I'm sure everyone has their own methods of keeping track, but I'll tell you what has worked for me. 
First, I pick up a couple of those slim, pocket-sized travel journal from the bookstore. I keep one with me at all times and jot down little notes throughout the trip. There are lots of opportunities to do this: at the airport, on the plane, when riding the Disney buses, when waiting in an attraction queue, and of course, back in your room when you take a break or before going out for the evening. If you're not too tired, you can even scribble down a few notes before bed.
I find that this is the most effective way, if you wait until bedtime every night, you will be tired and you may not remember a lot of the details and time sequences. It also helps to ask your travel companions for input when writing your little notes; sometimes they remember funny little things or important details that you may have forgotten!
I happen to make a detailed touring itinerary for my trip, and that helps me remember time sequences as well.
Since you mentioned that you do not like to make a lot of "formal" plans, perhaps you could use your digital pictures to help you remember your time sequences!
When I get home, I like to write out my posts on Word before I actually post them on my thread. If I try to write as I post, I tend to "time out", which is annoying!
And that concludes today's lesson on Kathy's Trippie Tips!!

I love itineraries and have multiple copies all over my house. I have one in the restroom for potty reading(was that 
So those itineraries will definitely assist in the note taking process as well as the digital pictures.
I love seeing people from our neck of the woods in Dis Board land 
I can't wait to see and read more. If you Pre-Trip report is this hysterical, I can't wait for your trip report!!
2, 3, 4 crazy heads are better than one.
You dining ressies look great! Dropped calls are SO annoying!
The memorial service was actually a celebration of my aunt's life. While still a bit sad, it was a funny, joyous, love filled service. I feel so lucky to be in such a great and close family.
