Addicted to planning!!

[nefer]

I can't believe what an addict I've become I'm a planner by nature (am a teacher) but this is getting out of hand...

The trip is 4 months away... I have a feeling that I should plan closer to the actual event but I can't seem to follow through! Every time I come here I find something new to obsess over. The most recent one being planning spreadsheets!!

I can't be the only one suffering, can I?

I even plan for our next trip before it's scheduled!

I've been planning since last Thanksgiving for a Nov/Dec 2010 trip. So I understand completely.

Crazy,aren't we??

 

[ancestry]

Me too. Although prior to switching careers I was in marketing/event planning/logistics so it is in my blood. Even in my new career I do a lot of conference and event planning.

Planning is half the fun. The earlier I can start planning (up to a year ahead as little as 3 days ahead a few weeks ago) the 'longer' I get to be in vacation thinking mode. I think its a blast to plan Disney but I am a bit obsessive at times about it too. We are in the 3 months mark for our next trip and I'm second guessing my ADR's and re-running rates w/ the new pin I got today. I prob won't change anything but it can drive you nuts after a while.

I am addicted to planning I just booked today for August 4th--6 nights.. I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!!!

Happy planning

Haha! Everyone goes a little crazy planning, I suppose. For me, it's about maximizing the time I have during my vacation and getting the most for my money - this is why I get obsessive! I'm that annoying person that schedules, then cancels, then reschedules the same reservation. Or, I have multiple reservations going at one time so I have many options. I do this with hotel, air, rental car and dining. Sigh...ridiculous, I know!

Hello.. My Name is ShhhQ and I too am a planning addict!

Our trip is still 6 months away and I am not only planning this trip (and all its particulars), but I am trying to plan whether or not I can afford to take advantage of any bounceback offers if there are any offered.. and when and where we would stay if we did!

Ah, yes. Ideally a planning addict needs 2+ trips going at once

I am soo with you guys with the whole planning addiction. My trip is 4 months away in july:trying things this way and that way and then there's this site...wow thats another addiction I am soo excited about staying at CBR with my oldest DD12. I have 4 DD'S and this is a chance to spend mother daughter time with my oldest.

I've got it too !


If I even get the idea that we MIGHT take a trip I've got it planned out to the umpteenth degree long before we even have it booked.

The first step in recovery is admitting you have a problem.

Hi, My name is Jill. I've been planning our Disney vacation since January 2009. We are booked to go in September of this year. I am a planning addict.

It's SOOOO much fun planning and reading everyone's reviews !! it's like you can live at Disney through everyone else's trip reports ! That's not a bad thing if it makes your day happier and you smile more often. Have fun planning!!

 

[JLO]

Oh boy, I know I am addicted, too... I've started to HIDE my planning. I got Ridemax and my son (13), when he saw me working on it yet again, said, "You're planning every night... can't we just do what we want whenever???" I can't help it...

 

[Arielssister]

I have a PTR titled "The Earliest PTR ever! I SO need it, though"! We aren't going again until the end of 2011 and I'm already talking about it a lot! So I think you are doing just fine!

I am the same way, but it was originally born of necessity. Had to have the plans at least outlined before submitting them to the CFO (read DW). From there, it becomes complete obsession, whether it's Disney or any other vacation.

Hahaha! I do that too. Mine are ongoing and often never even make it to the room
-booking stage. Yet, I plan out resort, dining, transportation, etc. in my mind

Oh boy, I know I am addicted, too... I've started to HIDE my planning...

 

[disneymomma1978]

it's nice to know that it's not just me
my DH thinks I'm crazy but I just can't get enough of Disney!! we're going 11/28-12/7/10 and I already have our ADR's picked out and which days we're going where (for the most part as I'll have to adjust for MVMCP)!!

 

[Heidi Loves Disney]

I have 254 days left until my vacation, but I am having a blast planning and reading about WDW.
I keep talking about it, and my friends/family keep telling me it's not until November.
It's fun!!
