I can't wait for the trip...how do I make time pass faster?!

[Wavy Blue]

I leave for California three weeks from today, and I just CANNOT sit still! I've already listened to my DL music a ton, listened to lots of Disney podcasts, read several books about DL, and talked rides and eating plans with my friends, but it feels like I've run out of things to do! I don't know how I'm going to make it through three more weeks!

How do you pass the time when you are waiting for your DL trip?

Are we there yet? Are we there yet?

Check out some of the sites that feature DL's past like Yesterland.com, you can learn all kinds of things about the history of the park and then when you are there you can say, "this is where the.... used to be" kind of stuff.

 

[Wavy Blue]

Will do! My sister also lent me a huge DL book called the Nickel Tour that I read about a third of before my last trip...maybe I'll try getting into that again. Disneyland history is fascinating! I've read both Mouse Tales and More Mouse Tales in the past few weeks...and they were hilarious! I highly recommend them, lol.

oh my, as the time ticked down for us, it sped by way too fast! (knowing it would be all over then!)
We watched a lot of Disney DVDs, planned our days, watched the official Disney planning DVD...
we love pin collecting (rather than trading), so we went on the official website to see which pins were out that we might want to get.
.....and DIS DIS DIS!!!!!! We looked at all the food threads, pict. threads, etc.
That is what got us most excited!!
HAVE FUN anticipating your trip!

Hey Wavy Blue - You could do what I do...worry too much and create issues that aren't there about the trip!

All the "what ifs".

You mean like...what if our plane ticket vouchers don't work for some reason? My worst fears in the world are of whatever could stop my Disney trip from happening, hehe.

If anyone can figure out a way to make the time go by faster please let me know haha, i've been counting down to when I can make dining reservations, don't know what I will do when I just have to trip to countdown too.

My fear this morning was realizing we don't have tickets that allow us to use magic morning...trying to get to ride Nemo!
This afternoon I ran around looking for Unofficial Guide to DL and two book store are sold out!
My old book has the pages for touring plans ripped out! What will I do now...LOL

Wanna share worries with me? That will make the time just fly by!!

PS - I see you will be there around the time we will...walk the other way if you see a 40 something woman in complete meltdown! (just kidding - I take care of all my meltdowns before I get on the plane. Then I think - Have a good time!)

 

[Wavy Blue]

I'm afraid of riding Nemo, too! Luckily I'll be going on weekdays so hopefully the lines won't be too bad...but anything over 90 minutes I refuse to wait for!

And I'll look out for you, haha. But hopefully you won't be having a melt down. IT IS Disneyland, after all!

It's simple actually, thing of your trip in years (See you have less than a year to go. or less than 1/10 of a decade to go
or less than 1/12 of a year. etc )

I'm thinking a cryogenic coma would suit me best!

*** Ok maybe not cryogenic, wouldn't want any frostbite on certain extremities if ya know what I mean!

Ya know, that idea isn't half bad...now I just have to figure out how to induce a coma!

 

[RudemanRB]

I have 7 Days left, before my WDW trip. you want to talk about time standing still LOL

I could use a mild coma.

I'm looking forward to my trip but don't want time to pass too fast. DH and I are both teachers with the summer off. Summer goes way too fast as it is and I am enjoying each and every day!

What Disney podcasts do you recommend??? I am in Australia so I am a little clueless...

 

[Wavy Blue]

Well, it depends on what you are looking for. Here's a couple I like:

Magic Never Ends: Two Disney fans, Will and Shannon, discuss Disney parks (DL and WDW) and feature park audio clips.

Bringing Disneyland Home: Oakfan features video ride throughs of several of Disneyland's most classic attractions.

Adventures of a Teenage Disney Geek: Hilarious Keegan features park audios of him and his family at WDW.

The Big D: Features video from both WDW and DL.
