Hi all,
We're heading back to WDW next weekend for the first time in 8 years(!) so things have changed a lot. Got a few final - I hope, stressing out a lot here - questions if anyone can help me out? Thanks!
Heathrow Virgin Atlantic Check-In
I can check in online 24 hours before my flight with Virgin Atlantic, but it doesn't mention anything about bags. Do we keep them with us at the airport hotel and drop them off the morning of the flight or is there an evening baggage drop-off like I remember from times gone by?
Park Hopping and Reservations
If I have a reservation for, say, Magic Kingdom on Monday but we don't go, could we then go to a different park (say EPCOT) that same day after 2pm or do we have to have entered Magic Kingdom that day to "activate" our reservation and be able to hop to another park?
Memory Maker
We have Memory Maker included with our passes, as we did last time. Do I need to link them to MDE in any way or will that have already happened as they're part of the tickets? When I open the Disney app and click Photos, it says "Your PhotoPass photos and videos will appear here." Also, videos? What videos???
On our last trip, the rides with photos detected our magic bands and the photos showed up automatically in our PhotoPass accounts without us doing anything. This time, we're staying off-site so no magic bands. We'll be carrying the physical credit card style tickets and they're linked to our phones (no Apple Watches). Can the rides detect the phones/tickets now or will I need to scan something to get ride photos linked?
Uber/Lyft
I have Uber installed on my phone for use in the UK, will that same app work in the US or do I need a US-specific Uber app? Same for Lyft.
Finally, if anyone has stayed at Holiday Inn Club Vacations at Orange Lake, when/how often does housekeeping come by? Want to make sure I have appropriate cash to leave for tips.
