Can't believe we are starting to plan a family vacation for June 2018!
So far I know it will be 7 of us! Myself (54), DH (56), DS (11) He is actually my step grandson but we have had custody of him since he was 9 months old so he is our son! DS (34) DIL (32), DGD (10) & DGD (8). * ages when we go!
DH, DS (11) and I haven't been to Disney since 2013. We went in July for 15 nights, stayed in condo 10 mins from Disney. We did MK, AK and Universal, Daytona Beach, Sea World, Gatorland, deep sea fishing, visited family and condo swim time.
DS(34) is my step son and hasn't been since he was 15. Until 2013 that was last time we had been!! DIL and both DGD's have never been!
Have another stepson (37) and 2 more DGD's (10 & 2) that probably won't go due to finances. Considering taking the 10 yr old if DS and ex DIL can come up with the money for her. She goes to MK every Christmas with her mom so she has been lots! My other stepson (39) ( custody of his son) will NOT be going for sure! Our DS and DIL (both 29) that live 6 hrs away from us probably won't go but maybe able to make it a couple of days!
Have 3 older grandkids (23,21 & 19) along with 4 great grandsons (6,4,2 & 2) that are invited but probably won't go. It is a everyone pays their own expenses vacation. Wish we could afford to pay it all but no way!
Planning June 15-30 backup date is July 5-20. Staying off site at same condo area (4 bedroom, 3 bath for $1600. Going to each Disney park, 2 days at Universal, 1 Sea World day, 1 Gatorland day, deep sea fishing all day, and a beach day. Not sure yet about the other days!
What are some of the changes at Disney since 2013. I know the Magic bands and the way you make fast passes. I was hoping Star Wars area would be open but see that is planned for 2019.
Are different/more Magic bands available at Disney Springs than Disney store online? Any tips, ideas, suggestions for planning parks for 7 -8 people? DS & DIL are leaving the shedule/times, etc up to me!
Got a long way to go but so much to check up on and plan!
Thanks!
