The hardest part of a multi-generational Walt Disney World trip has nothing to do with Disney. It's that one person ends up responsible for eight people's vacation.
You know who it is. Usually it's whoever suggested the trip. They're fielding texts at 7am about where to meet, apologizing to grandparents about the walking, and quietly not riding anything themselves.
Four things fix most of it.
Stop assuming you all have to share a room, or even a resort. A multi-bedroom villa gives you a kitchen and laundry and one front door. Separate rooms at the same resort keep you close with your own space. Separate resorts let each household pick what fits their priorities. All three work. The default of cramming everyone together is what doesn't.
Stop planning every minute together. Rope drop as a group, ride a few things, then split for a couple of hours and reconvene. One or two sit-down meals across the whole trip is plenty of togetherness. The pressure to be a single unit from open to close is what makes people snippy by day three.
Have a dining plan that doesn't require consensus three times a day. Crystal Palace, Tusker House, Via Napoli, and Roundup Rodeo BBQ all handle big groups well. Everything else, let people eat when they're hungry.
And agree on priorities before you land. Each family picks their must-dos, then you pick one or two everyone does together. A group chat set up before the trip sounds small and saves the entire first morning.
Here's the real value of having us on it. Nobody in your family has to be the trip coordinator. We handle the moving pieces across every household, and when something changes mid-trip, the texts come to us instead of to your sister.
Save this for your next big family trip.
