David's back !
Wow we cover a lot on this months episode starting with some of the highlights from Davids latest trip, Booking flights, dealing with jetlag,our love hate of APPs, some great tips on using a Revolut account and no! were not sponsored by them but we should be!
and David shares some exciting news which you won't want to miss!
Revolut.
Revolut has monthly limits for adding money, exchanging into other currency and cash machine withdrawals. These are all based around your refresh date.
To find this, do the following.
1, on your revolut app, on the home page click on your photo top left of the screen
2. Click on Plan
3. Click on the item (ATM, Trade, Exchange)
4. the next screen shows your Refresh date for ATM
5. This is the screen for Exchange
So if your refresh date is 16th June, and your ATM withdrawal allowance is £200 a month. You could do one on the 15th June, and one on the 17th June and pay no fees. If you do one on the 15th and one on the 16th, you’ll pay fees.
ALSO, Revolut charge currency exchange fees on weekend exchanges so make sure you do your exhanges Monday to Friday!
Images match the steps
For getting a tron ride. (Deep breath).
Set a 645 alarm on your mobile device (or earlier, or on more devices
Have 2 devices handy, one to book on and one for the world clock
Test which is quicker wifi or cellular using a speed test (disable wifi and try your phone, then disable phone and try wifi). Use the quicker one – every mili second counts
Wake up at 645!
Close all the apps on your phone
Set it to wifi or cellular whichever one was quicker in step 3
Open My Disney Experience and sign in.
Go to virtual queues, from the burger bar page (the 3 line icon on the far right of the home page) click virtual queues (left hand side, 4th tile down)
Press the plus sign and choose your park, then select the queue
Confirm your party
Put the world clock on your second device, making sure you set it to Miami or Orlando. I use time.is/
Sit and wait, mobile device in one hand and world clock in the other – do not get distracted
When you reach 659 and 20 seconds, start counting down.
On the dot of 7am, click join refresh, then join queue then yes
You’ll get an allocated arrival time.
Note this works for all the parks from 7am and you can be anywhere. Similar approach works at 1pm but you have to be in the parks and at 6pm for Extra Magic Hours where you are staying at a deluxe resort. You don’t need to be in the park for this one.
