I love to plan, but remember to leave flexibility. We just got back from Disney. We took 6 of our children with us ranging in age from 13 to 4. We had so much fun! It didn't go exactly as I'd planned, but that was the beauty of it. When we got to a ride that had a long wait, we decided to skip it and try to come back later. We made it back to everything except Peter Pan in the MK. At 6pm we knew we only had one hour left. I read the list to the kids of what there was to do, and asked them out of that, to choose 2 things. All of them wanted to do the haunted mansion, so we ran off to that first. Then the 3 older ones wanted to do Alien Encounters, so my dh took them to that and I took the younger set to the Indy Cars. That had not been on my original list of rides to hit, so I knew that I hadn't checked the height requirement. When we got to the front and the guy said my 8yo wasn't tall enough, my heart sank. It was the last ride of the night and I didn't want him to leave without riding one last thing! Luckily, being the accomodating people they are at Disney, the guy said, "Would you like a cast member to ride with him?" I could have kissed the guy! Problem solved! We all went home happy that night! But...I was so tired I forgot to plug in the video camera to recharge. It lost power about half way thru Epcot!
So remember to charge the batteries at night...and remember to be flexible...and always ask the cast members if they have suggestions to solve your problems!
