Well not ALL of them because I don't remember half of them!
Seriously, if someone has a question, yes, I'll give them all the information I have. Sometimes it makes them so happy that their whole vacation is better, and that makes me happy.
Many visits over 35+ years!

I share all my secrets, and everyone else's that I pick up on from intercot. I have a 30 page document of my lessons learned, planning tips, and secrets. I share it with everyone that I know is going to WDW.
Some of them think I over plan things.

Think you might be willing to share that with a fellow over planner?
You can't take the sky from me

I think I may want to also have this document! We leave in 78 days!!!!

I haven't updated the doc since our last trip, but will happily email it to whomever wants it. Unless someone wants to create a place where I can upload it.
PM me with your email address and I will send it your way. It would be greatly appreciated if you can think of other things I should add, send them to me. Then I can add it and keep sharing.
-
I share with the I-Cot members because, quite frankly, no one I know in real life takes the trip planning as serious as I do (even the self-proclaimed Disney experts!) I also have benefitted by all of your tips and advice and I like giving back to the site, even though I am no where near the expert that most of you are.

Depends... if someone asks for my help, yes, but I don't typically offer. I have been burned by family members that have come back from WDW screaming because I didn't tell them something obvious like it takes longer than two minutes to get to MK from their resort off-site. Yea, I have THAT kind of family.
But, I just helped my SIL's neighbor plan her fall trip and I think they'll have a fantastic time. They've never been and are taking the kids for the first time and didn't know about ADRs or pretty much anything so it was fun to help.

Yeah, I can vouch for the not sharing of Micky95. I am his dw and he doesn't share with me, but there is a certain cast member at soarin' that he shares with whenever he gets the chance.
first trip 1976
27 trips since and counting!

This cracked me up!
I share as much as I can for those that ask. I have the Disney Visa, so I get asked a lot from people who ring me up at registers! Sometimes my relatives and friends will call me and ask if they can give my number to someone they know planning a trip. My husband tells me I should open my own Disney planning service, but I'm happy sharing for free!

Thanks! But it's true! We went two years ago with my In-laws, who had never been. Last year we took one person who had never been. This year we're taking a family of six with us, who have never been! I don't know what we'll do in two years....we don't have anyone lined up yet.

I think I have sent my tips doc to everyone that requested it. If I missed anyone, let me know and I will make sure I send it.
