Mobile What else can I do?

Hi, I'm sending myself crazy! We don't go until August next year. We have bought flights, accommodation, car hire and park tickets. I have a rough plan for which parks and when. I am stalking these threads and Tim tracker. I've even started buying toiletries and clothes! I'm assuming I'm far too early to sort insurance, estas or spending money. Can anyone think of anything else for me to sort? Xx

It's not too early to sort insurance and ESTAs - if anything the sooner the better IMO.

Definitely get ESTA sorted. In the unlikely event there is an issue, you have time to sort it out. If you need new passports, do that first then new ESTA.
I’m impressed you’ve got all that booked. I’m still waiting for flight prices to drop! 😂

I'm sure as you mention ESTAs you've got this sorted, but passports?

In my opinion it's never too early to start looking at restaurants and drooling over menus. Will you be making any ADRs?

Any pets to sort out care for whilst you are away?

Definitely sort insurance out. It will cover you if you have any issues before you fly and need to cancel , make changes or hopefully not but fall ill before anyone travels

Get insurance now, I would have it in place before spending any hard cash, because you never know.

Definitely insurance - you have already paid out for flights so insurance will cover this if something happened. Estas, gives you plenty of time to sort our visas if something went wrong there. If you are planning airport parking, this tends to be cheaper the earlier you book. Are you thinking of a pre-payment card? If yes you could start loading with spending money as and when you get it, if there is a good exchange rate you can then exchange it. Regular movie nights, so you are up on what your rides are based on. Learn the words to 'Its a small world' and 'its a pirates life for me' nothing better than being able to sing along on the ride - my husband loves it, even if he swears not lol.

Thought I was the only one! Have been buying cheap Disney T-shirt’s in Penney’s (your Primark) any summer stuff that I could use for next year in the sales, like luggage accessories and stuff and will do the formal stuff nearer the time.
So exciting!

Hi, I've sorted passports, was worried about insurance in case anything changes as it's so far in advance?
I've thoroughly enjoyed drooling over the menus and reviews, however we don't want to be tied down with adrs this time so think we'll be a bit more casual about things this time round. I have a hit list though!
Luckily our dog will be going to Grandparents! Xx

Hopefully nothing happens but what if we develop a condition, would it be covered as we didn't pre-advise? (but couldn't as we didn't know before, if that makes sense!) x
