One Little Spark...
Every vacation requires some form of planning, or it doesn’t.
That is a choice.
I remember planning a trip to DC for the kid a few years back, and I really wanted to take her to the top of the Washington Monument.
That required one of two things.
1, book tickets months (yes months) in advance
2, show up at 6a when the ticket booth opens to get their daily allotment for walk up tickets, which go very quickly
Disney isn’t much different.
Imho, you choose to make it a planned trip, or you don’t. A certain amount is needed for preplanning, but the stress is a choice, not a requirement.
I, for one, am literally (I am in the back of an Uber headed to the airport) on my way to a trip that I have barely planned. In fact, I gave it to the kiddo to plan what she wants to do on MDE.
No dining plan. Very limited ADRs. Not a whole lot of FPs (I didn’t even buy the tickets until last week, so completely missed the 30 day window).
So, if that means we wait for FoP, so be it.
I refuse to stress any longer.
But, to others it is fun. The planning and anticipation is part of the experience. And, to those people, I say, cheers! I get ya! You are made of better stuff than I!
