If you’re worried about wearing your mom out, then I would suggest changing your attitude towards the trip. Think of this as a trip where you spend time with your mom and y’all happen to be at WDW. If you think about it that way then your approach to planning will change and hopefully you will be less stressed.
You are overly presumptuous.
I am not worried about wearing my mom out, and I do not need to adjust my attitude. My attitude is that I know my mom is getting older and we won’t get to do many more trips together; I want her to have an amazing time.
I am not like some people who never see their moms or who only visit them a few times of year. I live with her. So, I know her very well, and I know what she likes and doesn’t like. I’ve planned several trips for us in the past, and she’s liked them all.
I just get stressed partly because I know this will probably be our last big trip together and partly because I want it to be perfect for her—not perfect, perfect for HER.
An earlier poster mentioned scheduling breaks which we always do anyway. We are not go, go, go people. We are tortoises not hares, and we are ok with that. We know how to enjoy small things.
I did not start this post to be lectured about my attitude or how to treat my mother.
I was merely expressing some mixed feelings I have about using a
travel agent. I gave SOME information about my situation for context.
