We're at 86 days! I have a countdown on my phone.... and I see it every time I look at the screen, so yeah a few times a day.

QUESTION OF THE DAY???
What's your WDW countdown today? Do you check in every few days or keep a countdown on your desk top/smartphone?

I just use my countdown tickers here on the Dis to track our number of days left. The big ticker counts down until we actually arrive in Orlando (on the 23rd). The little one on the bottom (which shows the number of days as opposed to months/weeks/days) is for when we actually leave the house (on the 22nd....we added a night in Syracuse before we fly out).

I can't believe its only 89 days to go!!!

I have a countdown on my phone that tells me how many days left that I check probably hourly 71 more days to go! I don't want to wish the summer away, but I'm ready. I'll be even more excited when I get to 60 days left! I'm hoping it flys by from there

This is me, EXACTLY!! Love summer, Love everything about it--longer days, lazy days in the pool (well, when I'm not at work, right??), and barbeque!! I want those days to last--especially for DS who is going into his senior year of high school!! And the reward at the end of the summer? Disney vacation!!!! So, I don't want to wish my summer away either (and it looks like we will be there at the same time!!! ) but I'm also very excited for our trip!!!

I'm the same way. We are going at the start of August, so 75 days I believe. I teach middle school, so while I am anxious to go on my first Disney vacation, I am not wishing away my summer before it starts! Thanks to the Disboards I have a great feeling about this trip, and I hope it will be the first of many returns for my family.

69 days!!

I have a countdown app on my phone and the countdown on my experience website. I check it daily multiple times, lol.

I know how the car issues feel for sure! My jeep has been in the shop with my car guy 3 times in two weeks! Once for regular maintenance and then tye rods ($$$) brakes ($) and then what we thought was shocks ended up being a faulty tye rod (thankfully covered) it was getting expensive!

We've done ASMo x2 and AKL x1 looking forward to CBR and BWI this time !

OH MY GOODNESS! I'm so sorry to hear you had such troubles! It's so funny because when you are a kid you think "car=freedom" but as an adult I tend to think "car=moneypit" lol. But, thank God I have a car, and she is a good one! I hope your jeep issues are over for a good long time

85 days too!!! Woo!! Dh made a countdown flip calendar for the kids complete with searches for keeper of the magic kingdom card searches and disney dollar trivia! Took him 100 days to put the 100 day calendar together lol!

Sounds awesome! Do you have pics? We still haven't told the kids!!

JavArmy and joshsmom - are we all there at the same time then?? Are you two on the FB page?? (There is a list of everyone and where/when they're staying and ADRs for possible DISmeets! I have to put mine on there still, but I need to do it on the regular computer, so it hasn't happened quite yet...)

I will be at AKL 8/2-8/9!!

I check every few days. We are at 85 days according to My Disney Experience.

We are also at 85 days. I have a few of them. I have a countdown app on my phone, a signature widget, the MDE site and we made a dry erase countdown for the kids. It's a printout of a Mickey head that says "Days until Disney" and we framed it. The girls write the number of days in the Mickey head and then update each day.

When we started counting, we were way over 100 so I am a happy camper that we are making progress!!

Just picked up DD9 from school at 1:30. She's got a fever, stomachache and headache. We have a cook-out planned for Monday with lots of people coming. Really hoping this illness passes in a day. My head started hurting this morning at work so I really hope I am not coming down with it too.
My brother-in-law and sister-in-law are coming Saturday for the weekend as a get away for their anniversary. Great to share a virus for a 20th anniversary gift hu? Going to take a nap.

 

[Victoriasmom98]

Coming up this year..

AoA Little Mermaid, Port Orleans French Quarter, and Wilderness Lodge.

Just wait.......it may (and probably will) change

Mine is 86 Days to Go and I can't remember what app it is off the top of my head. Somedays I swear I look at it at least 7 times!
