Have You Ever Had a Pre-Disney Planning Party....

[MEK]

Well, it won't be a party, exactly. I am inviting my GF over tommorrow night to go over the details for our upcoming trip. We just made our final payment today and we will be staying at POP from 8/28 - 9/3. When I told her I was going back with my kids for the free dining, she expressed interest and now all 6 of us our going (2 moms and 4 boys -13,13, 11, 11). We are leaving the DH's at home. We are flying down from BWI and returning together.

So tommorow we will review our dining reservations, look at my pictures from last year's trip and look at the planning video. I am the primary planner, so I feel a lot of pressure to make sure things go smooth. I am a little nervous about traveling with another family. I'm not good at being on my best behavior 24/7, but being at the world generally mellows me out.

This trip will be great for my 13 year old because he has a friend to hand out with. I'm a little worried about my GF's younger son. He is very afraid of thrill rides. I know my GF will sit out with him, but it interrupts the flow of things a little. Has anyone else traveled with their GF and kids - any advice?????

We have ADR's at Coral Reef, Donald's Breakfastaurous, Mama Melrose, Crystal Palace, Le Cellier, & Whispering Canyon. We plan on 4 fulls days in the park, 2 water parks, and 1 half day at the park.

Your kids are gonna LOVE Whispering Canyons!!! It's a ROWDY experience.

Dont be stressed about planning...It's DISNEY! You would have to try hard to screw it up.

Have a BLAST!

No but it sounds like a good idea.

I did, once. My kids and my daughter's husband STILL tease me about it. As a goof, the kids brought their pillows and took a snooze during the meeting. Needless to say, that was the one and only planning meeting. We still laugh about it.
