I'm going with family members who do not like to plan - want to do things on the fly and be spontaneous. Arghhhh!!!!!!! Kidding me? Week before Christmas and don't want to do dining reservations? What are they - nuts??? The parks are going to be crowded! I like to plan which parks for which days, and then do dining reservations for lunch and dinner; after that, be spontaneous in selecting which rides...

goosfrahbah, goosfrahbah....
What I always do is make ADR's for the whole group anyway. Imagine the 'spontaneous' peoples' surprise when they show up and can't get a table anywhere....then you step in and say that you have everything planned. As for park touring plans agree to let the 'spontaneous' people have control during your first day...then you take the second day with a real plan. I guarantee when they see how much they get done compared to the 'spontaneous' day, they will be on the planning ahead bandwagon!

Partially! We have the luggage down already, and some things are already set aside ready to be packed! The only reason we don't have more things ready is because we have a big four-day family reunion thing going next week, and we are responsible for a lot of what is going to take place there. So we have been extremely busy with all that, and Disney packing and prep is taking a back seat for now. But after next weekend... LOOK OUT!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

2 weeks left and we have our luggage out. I am easy to pack but the DW needs to meticulously plan her wardrobe. We are full on in Disney Mode. Also, we just snuck in another ADR yesterday for the Plaza.

Making online ADR's are fun :D
