More airline fees, but they say you'll like these (really?)

Came across this article today: Airlines promise return to civility, for a fee. The article covers a variety of new pay-for-service options airlines are offering such as bypassing the baggage carousel or renting iPads or extra legroom (which on most airlines these days is already an additional cost). It appears most of these new services are aimed at the business traveler but the skipping the baggage carousel and having the bags delivered to your final destination seems to be a good option for parents who are already traveling with strollers, car seats, etc.

The Disney Experience app

If you are heading to Disney World, the article referenced in this post recommended using the My Disney Experience app. I've linked to the Android version but I'm sure you can find the app in the iTunes store as well. Note that it's absolutely free and provides lots of useful information for your visit including maps and more importantly, wait times and FASTPASS information.
