What else do I need to do??

[smellyann]

Okay, this is what I've got done:

- Air travel is booked
- Resort is booked (Coronado)
- Got the whole tickets, dining plan etc, that I wanted
- Reserved meals for dining plan restaurants, one for each day
- Planned out a THOROUGH 'preschooler' activity plan for each of our four days at the parks
- Bought and received tickets for Mickey's NSS Halloween Party (we'll be there late October)

Now what??? Is there something else to plan in advance that I'm blanking on? Ahhhhh!

Search and Learn from these boards all of the helpful tips out there!! Such as:
1)Bring your own stroller and mark it with some sort of bandana or ribbon to find it easily in stroller parking. Also bring a large garbage bag or stroller cover for rain.
2) Make some sort of ID tag for your little ones that has name, resort info and your name and cell phone.
3) Bring an extra pair of shoes for each member of your family for the parks. Not necessarily take them in the parks with you but it's amazing what a "new" pair of shoes will do for your feet if you switch off days.
3)Go back to your resort for a mid-day rest if appropriate for your family.
4)Wear sunscreen....yes, even in October.
5) Have Fun!! and don't be too hung up on a "schedule" go with the flow and let the Magic lead your way!!!!

It looks like you have everything pretty much covered. If you don't gave a guide book I would suggest getting one. They have several on the market. It's fun reading on the ride down (plane or car) and for a quick reference while you are in your hotel room planning the next day. Have fun.

Just don't use that option.

Use "Post Reply".

I would suggest getting to know the parks alittle bit so your not lost and overwhelmed when you get there. You can download the park maps and/or buy a guidebook. Also, be sure to slow down and smell the roses and have a relaxing chill day. Don't get me wrong the parks are awesome but some of the best memories I have are the unexpected ones!

Judging by the name, the next thing you should do is shower!
