On my last trip to DL in January 2014, DAS return times were issued on the little paper card. I understand that return times are now scanned onto your pass and in WDW they will be on the magic band.
We are travelling to DL for 2 days in Feb and then to WDW for 2 weeks. It will be our first trip to Florida and I have no experience with the magic band.
How do you keep track of return times? We don't take our phones to DL as there is no WiFi and data plans are too expensive.(we are from Canada)

You can either jot it down on a piece of paper or use the note app on your phone (no data or wifi needed!). Another option that we used was to set an alarm on my phone for the return time.

There is free wifi in WDW all over so you can bring your phone to use. We take the old fashioned approach and write it all down on a piece of paper.

My dh takes a show schedule and writes the times on it, before he did that he showed up at TOT an hour early etc.

We take a screenshot of our phone to capture all the Fastpass Plus times. The CMs will reportedly be using iPads, do you could take a photo of the iPad screen with with a comers or phone camera.

Great ideas. I only have two days in DL so it won't be too bad to write them down. WDW.....hoo....that is a big black hole of planning right now.

I won't have a smartphone, so I'll bring a small paper and "bowling alley-size" pencil. OOPs, no more pencils at bowling alleys, either. DD29 will have her smartphone, but I've planned the trip and MDE lists some things she's going to be surprised by that I need to keep secret until the Big Reveal during our trip. LOL
