I can hardly stand the wait!!!

[Yvette Q.O.D.]

What do you do to keep yourself focused on the real world when your trip to Disney World is just around the corner?

I sometimes find it very difficult. I've been obsessing on the packing, and making lists. I want to pack everything now but we don't own enough clothing (well some of us might) to do that. We are leaving in 11 days and I find myself obsessing also on the things I have yet to pick up for the trip. I feel like I'll spend a fortune before I go to WDW and spend another fortune.

Calgon take me away! LOL

I'll take a deep breath now. I know....the anticipation and planning is part of the fun. Can you tell I'm having fun. (really I am!! )

So does anybody else get as antsy as me or what?

I'm feeling the same exact way!!!! We have countdown calendars all over the house and suitcases everywhere.... I can't hardly stand myself, I'm not sure who's more excited, me or the kids.... Only 7 more days, THANK GOD!!! Have a good trip!!

We're down to four days and I am constantly running lists in my head. Today we shop for all of the last minute neccessities and Friday nights pre-Disney dinner (there are 9 of us).
I feel your pain and excitement and anticipation. Each day at work I think this is the last Monday I have to work before going to Disney.
HAVE FUN!

 

[DBarber600]

ME TOO!

I keep telling my kids they can't wear their clothes, I've packed them, LOL!

I can't wait.

At least I've got the final episodes of Lost, 24, and American Idol to keep me busy over the next couple of days. This weekend I'll have to do laundry and pack. But, what about Thursday and Friday?

Bouncy for DD2 and DD5 .

I really have to stop posting on the DIS with my kids around...

 

[kellyf2626]

I feel that same way!! I am sitting here watching home-movies of our trip from last year!! I don't know how I am going to make it these last 10 days!!!

 

[NeedaVacation03]

We are down to our last 10 days also
I am glad that I am not the only one focused on disney. We haven't been in 7 years and I can't wait to get back.
Hopefully it can become a yearly event.
Well, one thing at a time.

 

[MagicMe]

Just want to wish all you soon to be travelers a great vacation!!!

I have a while to go. Seems like forever but I know that it will be here (and over) before I know it.

HAVE A GREAT TRIP!!!!

 

[Yvette Q.O.D.]

Over the last 14 years we've collected about 4 or 5 of the trip planning videos. While I do house work or packing I'll pop a tape in and watch how things have changed in the World. Between that and home movies it's a good "fix".

10 days to go!!!

I've got a huge master list and every time I pack something I put a blue hi-lite mark on it. It's starting to be kinda pretty. Can't wait till the whole thing is blue.

I think my kids are handleing the anticipation a lot better than me. They haven't even asked to start packing yet.

I hope everyone has a great and safe trip!!!

By the way tomorrow it will be 9 days!!!

I am leaving my house at 5:30am. I am trying not to go nuts sitting here tonight. I hope i can sleep!

 

[sammielynn]

We are leaving at 6:00 in the morning! Yesterday was a hard day the boys could not get around to doing anything but griping about driving through Georgia. Today may be hard... But we have to shop, clean and finish packing. We usually leave the day the guys get out of school and this year we waited a week, it's been a long week. But look out here we come!!!!!

 

[disneyluv4]

Me too!! All I want to do is look at the internet!! I can not wait, I can hardly stand it! We leave tommorrow to spend the night before we fly out!! We are pretty much packed and such!!

 

[disneykid4ever]

I am anxious and excited all the time with lists in my head and things to pack piled up in our extra bedroom . . . and we don't leave until January 1st!! It's a sickness I tell you! There should be a 12-step! lol

 

[JuneDisney]

I've got 16 days. How I envy all of you. I sooo want to start packing, that it is driving me nuts I have already thrown all of my shorts in the suitcase and a few items I have picked up at the store. I'm trying to be a few things here and a few things there to give me a little thrill here and there. Like yesterday, I went to the Disneystore and picked up $50 in Disneydollars for the boys to split (allowance accumulated over the last 2 months) and I also picked up 2 autograph books, which were 25% off .
After payday, I'll pick up the bugspray, sunscreen, ponchos, etc...
I know the last few days will go fast. I'm room mother for my DS 1st grade class and we have the end of the year party the day before our trip. So of course I having baking to do, laundry, packing, cleaning the house and who knows what else So basically everything has to be done 2 days before we leave. I could kick my DS scout leader for having a meeting on the last day of school. We can't miss it because they are working on 4 achievements that night. But I think at least that day we will all be exhausted enough to sleep
Sorry I have gone on and on on your post, but it felt good to vent. Nobody here wants to hear me talk about Disney
Hope all of you have a great trip!!!!!!!

We leave in 30 days and I have been reading everything that I can on this board to try and see where to eat and plan our days. We will be there for my son's 11th b-day and now I know where to get his b-day pin and all kinds of other things, this has been great!

 

[snowwhitesmom]

We're going to be there at the same time, iluvtigger06! Where are you staying?

 

[AnneMcD]

14 days until I leave and I feel like I am going to just burst with excitement! haha! I saw a piece of my dog's food in his dish yesterday and it looked like Mickey! I thought, "oh no, I am seeing Mickey everywhere now!" I have started my lists and set out a few things to pack. And of course I come here everyday reading all about other people's trips knowing that I too will soon be there. Hope everyone has a great trip!!!

 

[herodrx1]

8 days left for me!! I've had the suitcase in the bedroom for a month. It's almost full of "stuff" and I havn't even started with the clothes.

I hope you all have a safe and wonderful trip!!

 

[iluvtigger06]

We are staying at Shades of Green, my daughter is in the military and we get all the benefits of staying on property..

 

[Sweedee]

should contain all the Disney crazies!!!! I have to admit that I packed on the Saturday morning before we left that afternoon. I didn't have any plans or anything...we had our ADR's and that was it! I think it will be the same way this time as well. I just can't "pack" for a trip DAYS in advance! I get way too stressed.
