Hiya Shawn!
Thank you so much for sending us your question, and welcome to planDisney, the most magical place on the internet. Wow, Shawn, I see you are a true Disney pro! I love that you have been staying up to date with Disney Parks news, and I firmly believe that it is the best way to fight the post-Disney blues. I also love that you have every detail of your next vacation planned - that is what we like to see here at planDisney!
Now, let's talk about how you can be prepared for the worst day of your vacation: the end. Since you will not have to get on the "Tragical" Express, as my family and I used to call it, the process might be a bit different now. First, I always love using airlines' various online check-in services as they allow you to start the check-in process from the comfort of your hotel room and skip the lines at the airport. Think of all the extra time you could spend at the Orlando International Airport's Disney store! Then, if you still want to have a paper copy of your boarding pass, which I also prefer to strictly using my phone, you can ask to have it printed at the front desk of your Resort hotel. You can also ask if your Resort hotel has a business center that you could use to print your boarding passes, but I have been able to print tickets at my resort's front desk before! Second, if these options are not available to you, you can always check in at the airport upon arrival. I would also recommend asking a Cast Member if they might have any other options for you that might be specific to your resort!
Now, Shawn, make sure to plan a visit during the
World's Most Magical Celebration! With new fireworks, special cavalcades, themed merchandise and
unique treats celebrating the history of the Walt Disney World Resort, the 50th-anniversary celebration is one you will not want to miss. Personally, I adored
Disney Enchantment at Magic Kingdom Park and
Harmonious over at EPCOT. Both shows are so touching and include so many of your favourite characters and Disney songs!
I hope this was helpful, Shawn, and that you and your family will have the best day ever on your upcoming Disney vacation. If you have any other questions about planning your next Disney vacation, please feel free to reach out. You and me, we're in a club now, and you're as welcome as can be!
Have a magical day,
Ariane
