A good plan

Many people who travel to Orlando normally find it very hard to decide what to do when they are on vacation. This can lead to some arguments with who wants to visit what parks on certain days. How do you get round this type of problem?

Firstly as some of the best Army Generals said, always have a good solid plan and try to stick to it as best as you can. Always remain flexible and most of all enjoy yourself when you carry out the said plan! Well firstly I would not expect someone to go on vacation to Orlando and treat it as a serious war planning exercise, but by planning your trip before you go does work well by saving time when you arrive.

The first part of the plan I would always carry out is to make a list of all the parks each person in the family would like to visit. They should put these parks/ activity in priority order (Say listed from 1-10). Each park is then rated by that person with 1 scoring the lowest. Once the whole family has done this you total all the points and then rank each park/ activity in order. The park/activity with the lowest points is ranked No1. Once you have your list you can then carry out the next phase of your operation.

It is now important to work out how many days you will have to do the activities on your short list (as completed above). This will then show you how many parks/activities you will be able to do.

Next you should draw a list of what you will be doing on what day. This is always the best way of approaching what to do, as you can visually see what you will be doing. This will help you decide if you are going to have any rest days or not and where to put them into your plan/ calendar. Next take your top parks /activities you have on your list and away you go by allocating a day to activity. Once you have filled all the days you are ready to go.

What happens if you have anything left over (which you will have!). Great it just means you need to start planning your next vacation to Orlando, Florida…….

And as the great Hannibal of the A-team once said ‘ We do like it when a plan comes together’….
