27 days until my trip!

[princessreilly]

What should I be doing?

 

[sydneysmom]

You could print out all your dining reservations, make a packing list.... I made a packing list for all toiletry items, clothes, stuff for the backpack.....

make a checklist of all the things you need to do in your house before you leave : hold mail, if you have pets, timers for your lights in the house, etc

if you're really neurotic, you could switch your ADR's around like 50 times before you go !

In a couple of weeks you could start laying out clothes you're bringing to pack.... we put all our vacation pile in the guest room. Then a few nights before we check it all and put it in the suitcase.

I know how you feel though... you feel like you should be doing all this stuff but it's kind of "sit and wait" time !! (make lists, you'll think of a million things in between now and when you leave that you wouldn't have thought of if you pack right before you go) I'm neurotic that way.

Staring at a calendar, sharpie in hand, ready to X off each day until then?

 

[TandLMommy28]

I'm playing with ridemax, making a planning scrapbook, shopping Dollar Tree for little things we'll need or that will save us money.

We'll be there the same time! I'm so excited, I just want to go NOW!

We're going the same day you are it looks like, but to Riverside vs FQ.
I'm in the same boat - itching to do something to prepare, but the ADRs are in order, I pre-built daily emails of "xx days to go!" with trivia tidbits and set outlook to delay send so they go out each morning...

Bought all of the glow necklaces, toys, snacks, etc that will keep the kids happy, reviewed the reservations and maps, updated the GPS for the drive..

Arrrggh. Nothing left to do but wait...
(On a side note, I haven't seen my package from Disney yet.. although my parents who are coming as well and booked a week later than us have received theirs... hrmmm)

We have 25 days to go and our travel documents arrived today!!!!

I have been making lists and going to Target and Wal-Mart to get a few things. I am ready to start packing.....though it's probably still just a little early!

What should I be doing?

Raisin' the roof of course!

I always start "nesting" before vacations, its weird. I also get snacks from the grcoery store, and then eat them all, then buy them again closer to the trip. .... you may just want to take sydneysmom's advice!

You should be contacting the post office and finding out why my invitation hasn't been delivered yet!


And stopping your mail or have someone pick it up

I like that idea, a dry run with the snacks to make sure they're good

I have 26 days to go. I've already checked off everything on this list! I'm in the sit and wait time... still feels so far away but, then again I feel like it was just yesterday I was doing the "99 days to go" dance!

 

[LMO429]

Im right behind you at 31.5 days to go.

I just got done printing out all dining reservations, schedule, tours confirmation etc.

confirmed with my travel agent that my requests are on my reservation.

prepared my packing list. and I need to purchase a couple of last minute items.

 

[halssister]

Ooh ooh, we leave for our first ever trip in 24 days! Though we have two days of driving so won't be there for 26 days. Personally, I have been keeping really busy with other things (work and major volunteer job for DS's school) so I haven't had as much time to obsess! Otherwise I'd be going crazy right now!

 

[misha]

We're right about at the 25 day mark!

My sister who is flying with her fam has already gotten her packet - we're driving will we get a packet too or do we not need one since we're not flying?

What are these packets that people are referring to? Am I supposed to get something?
We made room-only reservations as we had already purchased our tickets last year before the rates went up......does that make a difference?

 

[Tamdude]

Here's a question for you... We also leave in 24 days and recieved our package in the mail today.... question: no coupon for a free 5x7 photo pass print this year? bummer!

 

[kwitcherkicken99]

25 days here too.

We have our ME docs last week and got our travel vouchers Saturday.

I've been stock piling our goodies for the trip. Ponchos, kid distracters for the plane, all the random things we'll need. Tomorrow I'll be finalizing our GG order, photopass has been ordered... I need to streamline our spreadsheet to get everything copied onto 1 small page. Watching the weather, finalizing our scavenger hunt...

I think that's about it.

I know... I was bummed too, but it is what it is.

Thank you for that reminder. This isn't my post but ooohhhh I had forgotten to do that .....putting on my list now

 

[TandLMommy28]

My packet came on Saturday, which was 29 days from our check in... my aunt got hers days before me and she is actually arriving the day after I am. So it doesn't seem like there's any rhyme or reason to the order they send them out!
