Hopefully i'm not the only one this has happened too. I've planned Disney trips before, with and without the DDP, a TS each night, or one TS for the whole trip, FP+ and before FP+, so i'm no stranger to planning. My problem is my last trip to Disney was in 2015, i have our next one booked at the WL in August 2018, and i don't know where to start with planning...I feel like it's my first trip
I apologize in advance if i ramble, these are all the thoughts running through my brain and i'm trying to get them out as concisely as possible
There's 3 of us myself, DD11, and DBF, this will be his first trip in 30 yrs (no exaggeration, the last time he was 11 lol). We're there the last week of August - 9 days, 8 nights, but i don't really count departure day so it's like 8 days. Hopefully getting in mid-afternoon, i want to get an early-ish flight out, on a Friday. We have 7 day park hoppers with a 1 day water park add-on. DD and I are used to the hustle and bustle of Disney, but DBF isn't and likes the laid back approach, which is great but i'm not sure how to plan to not plan and keep things relaxed. I also want to make sure this is a great trip since this will kinda be like his first visit.
I feel like so much has changed since 2015, i don't even know what's what anymore.
I originally wanted to do MNSSHP if it was being held, but am not sure because of the price. The one year i went it rained the whole night, so i missed out on everything.
I've looked at restaurants and i feel like i want to eat everywhere lol My motto used to be eh, if we don't get it this trip we'll get it next time and i think because it's been so long i feel like this will be my last trip for years (does that make sense). How do you guys narrow down the restaurants for your trip?
I want to see HDDR, eat at 'Ohana for dinner and breakfast, and Akershus for breakfast for sure. But then i'll see other places and think oh we need to eat there, because DD and i have eaten there and loved it, but he hasn't eaten there.
I feel like i don't even know where to start with any of it. Will the TP crowd levels change between now and then or are they pretty much set?
I hope this all makes sense.
Sooooo long story short (too late ) where do i start? What are our must-do's?
