Final Thoughts:
Organization made this trip wonderful and staying flexible about the schedule was just as important.
This was the speadsheet I had on my phone at all times.


I also had schedule like this for each day in a word document on my phone and on paper in my pocket for backup.
Had a minute by minute schedule, but only really worried about the fast passes and reservations,everything else on the schedule was a suggestion.
