How did DVC ownership change your trips?

[PlutoNotPlanet]

It became an actual vacation and not a test do everything possible while pushing our kids to over exhaustion. No more FOMO on the flight home.

I need help with the FOMO of the parks still.

I haven’t figured it out yet either. I keep saying I will then I don’t.

I feel the key is DVC+AP or DVC+AP+LL lol

Every visit: “I’m not buying lightning lanes this trip!”

Then every visit, I buy lightning lanes anyway 7 days before.

I can’t break the LLMP cycle. It doesn’t matter whether I need it, I must have it!

Ok. I think after this trip I’ve decided I will still book LLMP. It’s useful. And I love saving the time. But I don’t need to be in a park all day, and I really could spend every other day as a resort day and be perfectly happy!

I think my happy spot is doing less, but doing the rides I most love, and doing some of the chill activities in between. For example…at Epcot, I get in Guardians, Soarin’ and Living with the Land and I’m good to go. The rest of the time I can explore countries. Or go back to my room and drink some good coffee on my deck or hang out in a hot tub. Take a day off the next day. Rinse and repeat.

My kids still want to do parks every day. And we can do that. But my spouse and I can definitely enjoy some chill time to relax, too.

I agree, you can knock out the parks very quickly and have time to relax and/or park hop.
