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?
Hi there!
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)!
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!
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!
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!!

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
