Last year (and really since 2017!!!) I planned something once-in-a-lifetime trip to WDW for my whole crew (me, DH, ODD, and YDD). I had ADRs, the perfect hotel room, all the FP, DAS, wheelchairs and strollers, princesses. You name it I had it planned...and the trip was a FLOP! DH said he had a good time, and I planned well, but ODD was grabbing strangers, melting down in lines, and not sleeping well and YDD begged me to get a babysitter and let her stay in the room!
The thing is, I really liked planning the trip. It was fun to know our itinerary (so type A) months in advance. I liked the rides, ease of finding food, hotel, people.
So DH and I have decided we just need to vacation separately while the other person stays home with ODD (she’s disabled, if you haven’t figured that out). He’s doing a week in July to a music program he’s interested in. I’m thinking of taking YDD back to the Poly for 3 nights!?!??
I thought we’d do one day at MK and the rest of the time swim and maybe some kind of kids camp for her? Is it crazy considering how much she whined the last time? Anybody taken a trip focused less on the parks and more in the resort amenities?
Anybody vacation with only one child? I feel guilty leaving my big girl at home, but she doesn’t understand travel and she’s getting too big for me to care for alone while keeping an eye on her sister.
I talked about other ideas we all could enjoy, but DH really wants to do his music thing, and he’s satisfied with that for trips thus year.
