We went to Disney last summer and we did it commando style. Imagine that with DH, 3 boys aged 8, 6 and 3 at the time and me, plus my diabetic mother who will be 62 this year. It was a do everything, see everything vacation and it was exhausting!! Despite my intensive planning, I still didn't have everything as well planned as I thought. Plus kids have a tendency to ruin your plans by requesting to do things on days you didn't plan to!!
So after buying into DVC last summer, we decided to try it all again this summer, with the same cast of characters!! This year, it's supposed to be a more relaxing vacation, with more down time. We know what we want to see again, what we missed and what we can skip this year. We're doing the dining plan, so we're planning more sit-down meals. We're planning resort and pool days. I'm getting a pedicure, no matter what!!
And yet I have even more planning to do!! Planning all those meals and relaxing days has required even more thought and pre-planning on my part. Last night, I couldn't sleep, because I was once again going over my ADRs in my head. We had a change of dates on the vacation because of Southwest. We had planned to drive, but now we're flying!!
I'm so very excited about not spending 20 something hours in the car with 3 boys!! But I had to change dates and resorts and ADRs!! Actually, when i changed my ADRs for the last time (yeah, right), I felt a weight lifted off my shoulders, but I'm still not done. I need to plan park itineraries. I need to make packing lists. I'm sure that there are things I need to buy.
And I don't even have any lime green mickey heads!! I think I need help!
65 days to go!
