Ok! Would love some suggestions from folks who have taken multi-generational/multi-family trips.
I am tagging along with my brother and his family on an upcoming trip to WDW in September. 6 park days, staying onsite at Fort Wilderness. My brother + his wife + their two kids, my brother's in-laws, and me.
I am the solo adult, as my husband isn't a park guy. I'm very excited to tag along with my brother and co. Brother is working with a travel agent and taking care of all the big planning (ticket, park reservations, accommodations, restaurant reservations, etc). This is new for me, as I'm usually the planner for trips.
My brother is the kind of guy who needs to get his "money's worth" by riding all the rides from open to close. He has a big/intense personality and we occasionally clash. I really want to avoid causing conflict on this trip, and have decided to try and just relax and go with the flow. Let go of the need for control and enjoy the environment and experience.
Folks who have a similar family/group dynamic, how have you handled conflict resolution when some people are getting a bit intense and part of the group isnt into it? Would love any thoughts or suggestions for how to tackle this, or how you have handled things in the past.
