So I used to wonder about all you guys out there that have done schedules, spread sheets and spent months planning your trips..I would book, spend a couple hours (at most) on ADR and then move on..well this year, not a chance..I have become a spread addict ( I am still looking for a support group)..my husband and father are constantly getting updates or new spread sheets..i have one for the days, one for the restaurants, one for the shows at all the parks..man the list goes on...and now I laugh at myself and wonder why I never did this before...hee hee hee:drevil:

now dont kill me on the topic, but are the spreadsheets really necessary? i almost decided to make one, but after seeing a sample, the impression that i came away with was it was just too detailed....example: do i really need to put down what ill be doing at 945 am? now it could be just that one example i looked at so if anyone wants to send me one that doesnt detail every minute please do.... yankees.80@hotmail.com
i just like choosing my park based on EMH's, doing my adr's and usually hitting every park in a clockwise pattern...adventure land first and ending in tom. land at night ( cause the atmosphere with the neon lights etc....)

I sent you a copy of mine..it's not too detailed, but enough to keep us on track..

I don't actually set up a spread sheet. My trip itinerary is always a word document that basically breaks down our days with which park we will be in and our ADRs for the day. Pretty simple but it's a must for us. It's nice to have it down on paper in order, everyone in our travel party always appreciates these.

I have never made a spreadsheet or anything like that. I guess because I dont have kids and I go to Disney at least 9 times a year I dont need them. Im never on the DDP because im an annual passholder and its not worth it to me. But I could see how everyone who does make the sheets have the DDP with there ADR's and have kids. Plus your there for a week on out and I could see how ideal planning would make things more enjoyable. Maybe when my husband and I finally have kids it will be a different story.........
