FAMILIES FLY FREE Private Podcast

During November's Live Q&A, members asked:

-If they should get travel insurance
-If they can fly Iberia to Spain instead of Aer Lingus and get the same deal and do they need to get an Iberia credit card
Current Aer Lingus offer
-If you can buy Southwest points with a gift card
-The new Swan Reserve hotel at Disney World
-And more!

Here is my final report from our 4-day trip to Disney World, trying Genie+. This is a must-listen for anyone headed to Disney World or Disneyland in the next year. I'm working on additional resources for you like strategy sheets for each park and a mini-online course, so stay tuned!

In today's episode, I share how Genie+ was an entirely different "animal" at Animal Kingdom :), whether you do or do not need individual Lightning Lanes for Pandora Flight of Passage and Everest, my recap on the Very Merriest After Hours Party at Magic Kingdom and if it was worth it and finally, my overall thoughts on Genie+ after using it for 4 straight days.

More lessons learned with Genie+, as well as my review of Liberty Tree Tavern (yummy!!) and the new Epcot fireworks show.

A quick update on how our Genie+ experience went after Day 2 at Epcot.

A quick update on how our Genie+ experience went after Day 1 at Hollywood Studios - I already messed it up! :)

Take a quick listen to this short update before you head out on your Thanksgiving travels and if you're interested in the new Disney Genie+ replacement for FastPass, I give you a quick update as we head to Disney World this week. Apologies for the popping audio!

Lyn answers numerous members' questions on travel insurance, explains why her family just purchased an annual travel insurance policy, shares the order in which people are checked in on Southwest (Business, A-List, Early Bird, regular), and more! 

If you're looking for affordable, spacious accommodations for families, look no further than KOA resorts and resorts like YMCA of the Rockies. These are not just for campers anymore! Cami, who has stayed at two YMCA of the Rockies resorts in the last year, and Families Fly Free member Heather, who recently had a great experience at a KOA, explain the ins and outs of these resorts and why you should consider them for your next family trip.

To most effectively use Chase Ultimate Rewards points, you need to know how to transfer points to other travel programs—hotels and airlines, combine points with individuals in the same household like spouses, and how to use these points across different Chase Ultimate Rewards-earning cards. Cami explains it all along with why you need to be sure you do something with these points if you ever plan to cancel one of your Ultimate Rewards earning cards.
