And hey presto an ice pack... Great for cooling down...
great tip

Top Tips for a first timer

Hi all, so as it is our first time, I want to draw on the experiences of planning from other Dibbers. What did you learn on your first trip that you would now do or already do on future trips?

We took a waterproof case for our iphones which meant that we could use our phones as a camera/video at discovery cove, villa pool and the waterparks. It worked really well and every time we used it at the water parks we were stopped and asked by others where they could buy them from. We also used it to keep the car keys/few dollars in when we were only going for a short stop off at a waterpark for a cool down - so we didn't need to bother paying $10 for a locker.

The ones we used were:

Yes, we used them all the time, we were a bit apprehensive at first, but they were fantastic, took some great underwater video at Discovery Cove and lots of photos too. Great fun at the waterparks and villa pool too.

That's fantastic will definitely order some for us thanks for the info (If I keep on reading the Dibb all my new "essentials " are going to be nearly as much as the holiday) !

Utilize your phone for dining reservations... set alerts/alarm to go off an hour before then 15 mins before the actual time, it is very easy to caught distracted or caught in the moment at Disney.
