31 Days... And Freaking Out!!!

[MickeyNikiNaka]

Ok, I went through the "I don't care" phase and now am back on the "Where did the time go?"

31 days, and I'm swamped with school before then so I don't know how much more time I will have to plan. I don't even know what I'm forgetting to be perfectly honest but for some reason this trip just doesn't seemed as well planned as I would like it to be. WHY IS THAT?!?!!?


Seriously though, I've planned out three different scenario's in which our groups can do things, troubleshooting President's Day (btw, the crows are usually higher that day and I want to avoid it right?) EVERYTHING. I'll admit, I don't know the park like the back of my hand, but I also think that until I get there and have some practical application to what I've been looking at on the internet and through the maps, it just won't make a lot of sense!! (Although, I must admit I could have studied the maps a little better, at least I still have time for that!)

I haven't bought Ridemax yet because I own a mac and it turns out Ridemax isn't friends with my mac. (the shame of it all)

I have my matching shirts bought
A list of things we need to buy when we get down there and go to Target
I have my rooms booked at the HOJO
I have my flight
I'm still in need of a backpack but that's not going to bother me right now
I have my Camera
My list of things I need to pack


Basically people, what am I missing? How can I make this anxiety go away?!?!

I always get anxious before a trip...no matter where we are going. Especially being a mom and now I pack for the entire family so I am always going through my lists in my head. Sounds like you have a pretty good handle on things already. Just try to relax

I agree!

I am already pre-packing.

I ordered new shirts from the Disney store online for all 3 of us to wear, and they are in the suitcase. I have a small list of snacks to buy, and when I buy them, I cross them off and put them in the suitcase.

I have a few odds and ends packed already : surge protector, baseball hat, snacks, a few odd clothing items.

A week before the trip I will probably have just about everything done, and the day before we leave I will be pulling out my hair trying to make sure I have everything.

I have slight OCD, so I think that is where I get so hung up on making sure a zillion times that everything is ready. That can be a good thing, and a bad thing, LOL.

I've got 19 days to go before we drive to DL on either Feb 1st or Jan 31st. It sounds like you are much more organized than I am at this point. And I thought I was a severe overplanner. Have got the pics printed off the camera and the memory cards wiped, and have started to put aside clothes for the trip. I've done everything that I can think of at this point to do before the last week of the trip. It just seems that no matter how much you are prepared, there always seems to be alot of things to do that you forget till the last minute. I'm still thinking up lots of little things that need to get done. Good luck on your packing, and have a great evening!!

Did you want to book any PS for restaurants?

My problem with last time is that I thought of all these great things I wanted to be doing at the parks about 6 months beforehand. and then promptly forgot all about them when the time came...

We still had a great time though, and you're right, when you get there most things will come back to you.

Just remember the main things that could ruin the trip - your tickets for everything and money! Even if you forget everything else, you can always get replacements while you're there!

Aww thanks guys, I feel so much better now!
I think it's just the stress of school and planning a trip at the same time that's gotten to me, ya know?

It feels better to know that i'm not alone! BecBennett! Thank you so much I forgot to make my PS at the BB!! Now the real question is, when will I have time to do it? LOL
