That's smart of you! Our only vacation with others was this last January, we took my parents and that was OK, we "paid" for the accomodations and the flight (frequent flyer miles). They paid for a lot of the dinners and we ate at some hoity toity places, well you read my dining review!
I made all the reservations because they had no idea of where to go and no desire to figure anything out! I asked them questions like, "Would you rather eat at Fulton's or Flying Fish?", my mom found the menus and she actually showed me that Disney had started to post copies of the menus online at their website. In the past I had recevied all my information from allears.net!
In the future we plan on taking some of our friends, one older friend that we plan to take in April 2012ish we will also make all the reservations and we'll get a 1 Br Villa at the AKV (it has two potties!). We'll also have to treat her for the most part as she is on a fixed income. Other than that, when we take friends, it will only be one couple at a time. We will get at 2 BR lock off (meaning that there are two entrances, we get a 1 Br and they get a studio, but they are linked) and we will make a couple dining reservations together and plan on maybe a couple dinners together in the room. Other than that, they will be on their own, unless they want to move at our slow pace!
