So the last time I did WDW with a friend was like, 8 years ago. Since then, I only go with my parents, extended family, or solo. I am the “planner” of the group, so I make reservations, purchasing tickets/hotels, literally everything. So basically everyone in my group doesn’t have to lift a finger.
I was supposed to do a solo trip next April, but my friends showed interest, so I figured why not make it a friend trip. But, my friends haven’t been to Disney as much as me. Maybe once or twice in their lifetime.
I think the biggest hurdle is money. Disney is an expensive vacation destination. I’m a budget Disney goer; but it’s still a lot. I could probably make it a little cheaper, but I like doing table service and stuff like that, instead of just eating chicken and fries everyday. I’m worried that they’ll want to do it “cheap” but Disney just isn’t cheap anymore. I made a spreadsheet with all the costs so maybe that will help?
I also am worried about the way I do parks. I get up at the crack of dawn, rope drop, and stay till park close. I take breaks midday. I just really like to maximize my time. Park tickets are insanely expensive, so I want to get my money’s worth. But I worry that my way of doing things it too intense for the less frequent park goer.
