Hi folks! First post on these boards *ever*
after reading around the forums for maybe a couple of months and wanted to say hi.
I'll be checking in at BWI 9/4 with DH for six nights and it's our
first time at a Disney-owned resort, so I'm pretty, pretty excited (on our Honeymoon and our 2nd Anniversary we stayed at the Swan). This is his 4th time at WDW and my 3rd (I grew up in the Los Angeles area and went to
Disneyland once or twice a year when I was a child/teen).
It'll also be both of our first times doing Hoop Dee Doo Revue! And we're going to check out for the first time AKL, the FW area, and probably the WL area during our stay. And first time California Grill. Sadly, no
MNSSHP; maybe next time. Stoked for Food & Wine! Epcot is our fave park! [insert Spaceship Earth emoji here]
I've read through (although perhaps not completely digested) this entire thread for information. Apologies for repeat questions! (Mostly I just wanted to say hi. Hi!)
1) I already submitted my TouringPlans room request (we paid for standard view and I was hoping for a 5th floor courtyard view, mostly with quiet as the priority). If I do online check-in in
MDE now, will it mess up the fax? Or will it only mess up the TouringPlans fax info if I do online check-in *after* the fax goes through 5 days prior to the check-in date? Or maybe neither?
2) We're there for a week, and I'd like to order some simple necessities to be there when we get there (to save carry-on luggage room) - probably not refrigerated stuff; think water bottles, Quest bars. What's cheap and efficient to just order something like that to the resort?
Amazon Prime is best maybe? (We have no car.)
3) Is walking to the gas station to get inexpensive snacks still a thing?
Thanks everyone! I love the Disboards!
