what tech donyou take to WDW?

[Mo&Chris]

Phone
Tablet
Bluetooth Keyboard for the tablet
Kindle
Camera
Power bank

USB Charger with a US cable, plus enough USB cables to charge all that lot! Chris will have similar, less the keyboard.

Next year, we have a knock off go pro to take, which also means that I'll be taking a laptop and an external drive as well, unless I can find a really good video editing app for my tablet. Usually, the tablet and keyboard will replace the need (and weight!) for a laptop.

Rather than calling home, I blog my holiday, it's a nice way to decompress each evening and record the day.

I've also got a KiiPix printer I'll take, to print pics on the go - does that count as tech, since it's unpowered?!

The only things that will go to the park, though, are my phone, camera and power bank. The rest stays in the villa.

I just take chargers / charging cables for phone, camera and my kindle. First time we went I took my Nintendo ds but didn't use it all on flight or anything. Pack tech light

TL;DR: Not really. We got most of what we wanted fastpassed and the waits for other stuff wasn't that bad as we skipped a few of the nuttier lines (toy story, navi river) or maximised our knowledge of park crowd behaviour. Wasn't peak efficiency but good enough for us.

In detail, our Epcot days went off without a hitch. One day we fastpassed soarin and did living with the land then headed to test track the other day we did basically the opposite way. Dont do character meets.

Animal Kingdom we did two days, hit up Safari morning one day, evening the next (plus a third non fp'd in there too), everest was a waste of a fp but we had that too, didn't need to fastpass FoP as we did it first thing (40-50 min wait), dont do navi, other than that there really wasnt anything we needed to fp there.

Hollywood studios we fp'd star tours, twilight zone and indiana jones I think as I had run out of things we wanted to fastpass! Checked at a kiosk twice on the day for toy story, nothing as expected. We only did that as a morning park anyway.

MK was probably the one park where we might have really gone nuts trying to get more fastpasses, but I did the three mountains amongst other rides. Not doing MK next year anyway, as it makes my blood pressure rise just trying to get round it.
