We’re last minute people, maybe a week in advance without air travel, a month with. A family friend just invited us to join them on a vacation NOVEMBER 2025. That seems bonkers to me!
How far in advance do you plan a small trip like a road trip or visiting family, and how far in advance for a big trip like international travel, a cruise, or Disney?
If it’s a camping trip, six months because that’s when campsite reservations open and they book up fast.
Anything else, 2-4 months, usually closer to 4. International trip more like 4-6 months.
You must camp nicer places than I do!
Washington, so probably. Beautiful place. They implemented the six-month opening a couple of years back because all the campsites would get booked out years in advance for the best times of year.
