Two Weeks Left, but Who's Counting?

We are officially two weeks away from our research trip. We've been working like crazy to get spreadsheets organized, packing lists completed, and an intern hired for the trip!

Jeremy, intern Caitlin and I will be in Disney World from February 5th to the 12th, and all three of us are very excited for the trip.

As we've probably stated before, this trip is going to be mostly about testing out as many new foods as possible, so some of the most important preparation steps have been booking restaurants, choosing snacks to test out, and budgeting the trip to figure out how much food we should pack.

Caitlin made a neat spreadsheet for us to track the same elements at every meal, and they're going to come very in handy. If you're looking to find your favorite snacks and meals, you might like to try this method, too, otherwise you can breeze in and out of any and all food-haunts worry free!

We are also going to try Disney-Bounding on this trip, because we're all very theatrical and love to dress up. I've taken a trip to Good Will with Jeremy to try and find some of our missing pieces. I've had a lot more luck than he has, strangely enough.

Intern Caitlin and I will be going on another Good Will trip this weekend to seek out some more pieces for herself, me and for Jeremy. I'm very hopeful that with our creative minds we can make it all work.

I will post more later regarding our food selection process, and how we'll bring the best of the best your way throughout the trip!

Know Before You Go: Prepare the Smart Way!

Good News! Things are moving here at In-Betweeners...and by things I mean me, Jen.

I just made a move from my home in CT down the east coast to Jeremy's home in NJ which is awesome as it means we'll have lots more time to work on the book.

Before the move, however, I got to sit down with a couple other in-betweeners and talk to them about their last trip to Disney. My friends, Sara and Alex, will be joining us in Disney on our next trip. They'll be serving as Guinea pigs, of a sort, for our travel tips and expertise, so I decided to ask them what their biggest problems were when traveling to Disney. Their answers didn't surprise me, and their problems (and likely yours, as well,) are all easily solved with smart preparation.

Knowing your CAN'T MISS List

Disney Itinerary

This one is probably the most important part of planning the trip, aside from booking it. If you don’t know what you want to see, you could very well end up missing it.
