All I want to do is plan!

Is this the plan-oholic website?:laughing:

A WDW vacation planned out 16 months in advance wasn't enough to tied me over so I had to book DLR for a "quick fix", but it's all planned out too.
So....
I'm looking at cruises and Hawaii for next year!:surfweb: Good grief.

Should I be worried? :worried:
 
I have already set up my spreadsheet & I haven't even confirmed my dates or got the park hours yet!!

I'm considering paying for the touring plans subscription? Has anyone else used it? Is it worth it? X

I used Touring Plans and I really liked it. If you have an Unofficial Guide there is usually a code to get you a couple of quid off the subscription.
 
I like Touring Plans, particularly being able to design my own plans for each park and then getting them to optimise them to make them work! :) You can then access them on an app on your phone, and get them updated if you change the plan as you go :)
 
at least you are going next year , i havent even got a year yet never mind dates tho possibly may be able to book next year

i have adr shortlist theme park itinerary and road trip destinations mapped out already

my dh says everytime i open my mouth something related to disney comes out he gets very cross and also blanks me out , i had no input at all planning our last trip , but yet plenty of moans about why are we only in miami one night , no nascar booked i spent months asking to look over plans and work out when we could fit it and he just said dont bother then moaned for 2 week that it wasnt organised !!

its very expensive and i think the more you plan the better use of time and moneys worth you will get
 

Oh ladies, I feel like I've found a home! I'm in exactly the same boat.

We have 6 months to go and I can see DH rolling his eyes when I start talking about ADRs and FP+ etc.

We started saving for this holiday in 2012 and I've been planning since then. The park hours for our days are gradually coming online, so I go online each day and add the next day's set of hours to my spreadsheet. I have my planner too, so I can work out which days we go to which park, which of course affects the days we have ADRs, lol.

They have no idea how much planning goes into a WDW holiday! He sighed when I made him choose a magic band colour back in December lol.

My OH quite enjoyed designing his....

'You choose, not pink & just put whatever'

So I've chosen Green & put 'Tink' on it as that's what his mum called him as a kid ;) Might regret that later on! Haha!

Hahaha that's funny! You've given me ideas now for the next time he hacks me off lol.

Ha ha - :lmao: I think I might 'borrow' this idea if my DH shows no interest in his band (highly likely!). Grumpy springs to mind.... :rolleyes1

Ha! Definitely, we could have WDW full of men wandering around with all sorts of various Disney Characters :) A nice pink one with Aurora for example! :D
 
Love the Magic Band punishment - this is turning into the 'bad wives' thread.:lmao:
 
I just told my husband about it- he looked panicked and wanted to know what was on his band! ;-)

:rotfl2:

excellent....

I have visions now of all our OH's walking around with all sorts written inside their pink bands!!:rotfl:
 
Since booking my flights, all I want to do is PLAN! I know it's ridiculous as we have more than 18 months before we go. I have nobody to share my Disney addiction with at home - the kids don't know we are going and DH only 'half listens'.

Is it wrong that I have already shortlisted ADRs?:rotfl:

Hi there! :wave2:

You are definitely not alone!

We booked our WDW holiday last May (8 months ago!) and I have been planning since then! Still got 10 months to go (or 42 weeks)! :rotfl:

Our trip is for me, DH and DS who will be 4. We are going on 13.11.13 for 14days staying at Saratoga Springs. We got a really good deal, 35% off the villa and free dining plan which we then upgraded to the deluxe plan for an extra £800. It's lovely knowing that our hotel, flights, tickets and food are already paid for and all we need is spending money!

I keep myself going with milestones! The first one was waiting until the Flight dates / prices were released, which was December, once they were booked then I felt like it was even more 'real'! the next milestone for me is the 120days before when I can make dining reservations! :goodvibes

DS has already been to Disneyland Paris when he had just turned 2 and he LOVED it! Everyone kept telling us we were silly and he was too young to enjoy it which was totally wrong! He was an angel the whole time and ran up to all the characters to hug them and have photos taken, he was even tall enough to do quite a few rides. This time he will (obviously) be much taller and he will be able to ride things such as terror tower and big thunder mountain!

I have downloaded the WDW app on my ipad and I'm constantly looking at the restaurants and the menus! Always reading dining reviews too! :rotfl2:

My DH and I came over for our honeymoon in 2008 and, as we didn't have a dining plan, we stuck to counter service meals, with the odd table service meal thrown in! So this time, with the DDP, we get to try lots of places we never even looked at or considered last time.

I'm also booking tickets for universal studios and discovery cove, hopefully booking those this weekend, so another box ticked!

When are you going? I remember when we booked ours, it was 18 months in advance and I was so miserable that I had two birthdays to get through and two Halloweens!! :rotfl2: but now here we are at the end of January! I'm hoping to keep myself busy at work and lots of things in my calendar between now and November to make more little 'milestones'.

Anytime you need to scratch that planning / discussing itch, feel free to type away! I'm on here all the time and love hearing other people's plans and sharing the excitement:cheer2:

Although pretty new to these boards I am also a planaholic. My November cruise was booked almost a year ago but I have been planning even longer than that. DH got his leave approved for the bulk of our trip last September and I think I booked the townhouse last June!
I have also had a list of things I want to do and places I want to eat, as well as a list of snacks/foods to try for almost a year and a list of websites to sign up to for coupons.
We booked the flights a few weeks ago, and also picked up a few more accommodations in the Jan sales, so ditched the idea of renting DVC for a few nights after the cruise and booked Beach Club for half what DVC would cost and Floridays at 60% off. Still need to bookUniversal Hotel and park tickets. Oh and might be changing car hire, still trying to decide whether to split it and go without while onsite, but use shuttles to move accomm. Also bought new luggage and travel insurance last week.
I started my daily planner spreadsheet last week and I'm glad I did as i learned of a few things which seriously affect our plans.
My DH likes to know everything I have planned, after all he pays for it but he isn't interested in doing any research.
Although I seriously need to get to grips with MDE, I have no idea what I have to do to pick Magic Bands, but my spreadsheet has my ADR dates so on 26th April I will be booking our Chef Mickey breakfast for our first morning ;)
