Hi everyone - nice to be back here! Last visited WDW in 2009 with my wife for our incredible Disneymoon and now booked to return mid-June 2018 with our two kids (6 and 4) along. We're pretty regular visitors to Disneyland Paris so will be an education getting back into how WDW does things - but super exciting!
Naturally, a fair few questions!
We've booked with Holiday Genie to fly with Virgin, 14 day Disney tickets included with the usual bits and pieces including Quick Service dining for us all at Caribbean Beach Resort. Anyone got any views on Holiday Genie - all ok? Do we get our magic bands or anything else other than hotel voucher ahead of travel?
I'm aware that there is refurb work going on there and dining may be affected but I think all pools and so on will be ok? Anyone know what it's likely to be like next June?
Magical Express - we've never used before but it's included - I noticed on our ATOL confirmation, times for this 17:30 after a 15:45 arrival and 4pm for 19:40pm departure. How does this work - do we collect our bags and go to a desk? When we arrive at the resort do we collect our bags off the bus or do they get transferred to our rooms (by pixie dust...).
Tickets - we're not bothered about tickets starting on arrival day as we'll just settle in but would like them on our departure day but if starting on arrival would that be the 15th day and therefore not possible?
I'll have loads more questions but any help/advice would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!
