Planning the Daggett Family Vacation Summer 2026 is a complete nightmare, but it doesn't have to be!
An app built out of love, desperation, and the inability to agree on literally anything as a family.
(You were assigned a code. If you lost it, that's very on-brand.)
Why Does This Exist
The short answer, my family makes me completely insane. But I love them! So I built this app to help us plan our extra special mostest fun trip for this summer.
The long answer involves a 45-minute family group call where we somehow discussed 11 destinations, agreed on zero, and Tim said “what about Florida?” four separate times while contributing nothing else of substance.

A comprehensive review of each family member's contributions to vacation planning
Tim
Dad / Chief Vibes Officer“Completely Unhelpful and likely making this more difficult than it has to be”
Just wants a "Nice vacation." What does that mean, Tim? Nobody knows. Tim doesn't know. When pressed for details he just says "I dunno, something nice" and then suggests everyone come to Florida. Tim, we are trying to plan something SPECIAL. Florida is not special, Tim.
Deanne
Mom / Only One Who Actually Tried“The only one who actually tried, and look where it got her”
Was the ONLY person who showed up to the family meeting with actual Airbnb links. Found like 12 of them. Every single one got shot down for being "not close enough to fun." What does that even mean? She doesn't know either but she's frustrated about it. Has since pivoted into telling everyone else to come up with ideas because she is done with it. We love her.
Angelica
Peter's Better Half / Laptop Closer / Duck Art Director“Very beautiful but kept trying to slam my laptop closed while building this so also unhelpful”
Her contributions to this app include: "Are you done yet?", "Can we watch something?", physically attempting to end the development process, and the duck logo (she was VERY aggressive about it having a pink bow. Do not question the pink bow). 10/10 supportive partner.
Carlie
Sister / Dish Avoidance Specialist“Only cares about not doing dishes, and also extremely unhelpful”
Her only vacation requirement is a dishwasher. Could be going to Paris, could be going to a parking lot — as long as she doesn't have to hand-wash a single fork, she's in.
Peter
Developer / Family Hero / Humble Guy“Awesome, incredible, so helpful wow he built an app!”
While everyone else was being unhelpful (see above), Peter was tirelessly coding this app at 2am, fueled by cold coffee and the distant sound of his laptop almost being slammed shut. You're welcome, family.
How This Works (Please Read, Dad)
4 simple phases. Even Tim can do it. Probably.
Wishlist
Each group fills out what they want — destinations, activities, vibes, deal-breakers. Yes Tim, you can put Florida.
Prioritize
Rank your must-haves vs. nice-to-haves. You only get 5 must-haves so choose wisely. Looking at you, Carlie (it's going to be “dishwasher”).
Compatibility Report
The app compares everyone's answers and shows where we agree, where we're close, and where we need to have a Serious Family Discussion.
Meeting + Vote
We meet (on a call, because we can't even agree on where to meet), review everything, pitch destinations, and vote. Democracy! Kind of.

Ask Peter. He literally built the app. He knows everything. He is the keeper of the codes. The code whisperer. The digital gatekeeper of family fun.
