I generally start planning everything in minute detail about four weeks before we leave...make lists of time we arrive, approx time we arrive at hotel, approx time then we arrive at park, what we'll do first, what we'll do second, what we'll do third, fourth, fifth etc etc, where we'll eat, what we'll eat(!), what time we'll head back to the hotel, and on and on and on and on!!! Then I get to the airport, forget all the lists and try to do everything at once! My daughter has refused to do any more lists with me as she knows I'll forget about them as soon as I get there. Last August we had dinner reservations made in advance for each of the five nights we were there, and it drove me mad to be honest...much as I love making hte lists and planning, I love to just do what feels right at the time while I'm there....only another 15 days now!
