Kids in charge of trip this time!!

Well it's official!! We are heading down to WDW for the ever crowded President's weekend!! My DH needs to visit his Florida clients (he is a financial planner), so he'll fly down the begining of the week and we will drive down and meet him at the end of the week. Having two past cast members as parents, my DS (16) and DD (14) have been to WDW every year since they were born until just recently. (Their last trip to WDW was in 2001 before our Disney cruise, and last year we headed out to Disneyland.) So, my kids know a thing or two about this place! We've decided that for this quickie trip, they are going to be in charge - where we stay, what PS we make - EVERYTHING!! I can't WAIT to see what they come up with (they ARE part Tour Guide on their mother's side!! )! We tell them all about it tonight at dinner!! I'll keep you posted on the "TEEN ITINERARY!"

Mine was: "Thank you for calling Disney's Ft. Wilderness Resort, this is ...., How may I help you??"

I can't wait to see how this unfolds. I bet it will be great :c)

If I let mine do it, they would argue about every little detail...

We're hoping this will help keep down the constant bickering. Their favorite pastime is driving each other crazy!

Re: Kids in charge of trip this time!!

That is definately a new twist on a WDW trip. I don't know if I would be able to let go of the planning cap, but applaud you for your trust and bravery in your children's choices. I can't wait to here about this trip. It's going to be cool to see what they pick.

Re: Kids in charge of trip this time!!

Disnyfan, this is also what I did with my teenagers. They've planned everything almost (not the surprise dinner for my daughters 16th bday.) I think we've got a pretty good plan going too. Hope your's goes as well. Good luck!

Re: Kids in charge of trip this time!!

Okay, here is an update on my GREAT idea:

So we take the kids out to eat last night and tell them about our idea to go to WDW for President's weekend, and they are in charge of all that we do. My DD (14) lit up like a Christmas tree! I could see the wheels start spinning as she was already starting to plan. My DS (16) looked at my DH and I and said "That is the stupidest thing I have ever heard. I don't want to go there again. Can't we go somewhere else? Like Arizona?" Well, we just sort of sat there. After discussing it for a few minutes, we got tired of our DS looking at us like we were crazies who had escaped from the loony bin. so we just dropped the conversation and finished the rest of dinner in silence. Who is this kid? And where is the cute Disney loving boy that I raised? Where's the kid that at not quite a year old and barely speaking, saw Mickey Mouse for the first time and called him "Mee-Mee?" Maybe he will change his mind.
I'll keep you posted.
