hi sharron

Just go with the flow, i dont do a planner as such i do so many park days and so many rest days,(this is when we go shopping or do the water parks or just chill by the pool). we usually decide the day before where we are going the next day.

the first day we usually go to walmart and stock up on drinks and snacks, toiletries sun cream etc,

When we do the parks we usually get there early.

If you have a car spend a day at the beach - i like Clearwater.

Dont pack too much most hotels have washers, and you will certainly buy alot when you are there.

The kids tend to wear their oldest trainers, and get a few pairs of new ones when there - the old ones then go in the bin,

If you are buying disney toys check out the disney shop at the premium outlets they usually have some good discounts.

dont panic just enjoy.

You wont please everyone, and you could ruin your holiday if you try to hold everyone together 24/7.

Relax and go with the flow, if some of your party want to go shopping whilst others want to go to a water park let them split up for the day, at least that way you are not seeing glum or frustrated faces.

How about a family meeting? You lay out what is avaiable and let them decide who wants to do what, that way it takes some of the pressure off of you!

Hope you have a great time!

Speaking as someone who has holidayed with family (never again lol!!) i would try and lay some ground rules before you go.

Try and find out what everyone wants to do and plan accordingly and let people go off and do their own thing somedays-- My parents and sister insisted on spending everyday with us whether this was in the parks/shopping/beach so i then spend the whole day making sure everyone has a good time (what about me lol!!)

In my opinion its good to have a few days on you own and jsut meeting up in the evenings, otherwise the holiday can quickly turn into a stressful nightmare..

Dont try to please everyone because its impossible!!!!!!!

Sharron.........first things first....this is your holiday aswell, so dont stress about it ( although I can understand why you are ).

I like to plan everything down to the tee but I realise thats not everyone choice. I have to plan it all before we go to avoid any disagreements when we are there (between my two eldest kids)

Get everyone to make a list of the top 5 things they definately want to do/see/go and that will give you some idea of where to start.

It can be a bit stressfull being with each other every minute of the day, so make sure everyone is honest with each other.

We go 29th Sept, cant wait. Enjoy yourselves.

Try the Orlando travel and business bureau.this is an excample its a great site
