do you plan for disney or just make it up?

[jojo]

just curious

Do you plan everything down to the minute or do you just make it up as you go along?

it's way harder now with the dining plan to get a table though right? so its harder to just go somewhere

If you plan how do you plan? do you just list everything on a spreadsheet or what?

i plan to a certain extent. but one thing im not keen on is the dining plan even tho ive never stayed onsite. i dont want to be somewhere at a certain time or place i prefer to wing it everyday. just wake up think, where do i want to go today, then decide. works for me

[daveann]

have done both but i prefer to wing it and i hate having to choose where i eat 90 days out so unless i am desperate to eat somewhere just eat offsite.

we really try not to overplan because it feels like work or a military exercise but its getting harder to eat at disney without booking 180 days out

I`m with the majority in that I hate working to a rigid timetable but thanks to those pesky dining plans it is essential to make ADR`s for those "must do" restaurants for dinner.
I therefore prepare a spreadsheet for our trips and enter the details of our ADR`s which are the only items that are "cast in stone".

Apart from that I work on a day to day basis taking each day as it comes and going wherever we fancy at the time.

I usualy have a good idea before i go but often change my mind

[Isafari]

Oh, I plan plan plan!
I know where we will be each day and where we'll be eating. Saying this, if we don't feel like a meal and we have an ADR, I'll cancel and go for a hotdog instead

I plan the parks so that we don't visit during Extra Magic Hours or, for Hollywood Studios, I plan on a day when Fantasmic ISN'T showing so that the park isn't as crowded. We then go to Hollywood Studios just for Fantasmic and that's usually after a full day at Animal Kingdom which closes before the other parks.

I do try to leave a couple of days blank so that if we were to miss any attraction/parade/show because of bad weather etc, then I have time to go and revisit.

We have a general idea of what we want to do on a given day. If we really want to eat in a particular place we'll make an ADR and then plan our day around that meal.

[wdwgrandma]

I'm a planner. Oh, not down to the last detail, but we do decide on meals and activities well in advance.

We do the same, the only thing we plan is dinner!
