Where has this guy been?

When my wife and I went to Disney World in 1996, we planned nothing in advance. We found ourselves waiting in massive lines for rides and spending hours waiting for tables in restaurants. We realized we screwed up and we had to do better.

That was 27 years ago. Since then, we had kids and raised them to adulthood.

Every trip after that we scheduled reservations in advance. Every morning we wake up, we know what park we are going to. We spend about 20 minutes every day we are there planning that day’s activities, and we roll with whatever changes we encounter.

I don’t understand how having a plan in place in advance of your vacation somehow makes it more stressful. I’ve always thought it was easier to not have to wonder what we’ll be doing and where we’ll be going during our Disney trips.

Are there really people who insist on just showing up with no plan and then blame Disney when they are stressed?

Also, it seems like most of the Disney criticism I see is coming from Fox news in some form or another. Is that just my news feed, or is it an extension of the culture war that the right is trying to foment?

    The only (possibly) extrovert thing in there was booking reservations? I would assume you would also have to book that cabin.

      They described A MASSIVE CROWDED AMUSEMENT PARK THAT REQUIRES CONSTANT PLANNING AND SURPRISES AND HUMAN CONTACT. And then go “oh the only thing said was for extroverts was maybe making reservations”

      Are you for real? You either don’t know what extroversion is or maybe trolling.

        I was specifically talking about what OP said, which is literally just planning and booking reservations. I did not know planning was an extrovert trait.

          “We found ourselves waiting in massive lines for rides and spending hours waiting for tables in restaurants. We realized we screwed up and we had to do better.”

          “Every morning we wake up, we know what park we are going to. We spend about 20 minutes every day we are there planning that day’s activities, and we roll with whatever changes we encounter.”

          Did you not read the post? Am I being trolled? How are people telling me this is the same as renting a cabin lmfao did I take crazy pills?

            Dude I’m not gonna argue with you but honestly you sound socially anxious if waiting in line is hard for you.

              Educate yourselves, y’all!

              INTROVERTS IN GENERAL DON’T LIKE CROWDS AND ITS NOT BECAUSE THEY’RE ANXIOUS.👏👏👏
