How's this for planning...or lack thereof

[RebeccaB]

First off...15 daaaaaaaaaays!!!

Alrighty. Here's what I have planned so far:

Got a sub for the 3.5 days of school I'm missing.
Booked our flights down.
We're going down the night before and staying at the hotel in the airport then hopping ME in the morning.
I have dining adr's for 6 of our trip days.
We're going to MNSSHP Thurs, Oct 4.
My daughter's costume is almost finished.

Now..for the things I haven't done yet:

Got the things needed for hubs and my costume for MNSSHP. At least I know what we're going to be.
Buy tickets to the MNSSHP.
Book our flight home (somehow this seems important!)
Book our one night hotel room (gonna do this tonight).
Call ME and tell em when we're going to be riding.
Pack.
Check park hours
Check refurb schedules.

I usually have a notebook jam packed with info, such as park hours, ride closures/refurbs, info about the resort,etc and so on. I think I may be burned out on the planning.

Who else has a boatload of crap left to do and little time to do it in? I can't be alone in this.

I will be there Oct 25th-29th. I just registered on this site tonight, Im quite overwhelmed!! I have done nothing but bought plane tix & reservations at Pop Century, hopper passes & meal plan. I just turned 40 yrs old, hubby is 40 & my 2 daughters are 8 & 10. Also bringing my 85 year young father, 71 year old mother & inlaws in their 70s. Oh boy? LoL...I went to Magic Kingdom when i was in 6th grade with my parents & that's it!!!

My biggest piece of advice for newbies is DO NOT TRY TO DO IT ALL!
Last year on the Magical Express I was talking to a mom with 3 young girls and she was seriously overwhelmed and stressed out, before they even got to their resort.

This will be our 7th trip, and there are several things I haven't done yet. This year I am bound to ride Astro Orbitors at MK.

There's just so much to see and do in Disney, it's seriously impossible to do everything, unless you want to lose your mind. You should have a great time!!
