My "Re-Do" Trip

Well, it's that time of year again when I will begin planning yet another wonderful vacation to the magical world of Disney. Planning out a trip is often just as fun as the trip itself! This time around, I'm planning quite a ways in advance. I will be a senior in college this year and I have decided that there is no where else I would rather spend my spring break than in Disney World! I will be traveling with one of my best friends, a fellow Disney enthusiast.
The Orlando theme parks are always more fun when you are around others who share the same passion for the experience. On my last trip, there were some members of my group that preferred the big thrill rides you would find at Universal or Busch Gardens and did not fully appreciate the fantastical world we had entered into for six days. This did not stop me from enjoying my time, but I feel like I need a re-do.

Word to the Wise: If traveling with people you have not vacationed with before, keep the trip to a week or less. We're all bound to get on each others nerves at some point! Eight days was too much for me, but I think five days should be a safe bet. Also, keep in mind that within large groups, compromise is a must. Anything that can be discussed and sorted before the trip should be taken care of so that it does not cut into vacation time when decisions need to be made.


This time around I will be going with someone who I have been on vacation with before and we are both on the same page about what we want to do and how we want things done. This will be our first trip being 21 years of age, meaning, we will be able to fully experience Disney nightlife and I can report our findings here! I have heard nothing but good things about the nightlife in Disney and I can't wait to experience the vibrant evening atmosphere of the Boardwalk for myself.
