What do you practice/run through before Disney?

[AngieWin]

It's not our first trip, but it will be our longest at 15 days (2 different resorts both offsite). For our July trip the kids will be 13, 12, 4 and just under 2. What should I practice or get the kids ready for before we go? We will be sleeping in different beds, walking/riding in the stroller at length, etc. What do you practice/run through before your trip?

I need to go through the "what should you do if you cant find mommy/daddy" with my 4 year old(and the big kids too!), but I wear the 1 year old in a sling if he is not in the stroller so I hope that wont be an issue

And if we are practicing walking more to get our legs ready (so we arent as tired come July), should we wear the shoes we will wear this summer so we know they will work for us? Still doubting my crocs just a bit.

Ok, I think I might be overplanning/overthinking this trip now!!

Anything else I am forgetting?

I have a fastpass machine in my room I practise every night on getting my 3 before the machine malfuctions.


But yes the talk is a good one . I always told DD that she should go to the person working the cash register in the closest store and have them call from your Tag. We always had a Dogtag with our info on it (nice Tink one from AK).

Yes walking in the shoes you would take is a great idea. Remember I think the average is 10 miles a day .DD and I averaged 14 on our last trip but we did a lot of walking and coverage each day.

We set up dining room chairs and practice the proper loading and unloading at Space Mountain, then we reorganize and practice BTMRR.

On a serious side our kids know and we remind them to find a CM with a name badge. Our oldest walked away from a group once, quickly found a park attendant but the staff were about 2 steps behind him. Good plan for the kids.

We play the Magic Kingdom game, you win by getting to your five attractions first and getting to the exit. Yes, this is a real board game, I'm not making that up. :rofl:

Seriously though, practice what would happen if you're separated. My son who was 6 1/2 last year got accidentally separated from me at Knoebles due to the darkness in that park. Luckily he knew what to do.
