Routines That Travel
If when at home you observe certain routines—for example, reading a book before
bedorhavingabathfirstthinginthemorning—trytoincorporatethesefamiliaractiv-
ities into your vacation schedule. They will provide your children with a sense of se-
curity and normalcy.
Maintaining a normal routine is especially important with toddlers, as a mother
of two from Lawrenceville, Georgia, relates:
The first day, we tried an early start, so we woke the children (ages 2 and 4) and hur-
ried them to get going. BAD IDEA with toddlers. This put them off schedule for naps
and meals the rest of the day. It is best to let young ones stay on their regular sched-
ule and see Disney at their own pace, and you'll have much more fun.
We offer a Sleepyhead Touring Plan for each park, perfect for families like this
reader's.
LOGISTIC PREPARATION
WHEN WE RECENTLY LAUNCHED
into our spiel about good logistic preparation for a
Walt Disney World vacation, a friend from Indianapolis said, “Wait, what's the big
deal? You pack clothes, a few games for the car, then go!” So OK, we confess, that
will work, but life can be sweeter and the vacation smoother (as well as less expens-
ive) with the right gear.
