Just DH, DD and myself. First time for all of us (well, except for like once when I was a kid, in a hurricane).If this is your first time going then yes, you are right on track for being overwhelmed and second-guessing. Totally normal! You want to be able to see everything in your short stay.
If you are spending the money on the Savannah View, make sure you spend a little time in your room to enjoy the view. Who else is going with you besides your DD13?
First, you have to figure out what is most important to everyone in your party. Ask each person the top a few things they want to do. You might not be able to hit all the rides and do 2 sit downs a day, all the shows and enjoy your room. Figure out the most important rides for everyone.
Do you know about allears.net menus? They have detailed menus. The schedule is out for parades, fireworks and extra magic hours so check out your dates and plan accordingly.
Good luck! You are going to have so much fun
Plan is to do just one TS and one QS each day.
Problem is we haven't told DD yet. She can't keep a secret to save her life, and we have two younger foster children, who we are planning as if they will not be here come December. Anyway, if we start talking about this trip, it'll make them NUTS, so as of right now, she can't know, which means she can't help me plan things. We're in a pickle if the kids ARE still with us come December, but I really, really don't think they will be. In any event, can't ask for her input at this stage. Hopefully before FP opens up....
I think we will be an equal split between experience, rides, shows and food.
I will check out allears.net. Thanks so much for all the help!
I didn't think I was going to drink this DW kool-aid. But only a month into researching, I can totally see why people do this trip multiple times, yearly, etc. There is just so much to do.
