47 More Days to Go & I'm Getting Nervous! How Silly is That?!

[WaltD4Me]

47 more days to go and I'm getting nervous! I can't believe it. I believe vacations are for having fun and don't usually stress the details, but I'm stressed this time.

Could be because I called to make all our PS's today (late I know!) and I couldn't get a few of the times I wanted and it messed up my whole intinerary. I'm trying to re-do it now and my brain isn't working. I think I might have gotten too much information from here! I'm questioning everything now. I think I'm having Dis-Board information overload! LOL!

Not silly at all. There's so much to look at and research, never mind the PS's. I drove myself crazy that week. Then it was all done, I was all excited then nervous again, should I change anything? did I pick the right ones? It's a little overwhelming at times! You'll be excited again.

 

[WDWSuperFan]

I agree with Tinkerbellmom33, I made our Ps and still second quess myself! Now that I'm over that I'm excited and can't wait for December to get here! I think it just shows how excited you are for your upcoming trip! It will be here before you know it and everything will work out fine... you'll wonder why you stressed so much.

Have a great trip!

Just joining in the 47-Day Club!

I know I am!

I'm in your same boat! I am taking my Dad with me for his first WDW trip and I hope he loves it like I do! I am trying to think of all the things that we *have* to do! I am trying not to over do it but I think I am under-doing it in the process!

Luckily, we are going in the down season, and PS's usually aren't too hard to get once we're there!

Am I at 47 days yet? I think so...

I am at about the same 45 day point, going with adult relatives. I am OUT OF MY SKIN at this point because we do not have any PS, we do not have any itinerary, I don't think they have even made PLANE RESERVATIONS. Can you believe it?

Me, on the other hand, - I am the consumate pre-planner. I don't think they have any idea how great it can be if they have a itinerary of some sort. I am now officially at the point where I am ready to say: "here is my plan - my car will be leaving the condo at 8:30 am. This is where I will be going - you coming?"

i can relate also.....

we are at 41 days, and i need more time worried about not having all the money i budgeted for saved( i am 400 short At this point), worried something is going to happen ( my children are prone to strep throat this time of year, i am thinking about what i should be doing/ have done/ etc.


i know it will be OK....but stressful until then!

I'm at the 40 somethings too...My itinerary is set and my PS are dones, exactly as I wanted them -- and I'ms till nervous! Not about the parks, we're very planned, and I'm very psyched about our plans (we go with the flow, but have a basic plan to guide us)...

I'm nervous about packing and getting everything together that way, what to pack, what to bring, (I'm driving from NJ with my MIL and my three kiddos 6, 4, almost 3) and also about getting ready for Christmas for when we get back - We're traveling from 11.28 - 12.15ish.

Yikes!! I'm so excited, but nervous, too. ITme to strat making tons of lists of things to do. Lists definitely help me feel in control.

I'm READY- I'm so anxious I can't stand it! I can't wait till this trip! We are in the middle of building a house and about to move in with my parents until my house is ready (dear God help us all! ) and we will all need this trip badly by the time it gets here! Yep, my parents are going with us too- they are a great help with our 5 and 3 year olds!!! (and they love WDW too!)
Anyway, will it ever get here???

It happens to the best of us!

I, too, am nervous. I only have 10 days left and I am stressed, I keep thinking about the return trip and how relaxing that will be with no WDW trip to plan!

We also have 47 days. We're taking very good friends who have been so good to us I'm trying to make it perfect so they'll really love it. So everytime a see a negative report on a PS i made or a positive one on something i decided agaisnt I go nuts. But I know they'll have great time no matter what just being on vacation in WDW ar Xmas and of course we spurged on points and have a 2 bedroom villa at OKW whats not to love. So go and have a great time the holidays are fun and on top of it we're in WDW it cant get any better than that

I felt fine a couple months before, but 3 days before the trip I had butterflys in my stomach. Which isn't bad except it was all day long. By the the morning of the start of vacation i was thinking about canceling so i went to local clinic .Dr gave me 7 day supply of aniexty meds. It helped alot but i don't remember the flight there though. I'm not sure why i felt like that. I had no worries. Been there many times.
I wonder if i'm the only one.

I've got a lot more days to go than most of y'all, but what will make me nervous is the prospect of the crowds. We went to DL in CA for spring break in '02; weather was great, and with the UOG touring plans, the waits were short. We went to DLP for spring break '03. Weather was great. Many rides were walk ons (esp. at WDS). We're visiting WDW at a very crowded, hot time. I have this fear of hour plus waits every where, in 90 degree heat. I just have to trust the touring plans and know that we have 9 full days there, so we can stand for things to take longer.

 

[Laralyn]

I'm not nervous, no... why do you ask?

(Typed with the phone in my hand as I call WDW to change our 16 PS for the *third time*!)

LOL! It has become an obsession.

 

[WaltD4Me]

Thanks guys, I feel a little better. I worked on the intinerary last night and it's looking better. I'm still bummed we got a late PS for the Princess Breakfast in Norway (11:30!) but I think it's going to be ok. I wish FW opened earlier so we could hit some stuff there before the PS, but what can you do? I don't think I have enough time budgeted for Epcot, but I'll have to deal.

There are 10 of us going. Three kids 2, 5 and 9. Do you guys think this is too much in one day........also it's our last full day there.

10:30am PS at Chef Mickey's (only time I could get) then we are
we are heading to MGM and finally over to Epcot for Illuminations at 9:30pm. I'm hoping there'll be time for a little break in between MGM and seeing Illuminations since we'll be seeing Fantasmic our first night so we won't have to stay this day to see that.

From time to time, I've seen other posts about being nervous or stressed about the trip, and I've wondered, "why?" This is going to be a fabulous, fun vacation!! Well, I am a first timer, and had NO IDEA how much there is to plan and prepare for!!! Soooo, the other day, I started getting these little hives.....

 

[hezreck]

I have had all my planning finished for about a month, now all I have to do is wait!! That's the hard part for me, I'm so ready to just go!!!

I'm worried about after we get back. After planning so much for the past 9 months, I don't know what I'm going to do with myself we we get home. I won't be spending the greater part of the day online anymore. Anybody know some fun websites to see that aren't Disney related? I haven't been on anything but disney for so long, i forget what's out there.

Hope everyone's trip go beautifully!!

 

[Cindy'sCastle]

I'm definitely nervous, maybe about forgetting something. Now it seems to be flying by. I'm putting the car in the shop Thu to get a "once over" to make sure it's up to the trip. I surely do not want to forget the tickets!!! I'm excited too! It won't be too much longer, only 31 days to go.

I go to bed thinking about the trip and wake up thinking about it.

My stomach does flip flops so much I think it could be a gymnastics star.

I get these funny little cold chills when I start wondering if I made the right choice for this or that..

I'm constantly bouncing ideas/thoughts off of any family member who comes by while I'm doing Disney "research".

I am nervously, happily, giddily excited and I wouldn't have it any other way!!
