Help...I need rehab

[Steph9072]

Well not really but it seems like I have a planning addiction. All of our ARD's are made. We got our packets today. I have planned which parks on what days. I have narrowed cs meals down for each park. Even researched snack. But I still am obsessed. Is there like a 12 step program for planning

No seriously does anyone else obsessively plan and re-plan?

me.... lol

I think its a disney thing Im so bad im trying to talk my sisters into going to Disney so i can plan theres..... Lmao!

there is just something about making plans for my family at the happiest place on earth.... lol and then there is the fact im a major control freak


I say enjoy it!! i love the rush of getting the ADR i want hehehe

I enjoy planning. Then seeing the outcome ie: smile on my kids faces is awesome. This will be our first WDW trip (I have been but not our family) so I think that is why I am planning so much for this trip I want it to be perfect.

Don't feel bad. I am the same way. We leave in 16 days and I can hardly wait. It seems like the only thing that will pass the time is planning (or should I say re-planning!) I have everything planned as well. It sounded like you were talking about my in your OP. Nice to know I am not alone!

I do!!! WE know the paks like the back of our hands yet I still come on the boards on a daily basis (almost ). I'm horrible.

I too, am a serious over-planner, I just can't stop. I really try for a couple of days, and then I'll think of something else, and I'm back to planning again.

I LOVE DISNEY !!!! Who can blame me, really?!

Good luck quitting , if you find anything that works, please let us know.

It must be something about Disney that just brings out the obsessive planner in most of us. I have our itinerary done months and months in advance...then I ponder if I should add or change things-I think I make myself crazy! Actually, it is when we do a last minute trip to Disney that I get thrown into a tailspin. Anyhoo...your not alone, I think most of us on the board are a bit compulsive when Disney is involved. You have plenty of company!

I love to plan...it's almost a hobby. We have 100 days left so I'm sure our plans will change, then change, then change again. It's still fun though.

I was an obsessive planner for our first trip to Disney over Spring Break. We had a great time! Now I feel lost though, not sure what to do with myself...so I just wander aimlessly around the DIS...

 

[jjms97]

Me too! I have so many other things I should be doing right now! But I tell myself, just a little planning then back to the chores!

You're not alone!!

My husband is worried about me!

I want to have it all planned out. I'm sure some things won't go as planned, but at least I have some sort of order.

Let me know about the rehab program-I'm gonna need it!

 

[Steph9072]

OH my dh says that I am obsseseive. Yeah I know that . That I spend too much time planning. But if I don't who will. Plus I wouldn't let anyone else!

DH used to complain about my obsessive planning...still does to a degree, but that is only when he is looking for some quality time and I am in my Disney mode. After the very first trip though, he was VERY happy that I had everything all planned out. He's the type that says, "just tell me where to be and when". He is what I would call the anti-planner. He also admits that we would not do or experience half the things we do at Disney if it were not for my control freak type research and planning. So I guess in the end there is a positive side to it all.

And that is why the DIS boards are so crazily popular - Type A, OCD people like us!!! I start planning and review daily/weekly at least 8 months in advance!! Got my 8:10 reservation for Cinderella's Royal Table for October 23rd at 7am this morning!! YAY!!! That is what makes it so wonderful and magical!!!
