In this episode the questions we cover are:

Many websites offer crowd calendars for free if that is important to you.

 - What is Magical Express?  Who can use it?
 - What are your thoughts for picking a resort (think pre and post DVC)?
 - What is My Disney Experience?
 - What are Magic Bands?
 - Do you book FP+ at 60 days?
 - What is FastPass+?
 - Do you book dining at 180 days?
