Planning Update
We traveled over the Holidays to spend time with our families, which for my family meant there was lots of time for Disney planning! This month, I used the Touring Plan Spreadsheet to loosely plan what each day would look like. I compared it to the rest of my family’s plans and I feel like I have a pretty good idea of where we will spend each day.
It’s important to begin to nail down the days because we are inching closer and closer to the ’60 Day’ mark, which those staying on property (like us) are able to book their 3 FastPasses per day!
One thing my daughter got for Christmas that I am thrilled to travel with this summer is a Trunki. Have you heard of these? They are a hard-shell carry on designed for kids. My favorite part is the wheels and strap, which allow my toddler to ride it through the airport.
When we take it to Disney, it will be both a practical suitcase and a riding toy for the hotel room. Genius!
