Mobile What now ... ?

Feel a little in limbo!

We’ve booked most things and am just waiting to pay some bits off.
Have made ADRs.
Soon will be doing Fast Pass bookings ... but not for a few weeks!

Not sure what I should be doing? Last time we went I felt like I always had something to do/prepare for!
We have insurance, ESTAS, hotels all sorted!

Am I missing something?

We just made an itinerary of what we wanted to do and where we wanted to go once we’d done everything else...that and watched as many YouTube videos as we could.

Up to now I have bought 20 snack size chocolate bars. A smelly for the room face wipes and sun cream plus the usual paracetamol, ibrufon and blister plasters. Booked meet and greet for Manchester plus MDE. Staying on site 90 days to go can not wait.

This is a good idea, I'm off to make a list of bits to take! I've started buying suncream every week when shopping but usually end up thinking of dozens of bits at the last minute, and I never remember blister plasters and someone always needs one!

My first port of call is to the nearest Walmart to buy all the things suggested in the post. Always cheaper.

If you've got some time on your hands, any chance you could pick up some of the tasks I keep putting off please? This is my list:

- ESTA * 1 (as 1 passport expired)
- Airport hotel
- Airport parking
- Car hire Tampa - WDW
- Finish off ADRs
- Make FPs (we're inside 60 days now I think - I'll check when I post this)
- Find out price/availability of extending 10 nights at Beach Club to 13 or 14 nights.
- Cancel 3 nights at Contemporary depending on the above
- Car hire for the last 8 days (pick up WDW, drop off Tampa)
- Find and book a house with pool somewhere on the Gulf Coast for last 7/8 nights

Yep - we're inside 60 days, so start with Fastpasses please and then work from the top.

If you have to get an Uber to Walmart and back it's cheaper to buy them before you go. Plus I wouldn't want to waste precious holiday time there.

I always drive, never Uber so it's always on the way from the airport to the hotel. Not really much of a waste of time 😎😎

I buy paracetamol and ibuprofen and sun cream in Asda or Tesco. We buy their own brands 20p or 30p a pack. Asda suncream spray 5 star rated £3.50. Going to Walmart is a great option but if like us you don’t drive then taking essentials in your case is a no brainier. Each to there own.
