ice waters from quick service counters on our trips. It's just too much to bring in that many water bottles every day. We found that not only is mobile ordering good for food, but when we just need some quick cups of ice water, we went to the mobile order line.

We didn't order them ahead of time, but often they had waters just sitting there waiting to be passed out or they would kindly get us a cup. It saved a lot of time to not wait in the regular line for just a cup of water."

Quick tip of the day

Emailed from Mike S.:
"Cleaning your resort mugs, kids' sippy cups, water bottles and other items can be a pain with the soap in hotel rooms. Put a small dollop of dish soap on a few sheets of paper towels and let them dry at home. Fold them, store in a ziplock bag and place in your luggage for your Disney trip. Simply wet one sheet at a time, use and dispose!"
