Ok, so I know every family has a rule or two to follow while in Walt Disney World. My rules are simple, easy and effective, and I only have three!

Rule #1: absolutely NO complaining about crowds (I know there are 50 brazilians in the same bathroom...sorry)

Rule #2: absolutely positively NO complaining about costs (sure honey I'll buy another $3 water)

Rule #3: absolutely positively-under any circumstance- NO complaints of weather (I understand it's 1,000 degrees outside and the lady in front of me forgot to wear deodorant)

So there you have it, my rules of the road. Can't wait to hear yours!

Rule # 1. You must get your lazy butt up in time to make rope drop or you will be left behind.
Rule # 2. We can split up but we must stay in the same park.
Rule # 3. We are here to have fun so absolutely no fussing.
Rule # 4. If you bring something into the park be prepared to carry it all day.
Rule # 5. If you want to do something just let me know and I will work it in, but dont complain if we cant do it at that very moment.

I can't stand complaints about things that are obvious and affecting everyone...like heat, cold and crowds. So, that's out. I also don't deal we'll with complaints about rides. I ride Peter Pan for you, you can ride Figment for me.

And if it is time for a nap, sleep.

That's it.

Our kids are grown now but the only rule we had was that no one had to ride anything they didn't like, but they did have to wait in line with us. (Usually after the wait, they'd go ahead and ride it anyway)

And in the gift shop "look with your eyes not with your hands."

And be nice to mom and dad or you too could end up in Small World.....

A few rules we've come up with after some of our previous family vacations:

Rule #1: The girls are to stay with either myself, Uncle Jesse, or Uncle Joey at all times.

Rule #2: Michelle is NEVER to run off again & make us spend most of the episode looking for her.

Rule #3: No matter how much D.J. misses her boyfriend back home (Steve), she is not to pout at all times & hallucinate that she sees him.

Rule #4: Just because Michelle gets to be "Princess for the Day" does not mean she gets to boss around her sisters.

Rule #5: Kimmy Gibler needs to stay home!

Rule #6: A Clipboard of Fun is a necessary addition to any family vacation; Disney or non. It allows for time efficient planning & organization of your day.

Rule #7: Uncle Jesse is NEVER AGAIN to throw my clipboard of fun into the ocean!! :mad:

for those of us who didn't watch the show, is that stuff all taken from a "Full House Goes to Disney World" show or did you make it up?

I like the term "Clipboard of Fun." :)

1. If you want to go to WDW, then you do not complain about not being able to afford other things.
2. You (the wife) can have your day of going round the outlet shops, but it will be for one day only.
3. I don't care how tired you are, we will be doing Magic Hours at least twice during our trip.
4. When at WDW, NO counting down the days until we leave WDW and getting more miserable every day.
5. The last full day of our holiday will be spent getting round as much as WDW as possible.
6. We don't do bad weather. If it rains - we get wet. End of.
7. I have spent ages working out and programming our time in Orlando, we will stick to it and no arguements.
8. I take no responsibility for your luggage being overloaded. I will not pay duty or overweight airport fees.
9. The cost of lunch at Crystal Palace will be decided by winning score at Buzz Lightyear.
10. No complaining if we can't book a meal at Cinderella's Royal Table
11. No complaining about Brazilian Tour Groups. Thats my job.

The rules for my kids are the same at home.

#1 - ANY wall, corner, brick or spot on the street can and WILL be used for time out when necessary. Time out's apply even in Disney World.

#2 - Stay with me at ALL TIMES. If I move, you move. I say your name, you better come. Any violation will get you a time out. (yes, including my husband) ;)

#3 - NO complaining about rides. I rode Buzz Lightyear 3 times in a row for you, you can ride People Movers and like it. HAHA.

#4 - ABSOLUTELY UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES IS MY FIL ALLOWED BACK.

I do not have children but whenever I go to WDW, I tell people there are two rules.

1) Walk with purpose. The only time this rule is allowed to be broken is when we are walking toward the exit.

2) When stopping, move to the side of the walkway. This common courtesy is apparently not so common. Nothing is more frustrating than when the person in front of you randomly decides to stop, thus causing a traffic jam. I have been known to give a look of disdain & shout "Rule #2" at people when they do this, much to their confusion

Rule #1- Absolutely No Complaining About the trip choices I've made. While I REALLY enjoy planning the details- big and small- it's hard enough when a resort or restaurant doesn't live up to my expectations- let alone having to hear everyone else bash my choices.

Rule #2- We all have our must do attractions, but we must also always "stop and smell the roses" daily.

Rule #3- We will be up super early and "home" very late each and every day...so use your daily break wisely so you can recharge your batteries...figuratively and literally (after last trip's camera battery disaster).

Rule #4- We are all allowed to be 'kids' once we pass through those gates...so, while we have certain adult responsibilities- it is perfectly acceptable for said adults to be giddy about meeting a favorite character, gush over the castle, sing - dance - clap along if it's part of a show or event, and allow youself to be caught up in the magic.

I'm sure there's more, but this is what I've got so far.

I will be at parks at park opening. I will teach you the transportation system. If you are not ready to leave when I am, you can get yourself to the park and meet up with me.
