Feeling a little overplanned........

[plgrn]

on a recent trip to wdw, i struck up a conversation with a lady while riding bus to DTD. She was from Vermont, traveling with DH, grown childen and grandchild. Anyway, they had no ressies for table service and had spent a lot of time on busses, trying to find a place to eat! They were tired and cranky. I don't know if this was a super picky family (foodwise) or what, but she certainlly regretted having no ressies.

The one thing that is great (I am a confessed overplanner!) is that at least you have an outline for your trip, you won't be standing around each day trying to figure out where you'll go. As far as the ADR's I think it's better to have them and if you don't think you're going to make it call and cancel. It's better to have those ADR's than cancel and wish you'd kept them. Have fun and go with the flow (according to your schedule of course! ) Oh and keep the Hoop De Doo we were there a week ago and we all loved it our 6 & 3 year olds clapped and laughed and actually ate.

I agree. Better to plan ahead and cancel reservations if you change your mind -- if you wait until you arrive, you might not get anything at all!

My stragegy is plan well, then be flexible and change things if you want. But be aware that some things cannot be canceled the day before or day of the reservations. We had reservations (prepaid) at the Aloha show at the Poly, and decided to try to cancel the morning of the dinner. they told us they could not cancel that close to the event, so we would lose our money. Turned out great for us, though - we went to the show and had a fabulous time!
