Travel Tip Tuesday

Another short and sweet one. You're welcome :) As I prepare for my wonderful trip in less than two weeks, I have a million things running through my mind. I also have a list a mile long of things I still need to do, so I am going to give an easy tip today.

Did you know that you can call T-Rex directly for dining reservations? There are a few made available via the Disney World website, but the majority of their reservations are taken directly through the restaurant itself. The phone number is 407-828-TREX (8739). So, if you have a little one who has their heart set on eating there, call the restaurant directly if the website shows no availability. Chances are very good that you can get a seating at the time you want!

On a side note, if you have ever thought about eating here, I highly recommend it. Especially now that the restaurant is on the Disney Dining Plan. We have eaten here many many times and my daughter (who is almost 9) absolutely loves it. It is a little loud, but the fun factor definitely makes up for the noise in my opinion!

Travel Tip Tuesday

Here is a really quick tip. The check in time for Disney resorts is 3:00 pm. However, you should definitely check with the front desk if you arrive in the area early as we have gotten lucky several times and were able to get into our room as early as noon. You can check in at any time during the day, but your room may not be available. If you want to hit the parks as soon as you arrive in Orlando, check with your hotel whenever you arrive. If your room isn't available, you can leave your bags with the baggage area and they will hold them until you return from the parks. We have been lucky enough to have them delivered to our room before, but that doesn't always happen. At least you know your bags are being safely taken care of while you are playing in the parks!
