Disney without kids is awesome, but once your kids get older, they'll probably prefer relaxed Disney too Our trips are very different from what they used to be! And when the kids are old enough, you can let them go to a nearby park alone if they have extra energy to burn...it's really nice (FYI, my kids are 16 and 11...they'll be 17 and 12 this fall...and I just started letting them go to parks alone last fall...and it was just to MK from GF. When we're at BC, I'll let them go to Epcot and HS, even though they could probably go to any of them now, especially since my older daughter looks like she's 21!)
Yes! Last year we were pretty turbo (although I never planned an early morning after late night) and while it was tons of fun we all wished for more down time at end of trip. My 17 year old daughter looks older too (she is 6'1" and 132# so she is also asked constantly if she models or plays basketball. May get her a button that says: "weather is fine-no sports-don't do heels")
This year - since staying onsite for first week-YAY!- I've planned for much more relaxed touring: Early am at park, lunch/pool, evening with FP+; The only "commando days" are going to be our Star wars days-but since staying at BC for that part we can still take a break if needed.
27 days til Disney, 31 til SWW and BC!!!
