Schedule of reservations

PrincessFan · 10-19-2007

Okay, I need some advice. We are heading down to Disney in Feb 2008 for a Thursday to Monday Princess Weekend - its my mom and my daughter and me! Very exciting.

Here's what we have planned.

Thursday - Fantasmic and Dinner
Friday - Boutique and Cinderella's Castle Breakfast (at 10am)
Saturday - Pirates/Princess Party

Here's my question. . . do I book more and have it completely planned out or do I follow my dd's instincts when we are there and let her choose on a whim.

We were just there last year and will go again with DH and DS in fall 2008.

I just don't want to be too scheduled that she feels like I am dragging her everywhere. . .

To me, having the ADR's is a must. With the DDP, ADR's go fast, and it also limits your being able to just do a walk in. You can always cancel them, should you decide you would rather do something else.

PrincessFan · 10-19-2007

Thanks. But not doing the DDP. Would that make a difference?

Daisee · 10-19-2007

No not at all.. I have not used the DDP. We have been making ADR's for years. THey used to call it Priority Seating.

Thank you!!

Any suggestions for other bookings would be great!!

I think what you have planned is great....I personally like to have only one planned thing a day. Make the rest up as you go, it's a vacation after all.

With a short, fun trip like that, I wouldn't plan anymore. Let your DD be your guide and just have fun with it.
