I understand completely! While I do love the planning involved in a Disney World trip, being the “Magic Coordinator” for a group trip is really stressful! Especially if the rest of the group hasn’t been before.
I am generally ok if my husband and son want to switch things up on trips where it is just us (although letting go of that SDMT FP the day of was certainly painful), but I am planning a trip with my husband’s brother and his family and I feel like I am responsible for making sure they see everything and have a great time! And they don’t understand why I am asking them about restaurants 6 months in advance or how tall they think my niece will be in 4 months and whether she is scared of yetis (). And what is going to happen when we rope drop and I want to get to Jungle Cruise and they decide they want to ride the Magic Carpets or climb the Swiss Family Robinson treehouse?
I’m trying to tell myself to go in with our plan but be prepared for things to change. And that I don’t need to worry if they are having fun or think I did a horrible job planning. It’s hard and I definitely said that after this, I am never planning to go with another group again!
