7) Enjoy every moment of your vacation because in 10 days you will be back at work dealing with those co-workers and they will be pissed that you can afford to go Disney. Then those same co-workers will spend 20 minutes explaining to you why they cannot afford a Disney vacation while holding their $5 twice per day Mocha Frappinco, half-foam, half-cap, skim latte from overprice CoffeeBucks!
Very good point! Don't be that family that everyone around you can't even tell if you are together because you are not even looking at each other much less talking to each other.I learned a few things. I learned that I do not need to have a sit down dinner everyday as it had us rushing way too much. I learned that I don't even mind it when it rains everyday because when your in Disney you are happy no matter what. I learned that even waiting in long lines is a chance to talk to my kids and laugh with them. The most important thing I learned ..........
I love Disneyworld and I can't wait to get back there. You can never replace the memories we made and I will cherish them forever!
I thought the same thing before our trip last year. It ends up being more food than you think because each person gets an appetizer, entree, and dessert. At home we usually share appetizers and dessert, so you get really full!My question is more for my own personal knowledge for next trip.
After reading the description of the DDP it doesn't seem like much food. But, I have seen many posts that mention the enormous amount of food they got and even had to throw some away. The description says 1 dinner, 1 counter and 1 snack. Doesn't "sound" like much but ofcourse I'm big eater. Am I missing something?
NEVER NEVER NEVER to go again during POP WARNER! The crowds were CRAZY and the consant cheering!!! UGGGG
We learned that staying onsite is definitely not for us! We had read so much on these forums about how much better it is to stay onsite that this past trip we decided to conduct a little experiment and split our vacation in half with half our vacation spent offsite and half at the Coronado Springs.
We found that we used none of the amenities you pay extra for when staying onsite and as a result we spent an extra $80/night for nothing more than a smaller, dirtier room. Our offsite hotel had much larger and cleaner rooms and had a free continental breakfast to boot. We were within 10 minutes of any of the parks and with the Top 7 Must Sees playing on our tv when we got back to our room to sort our souveniers and plan our next day we didn't feel as is we were missing any "Disney magic".
Granted we didn't have Mickey Mouse on the bathroom soap wrappers but we didn't feel that in itself was worth the extra $80 per night.
