[mommyceratops]

Got my Crocs

I don't leave until Dec!!

NOW What do I do??

Ok I do have Candlelight res to look forward too!!

Guess I will just watch Playhouse Disney and brainwash my children some more!!

 

[Kitka]

Get the unofficial guide, predict crowd levels and make a spread sheet of which parks to attend which days, cross reference them with your ADR's, color code them, plan outside activities that fit withinyour schedule...

oh wait, that's just the craziness that filled MY time before going LOL.

I hate to admit it done that!! Yes cross checked my ADR's with crowd levels.

But I have not color coded!! Good idea!!!

Anything to do to keep me planning!!

 

[KJF]

I'm in the same boat as you!! Plan made, ADR's made, MVMCP tickets already came in the mail. And now I'm trying to also brainwash the kids!! All I want to watch are the Disney videos - I think I'm going to drive them nuts!!

Of course though, the only left to happen now is for SW airlines to open the dates for Dec flights!!

Oh my goodness! I thought I was the only compulsive one who did this!!! My co-workers teased me endlessly...my family thinks I'm nuts.

Just keep reading the boards!

 

[mom2taylorandemily]

I am sooooo relieved that I am not the only one who does this. My DH thinks I am nuts. I sit on these boards every night trying to read the posts to him, and he just nods UH HUH at me. I think I am boring him. Oh well, it will all be worth it.

 

[mommyceratops]

Oh no I am just as compulsive!

I took my DS to the library this weekend and he wanted a Disney book. Our library stinks so I was not sure what they had and we got a WDW 25 year book he is having so much fun looking at the pictures and talking about the rides!!

Brainwashing all I can Now if I can only get my DS off his spiderman kick?!

 

[LegoMom3]

Hang out here!!!

Love to see that others are planning, planning, and replanning their trips. Then, stressing about the plans that you just changed. I thought that I was the only person to change our plans almost daily.

Excuse me, but until you have created detailed packing lists -- with lists of each item of clothing by category for each member of your party, and each item destined for a specific, numbered piece of luggage, and each of those further defined as CO for carryon and CCH for checked, then honey, you are not done!

-- Says Crazy Travel Planning Lady, also known by my Indian name, Makes Travel Lists.

No really, once you start making the lists, I'm sure you will find that you are NOT done, and there are things that you still need. In fact you will continue to discover things you "need" (which other people might view as "want" but they aren't reading this!) every minute until you are there.

PS, the planning and listing does not actually mean that I am ready to go when the time comes. I'm still up past 1 am finsihing laundry and packing. Don't ask why -- life retains little enough mystery.

 

[mommyceratops]

So I stopped by DH work and met 2 people going down to WDW in a couple weeks and have planned NOTHING!!!

HOW???!!!

Ok off to go find a highlighter, color coding is a GREAT idea!!

 

[teamagic]

Westwingkath - I really understand. On our last trip in April, I had a list for everything. DH joked that I needed a list to keep track of all my lists and he can't understand how with all the planning that I am up to 1 or 2 am trying to get everything ready for the trip. Oh well, I am usually late for everything. Two kids just don't help the situation.

 

[mom2taylorandemily]

I am serious, my DH keeps telling me that I am taking all the suprises out of it for him. He just wants to find things as we get there, not me boy, I plan out what time we get up, eat and everything else in between until we go back to bed at night.
Hey I just noticed your screen name, are you a NASCAR fan too!!! I think maybe we really are related!!!!!!

Ok, I need someone to tell me how you do that? We didn't plan much of anything the first time we went, we had no books or anything, we just flew by our coat tails and we had a good time, but we missed soooooo much. On 2nd trip we were a little better prepared. OH but we still missed stuff and then there was the stuff we didn't even know about. For this trip, I began over a year in advance searching for stuff that I thought I might like to do and take DD's to. I feel so much better prepared and ready to go. I have paced our days and planned our nights, some late and some early, so kids get rest too. Oh how do you go with no plan????

Maybe you can plan their trip. Seriously aren't you due to change your adr's or something.

It seems like I get mine all figured out and I decide I want to change the time or something.

Love the color coding. I highlighted my travel books and put flags on the ride lists. Green means all can go. Yellow proceed with caution.

mom2taylorandemily - Are you a NASCAR nut too?

: Guess I will just watch Playhouse Disney and brainwash my children some more!!

ROFL!!!!!!!!!! Our son, now 16, is STILL obsessed (I LOVE IT)! I attribute it to all those years of planning videos, WDW specials (that we have recorded, of course), and watching our own vacation videos. He has to have Disney music on while in the car (well, when friends are not with us)! Our 19 y.o. is not anywhere as obsessed, but he is coming back down with us this summer!
