I have never arrived in Orlando w/o a hotel reservation, but definitely w/o tickets or any plans other than "let's see what's new at Epcot."

I guess I should put other, but we winged a trip last month. But, I'd been 8 times already and am always in planning mode, so it's not exactly winging it.

And, as you know from my trip reports, we had a GREAT TIME...we all agree that it was the best trip ever (despite the weather and lack of Christmas decorations which is why I love early December best!).

Yep. It was our honeymoon. We thought we had a good trip, but it was spring break, and, well, you can figure out how it went. We arrived at the parks late, got frustrated with the lines, and didn't know a thing about the restaurants.

Here is the frustrating thing..............we are so spoiled by the Summer hours that I don't know what to do with the limited Fall hours.

Yes, we've "winged" a trip, but I have to say that it was a LONG time ago, and before kids. We went to Disney on our 1st anniversary, back in October 1994. We stayed at OKW on my SIL and BIL's DVC points. It was a last minute kind of trip (like we decided and went about 2 months later). We made no reservations at all. We didn't have a plan or an itinerary. We just "went".

But, I have to say that back then, you could do that, and still dine table service without a problem. I remember walking into Epcot and they had these t.v. monitors and you spoke with a dining reservation person right on the screen and made your reservation for a meal right then and there.

It was also long before the MNSSHP so October was a great time to go...very low crowds back then.

Boy, have times changed! Now I'd never venture to Disney without some sort of plan, and definitely wouldn't go without ADR's!

I guess I should add about our honeymoon, when we arrived, we had a ressie at CBR and park hoppers, that was it. No idea about anything else. DH had been once as a child and once on a band trip.
