I was wondering how many ppl, of Any made itineraries or plans?! I have one made for MK. Not the rest though. Should I just go with the flow or make a rough plan?

I made a plan for rope drop each day, then playing it by ear for the afternoon/evenings. I've changed things a little since then, but here is my PTR. There are some really great suggestions to my plans on here:

You'll find that there are people on disBoards that have detailed plans for every minute of every day.

You'll also find people that make very few plans.

Personally, I like to make one ADR for around 11am each day. (That requires picking a park for each day.). Then, the rest of the day is left unplanned. It means we're sure to get one sit down meal per day but never feel rushed or constrained.

If you're not familiar with a park, you should have, at least, rough plans or you'll wind up spending the day waiting in lines.

If you look at the Attractions thread you'll see an incredible set of discussions about plans.

this is what we do too. We made an add for everyday, pick a park, and the rest we make up as we go along. Don't plan time to get there, dont need any stress on vacation and dont plan on fireworks, just decide along the way

Sitting at my desk at work knowing that I have NOTHING in a suitcase yet. Have toiletries packed and none and the kids clothes have been sorted through....but we leave at 6am sat. Which means car needs packed Friday.

I hope ur headache goes away soon!

Thanks.

I think we are going to do kind of the same. We have one ADR each night - dinner though. Last time we went we were *clueless* on where to go/what to do. We wasted time trying to figure it out. A rough plan is a good Idea!

I use ridemax to make my plans so we have every minute planned for!

11 more days. I can’t believe that we’re this close. I alternate between being super excited and super nervous that I haven’t planned enough.

I work full time. We have soccer or baseball every night of the week. I’m also going to Michigan with my girl friends this weekend. I’m going to have to kick it into high gear and make my nights after the kids go to bed really count!

This past weekend I bought myself some shorts. I’ve ordered some clothes for dd from Walmart and the Disney Store. I think once those come then I can get started with packing up the clothes for everyone.

I’ve decided not to bring our beach towels and just use extra room towels instead.

I need to buy our breakfast type stuff to pack that in our suitcases.

AHHHHHHH! I’m SO excited!!!!

same here except with TP, lol. I'm not a stickler for following it to a tee though, I like to have a general idea of what time we'll be where and when we need to pull FPs

Just found out that this is happening while we're in WDW and that we had no plans set for that morning. My first Disney special event of sorts!

Plus, Joe Rohde is going to be there. HOLY CARPSICLES.

 

[cjsmama]

I made a TP for each day of our visit but I am still nervous about lines, especially since we have never been there before.

 

[momtwoboys]

I'll be checking into POR by this time on Friday!!!!!! maybe even earlier?

I just TODAY decided to make a touring plan. Ummm...guess I am a little late on that idea...17 hours til takeoff

 

[lacetea]

I have booked a trip at the end of April for WDW and I'm very excited! It will be my first time there and I'll also be having my 20th birthday there! The only nervousness I have is that I'll be going alone but I'm a very independent person so it's not something I worry about.
