Ok guys,being the Disney nut I am.:crazy: I love to plan my trips. I have a planning chart I have used for years and this year we have come up with a couple of other ways to do this. I have an Excel file with 3 different kinds of sheets and a sheet I put together with park hours and parades(I think this is right for times per Disney site.) If anyone would like the file email me at bankdp@earthlink.net and I will email it to you. See everyone in Dec.:bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce: :bounce:

Sorry guys I did this at work yesterday and when I checked it last night the address was wrong.:rolleyes: :eek: It is right now.:cool:

I always do the same thing Dave. I have laid out a rough schedule for this coming DIS CON trip. I started it before the official itinerary was out... so I am spending some time this weekend updating it and fleshing it out. :)

There are 4 sheets. The first one is one I have used for years. It just breaks the days into AM and PM, with a meal and park block. The second and third ones are a stolen idea from yours you posted. LOL One is vertical and one is horizontal. The fourth sheet is just park hours and parade times. I hope these are right. I get the hours from the WDW site. I hope this helps. I am curious what you think of them. I know they are not for everyone. We are looking forward to meeting you and your DW in Dec. Dave


Cool Dave.

I think in real way to plan is your first sheet. The way to plan AM PM Meals Parks leave some room for going with the flow. But to do it you need to know the other stuff like what parade ir fireworks are when so if there is something you just have to do you can plan for it.

We don't over plan our trips but last time we felt like it didn't go right because we missed stuff we wanted to do becasue we under planned - well that and there was no ee to get the big name rides done early.

Jeff is working on one too. Glad to be part of an "open source" commando's guide - LOL

Zurg if you use wrap on the print you can put those details in a box, I have also reduced the big boxes and added a line for all the parks parades, fireworks and such. I actually got started with a wall calendar to put the info I needed on one sheet.

This is the sheet I have used many times.

This sheet was inspired by Zurg and DW likes this one.

This is another version of one inspired by Zurg.

This one I set up with park hours and parades and fireworks shows. I got the info from the WDW site. I hope I got these right.

Wow Dave, very cool

I am an avid fan of spreadsheets and have used them for years. Mine aren't as wonderful as yours, however.


I have sent an email to get yours...thanks.
