If you’ve ever stood in a 45-minute security line at the airport thinking, “There has to be a better way,” I am here to tell you: There absolutely is.
TSA PreCheck
If you travel to Disney World, Disneyland, or pretty much anywhere more than once a year, TSA PreCheck can be a TOTAL game-changer. This airport security service offers shorter lines and fewer things you need to remove from your bags and clothes when going through a checkpoint. It’s so much easier than the regular standby line — but it comes at a price. If you’re looking to save on a TSA PreCheck membership, there are some non-TSA programs that offer this service FREE OF CHARGE!

Disposable Bed Sheets
It’s rare that we experience trying something in Disney World that we dislike SO much we actually advise no one use them, but this is one of those situations.

Outside of perhaps the numerous Harry Potter-themed eateries, dining inside Universal Orlando’s theme parks tends to get the short shrift compared to Walt Disney World dining in the minds of many travelers. However, our recent dining adventure shows that the resort has some hidden gems!
Confisco Grille
Specifically, we dined at Islands of Adventure’s Confisco Grille. While this opening day eatery doesn’t receive nearly as much attention as its park-mate Mythos, the restaurant provided us with a delicious and somewhat surprisingly upscale dining experience.
