my first day is hs too...good half day, great nighttime entertainment, and not too late after early morning flight.My first day is hs so year weird but thought we would start off easy and close to resort. Our last day is a mk day tho
good to know
yeah that is a lot harder to change, someone would have to drop because I think they are all booked up. I am still trying to move my 4:20 on my last day a bit earlier but if not we can do it last thing before we leave the park.
Nope. I'm getting in late 12/2 so no ADRs.
I had never heard of tipping housekeeping until our first Disney trip, either! I'm still on the fence about it. Technically, it's not a tipped position. We did $5/day last time. Might do that again this time.
rteetz is a VERY solid source. of course he does not have control over things changing (like if things go wrong or they do not feel ready to open) but his information is very very good I have found.
I have $3 a day ready already
Hahaha. I typed books by mistake (darn autocorrect). Went back in to edit my post but guess I wasn't fast enough before you responded!
imagine the disappointment of the mousekeeper who gets some ratty old handmedown paperback instead of a tipI love books, so I was intrigued at the idea of tipping in books instead of bucks.

Oh no!! I'm sorry to hear about DH's knee. Lots of ice and Aleve...and try to keep it elevated.
Agreed! By DH's special request we are starting with AK (it's usually our last park) and it's going to be our first time NOT doing MK first!
I think the general is $1 per person per night. I personally tip $3-$5 a day, for each day. Some people wait until the end of their trip, but I don't think it's a good practice because you likely have different housekeepers throughout your stay. I did read in another thread that Mouskeeping is not officially a tipped position, but I do it anyway because I know how hard they work. To each his own, though.
Ordered more shirts from teepublic last night.
I HAD to get DH the Gizmo Duck shirt I saw...it's his favorite character and there's never anything in the parks with him on it.
I also got us semi-matching Best Day Ever shirts (in different colors with the castle.)
Still have to order my SDFP MB's from Disney store online, and decide if I'm going to get the Vera mini-hipster. I really want to make sure whichever crossbody bag I bring is lightweight and the strap won't irritate me.
Oh, and yesterday I was at Walmart and moseyed over to the Christmas stuff. There was a woman looking in the same aisle as me, and at the same time we both noticed Mickey ear headbands with little Santa hats on them. We got to talking, and turns out she's going to Disney on Dec 9, and is saying at Pop! She told me I would love AoA, especially the Little Mermaid rooms. That made me feel a little better.
