Going to WDW in 2020. Will be joined by older relatives mid-trip. So they will be traveling alone. I want to make it easy for them so I’m looking for tips hoping to avoid potential “points of failure” on their journey.
They aren’t senile, but I could totally see any of the following things happening even though I will explain very clearly what they need to do many times before the trip.
-We didn’t have those wrist bands with us. When you said “keep them with you at all times from the moment you leave the house,” we just thought you meant once we got to Disney World.
-I know you said we don’t need to get our bags (we’re doing DME), but I decided I wanted to wear a different hat so we went to get our luggage and waited an hour and it never showed up!!
-I remember you said there’s a bus we can take, but we couldn’t find that so we just took a taxi.
-Told the taxi driver we were going to Disney World. But wasn’t sure what hotel we were staying in so he dropped us off at the (not our resort).
I’m thinking of making a notecard with instructions. Any ideas of what to include? Want to avoid any point where it might not be clear what to do next. Thanks!
