Anyone Else Going Stir Crazy?

[BlackPearl695]

I have 37 days until I can reserve fastpasses for our July vacation and 36 days until I can make ressies for our November vacation. Wine and Dine 1/2 Marathon weekend we are registered for the 5K. MVMCP tickets are not on sale yet. Both trips are booked, mousekeeping envelopes are prepared, plane tickets are purchased for July, lists have been made for the important fastpasses, magic bands have been selected. Now we wait...

What do I do now?! I'm going nuts checking the boards every day for new ideas and information.

WHAT DO YOU DO WHILE YOU WAIT?

I'm with you. We leave July 5th and I'm going crazy. We sat down the other night and picked our FP+ now I just need to wait to book them. I also read the boards everyday to see when the 7 dwarf ride will open for FP+. that will change my plans some. I also hope they open the more than 3 FP+ by summer.

Hang in there, you are not alone!!

I'd like to actually plan a trip rather then guess when party dates will be and keep up with the seemingly weekly fp+ changes and having to adjust touring strategies. Very hard to stay positive and look forward to a "vacation" for me....

 

[GaSleepingBeautyFan]

I can't do much.
I am within my window to book FP+ and can't because our tickets haven't arrived from Undercover Tourist.
I think I'm done with ordering from them but that's another thread.

So I've been reading Mesaboy's thread on using FP+ to the fullest and that's about it. I did make some dining adjustments yesterday.

I've started planning my solo trip that I can hopefully go on this fall. I had to cancel my spring one.

Stir crazy is about right. I've already made most of my FP+, ADRs, and MB customization. All that's left to do is sit and wait...and wait, and wait, for the mail to arrive eventually. It's like watching paint dry. My brain is already on short-timer's syndrome and long gone on vacation without me. If time doesn't start going by faster, I might be calling up Disney CMs just to ask if they want to build a snowman.

 

[GillianP1301]

Pretty much the same as you, I go a bit stir crazy. I'm not until the end of August, so at this point, I'm just waiting on my FP+ window to open. In the mean time, I tinker around with personalized touring plans, even though I won't follow most of them - it just gives me something to obsess over.

Then I look and relook some more at my plan and debate changing things, but then change my mind when I realize I'm changing things just for the sake of changing them so I have something to do related to vacation planning.

I have issues, clearly.

It's nice to know that I'm not alone. I'm not going until September and I have nothing in the near future to book. All my ADR's are set. It's a surprise trip for my son so I can't even discuss it with the family. All I do is look on here and the WDW site to see if free dining is available and I am monitoring flight prices.

We're going in July to surprise my son at the US Open Karate Championships, so I can't talk about the trip much with anyone at home. It's so hard not to be able to ask opinions and share information that I've read about. So the wait is even more straining. I feel like I'm going to explode before vacation gets here.

Same boat over here.

Trip is 7/29

Resort booked

ADRs booked

Touring plans done (in prep for FP+ window - may revise later as needed)

Ready for FP+ reservations but still many days away from that...

Holding pattern stinks.

WHAT DO YOU DO WHILE YOU WAIT?

I start tweaking and second guessing and fiddling with ADRs.

Hurry up September!!

 

[keypooh90]

I'm going stir crazy too. I will be there for a quick trip June 7-June 9 before I check in to begin my college program. I've done mostly all that I can do and am basically sitting here doing nothing. It's too early to buy what I need for my program and so I'm just sitting here dreaming and wishing.

 

[DisneyHardin]

Right there with you. We are going Nov 4th, so I am just under a month from ADR day, but of course that them all planned out. I customized our Magic Bands the other day already. Just waiting for Southwest to open November dates so I can get the airfare booked.

 

[BlackPearl695]

Ugh! 29 days till we can make ressies for November, 30 days till fastpass+ opens up for July. Spoke to a CM yesterday about MVMCP dates and pricing and was told the information would be coming VERY soon. Also asked about November specials being posted anytime soon and was told there would be some very magical offers coming late spring early summer. Going bonkers here! Today I ordered an In Room Celebration for my son's birthday. I'm running out of ideas to keep me sane for the next 29 days! HELP!!! I may just have to call Disney everyday just to say hello!

 

[izzylovesmickey]

or else I'll change something else! Have changed the room reservation twice (started w/CSR, moved to BC standard view, now BC Club level lagoon view), added a day so could stay at Universal one night, changed the flights 2x's, switched ADRs four times and still have 24 days to go until can book FPs. Way too much time to go and I'll probably change something else! Driving the family nuts planning and replanning!

 

[erikamacelroy]

172 days till my trip! Its awful waiting but the disboards do help the time go by. ADR's are all booked...can't wait to get out of triple digits!!!!

 

[BlackPearl695]

Ugh! Time goes by sooooo slow when you are planning a Disney vacation! I'm out of ideas. I've been over our plans for July and November, changed things, changed them back, looked into other dining options, planned excursions, shopped at my local Disney Store and called Disney just to say hi. Unless MVMCP tickets go on sale soon, I have 17 days before I can make any more plans. Got any more ideas?

 

[LMN]

45 more days till we check in!! I am in a holding pattern too and going stir crazy myself! Package paid off, ADR's made, FP+ made (with the exception of 7MT). Now looking for things to keep us busy! DD14 and I are going to design/make matching t-shirts for the family to wear our first SWW day and thinking about having characters sign a pillowcase instead of autograph books this trip.

 

[luvthemouse71]

I have two days left, and it's dragging!

 

[Jennasis]

September can't get here fast enough.

 

[winniepie81]

I have until sept 30th. It is really dragging!! Especially now we have paid off the holiday, it feels like it should be much sooner!!
It probably doesn't help that we went in May last year, so keep thinking its May again this year!!
We have a few little local trips over the summer so that might speed things up!!
In the meantime I love nosing around on you tube and the trip reports on here are obviously great too!!
