Venting: planning feels like whack-a-mole with the app right now
I know Disney planning has always been a little intense, but I'm honestly hitting a wall with how app-dependent everything feels right now.
I'm pretty techy. I track habits, live by reminders, keep spreadsheets, and I'm the friend who carries backup battery packs. I assumed I'd be fine. Instead, I'm spending my evenings repeating the same planning steps because something changes, resets, or is hidden behind a different menu every time I open the app.
Examples from this week: dining times I saved vanish from my plan view until I hunt them down; my party shows up split into two groups for no reason; and the app keeps nagging me to enable notifications and location even though I already did. Then there are hard ticket events with precise timing, so now I have to camp out for a drop or risk missing it. I'm trying to plan a relaxing vacation, not babysit a buggy UI.
The worst part is I can't tell if I'm doing something wrong or if the app is flaky. I don't want to show up and find someone not linked or our plans gone.
If you have a reliable routine for keeping everything straight, like screenshots, checklists, nightly verification, or any other tips, please share. I'm not trying to game the system. I just want to stop feeling like my trip depends on a moving target.
