I feel like most vacations are that way now. When we went to Rome we had to plan things out, buy skip the line tours and get up setter early to get there. Even a pool resort, you need to be down at the pool bright and early if you want to get a chair for the day. Everything is exhausting!

I used to think it would be terrible to be the tour bus kind of traveller and have my vacation all planned out by somebody else. But I was recently looking at the Rick Steve's Europe tours and thought it didn't sound too bad to have it all arranged for you with English guides, transportation, and prepaid admission. Planning is work.

In my 30s, I traveled the world, mostly with tours, as a single woman. The tours were great for getting me from place to place, and then I could strike out on my own once we arrived at the various places. I’m not sure why tours get such a bad rap. They were golden for me.

For introverts they are a nightmare to imagine being with people all day long for a week plus. I’d rather mill around and do my own thing unless I was traveling somewhere dangerous.

I was told by someone at WDW the worst week is Christmas to new years and the second worst is Valentine’s Day to Presidents’ Day. Spring break also not great but that’s spread out because different schools are on different weeks. Late September and early October are usually low crowds as is the week right after Thanksgiving. January is low ish but you get a ton of big South American tour groups plus a lot of Brits and Australians.

We went Memorial Day weekend last year and I couldn’t believe how empty it was (we go every year). But that could have been an anomaly.
