What I`ll do differently next time.......

[Merylj]

I`ve spent the last hour choosing our photopass pictures - next time I`ll get loads more (only had 36) and get the photopass CD.
I`ll also pack for very hot weather even when I expect it to be cooler.
And take another empty suitcase even though I am not going shopping!

Anyone else?

I always say I'll do less in the parks & relax more - but I never seem to get round to doing it!

That's what DD and I reckon we're going to do in May - we'll see...

Next time we go as a family (August 2009) I'd like to try staying in a really nice villa for part of the holiday...

Would like to make it to Mall at Millenia - finally!

I'm sure there's plenty of other things I'd tweak - I just love always having a reason to return...

Funny you should say that.

I am determined to do that this time - this will be the first time I dont have to carry nappies and wipes etc which will make life easier as the kids will be 6 and 8

This will be our 13th trip and still panic we wont have time to do everything - I really need to take a chill pill

Not worry about how many days I have left,as soon as i get there

 

[wideeyes]

Save the money I spend on clothes in the UK and do my clothes shopping in Orlando. (Cheaper, more fun, better range,)

Spread ADRs out a bit more, not to book eveing meals for everyday, allows abit more freedom in the eveing.

Don't spend over $100 on figures for DD that are now all lost around the house.

Watch Blue Horizons at SeaWorld twice - once to just watch, and once to take video & pictures.

 

[minnieeaves]

Make more ADRs, last time we were there we din't make may ADRs before the trip - we then decided we wanted to go to come restaurants but we were unable to get in when we wanted. We are going for Christmas 08 so even more important as it is going to be mega busy!!

DH won't go back until we have no nappies, wipes bags and buggys to haul around. When the girls were blue the day we arrived home in October two marks were put on the wall next to the fireplace in the family room to show the girls how tall they have to be before we return. Its the dining room too so it serves as a great incentive to them to eat their dinner!
We will def do a villa/WDW hotel mix and we def want to go early December to get the holiday vibe and MVMCP

DD and i were there in november for 9 days and practically stalked the photopass people....every time we saw one, we took a picture..

we had 172 by the end of the stay and almost all of them great - they certainly take much better photos than we do..

and if they turn out terrible, you haven't lost a penny....that is, unless you pre-order...
we didn't....we bought the CD on the last night of our stay (and got the 3 free prints)...

This is my aim as well although it is so hard not to look at summer clothes in the shops - I will be in Sheffield until two days before we go this year and as DS will only be swimming once or twice a day I will have lots of time on my hands for retail therapy - I MUST RESIST, I MUST RESIST

Pack less

 

[misskrystal]

I won't sit in the splash zone for Shamu again (once is enough ).

I'll make more effort to eat in restaurants, which means not filling up on Cheetos at the hotel. It took me days to de-orange my fingers last time

I'll 'forget' to bring any Star Wars books for Dbf. He wanted to stay in bed all day reading and I gave myself an ulcer worrying about the itinerary.

I'll take it easy on the itinerary watch.

 

[disneyholic family]

Pack less

i've gotten better and better at this, but there's still room for a lot of improvement...
my goal is to get down my clothing to what could actually fit in a carry on bag...that would be perfect....and would leave lots of room to SHOP!!!

Totally agree with those two It's always hard to know what to take in the 'winter' months..........and I ALWAYS say that I don't want to bring much back and ended up having to squeeeeeeze everything in

Also the whole point of our trip in February is to sit round the pool, enjoy the sun and to relax and unwind a bit...........however we have made a couple of ADRs, going to the P&PP, and I have printed off lists of all the opening hours and EMHs.....hmmmm....definitely a familiar pattern!!!
