I Don't Think I can Stand It Anymore!!

[Lucy6]

Two weeks from today we will be beginning our very first trip to WDW and I don't think I can stand the wait anymore! We have been planning this trip for over a year now, and I can't believe it's only two weeks away. I believe I am at planning saturation, I've changed my PS's around due to changes in EMH, and due to differences in opinions from these boards. I think I have the best plan I can now, I've even planned some spontaneous time
I am so thankful for these boards, I have learned way more from you all than from any book(and I have five of them).
I do believe I have too many PS's though, but I tried to have a plan B on some days. Do I need to cancel leftover PS's once I'm there, or is it OK to just not show up? Counting the days!!

It will be alright. Just remember the last 2 weeks will seem like time has stood still. Enjoy that time. You don't want your time to fly by too quickly now do you.

One thing you should do is the day your going to MK, go to Chef Mickey's that morning. It is a blast and a great way to start the day....

The first trip to the World is always so exciting! Cherish the memory!!

Don't worry about over planning! I always over plan, I like it that way!!

It sounds like you have a good idea of what you want to see and do. The main thing to remember is that it will never really go as planned and be ready to toss the plan out the window and go with the flow. You have done your homework so well that you will know what you really need to be doing and when.

As far as the priority seating ressies, it is always nice to cancel them as soon as you know that you are not going to go. Although nothing 'bad' will happen if you don't!

Have fun! I am so excited for you!!

I'm so excited for you and your family!!!!

These two weeks will be hard, but here is what you can do because they will go faster than you know. Make sure you have everything you want to take with you. If you have already started packing, make sure you have a list and cross things off as they go into their suitcase or bag. This really helps calm last-minute nerves!

Have you done any of teh fun countdown stuff, like made a countdown chain or bought little things to surprise the kiddos with? Maybe sit down one night and watch the planning video as a family.

Just enjoy the fact that you are double digit, almost single digit dancing!!!

Like everyone else said just try to enjoy the time you have left. Before you know if you'll be saying "just 2 weeks ago we were in Disney World".

How exciting! We recently went on our first trip to WDW in December and it was SO amazing. We're planning on returning in Oct.-Nov. You'll absolutely love WDW, it was more than I ever imagined! Soon you'll be running down Main Street and spending time with Mickey. You're going to have a wonderful time!

I'm sooo happy for you. Even with all the info you have gathered, and all the pics you've seen, NOTHING will prepare you for how awesome it really is! Enjoy every "Magical" second of it! Sending some pixi dust your way......

Thank you all so much for the good wishes so far, now I am even more excited! I have tried to stay away from negative threads, love to keep that glass half-full! My kids are 5 and 9, and they are totally pumped, they have never even flown before,so there are so many firsts coming up.

I'll be there the same time, arriving on the 25th. Altough I have been many times in my life, this will be our second time with our kids, and we are surprising them. I feel that the last 2 weeks or so have been dragging, and I fear the next 14 days will be worse!! (I can't talk to the kids about how excited I am...it is a surprise!!!) I am just hoping to make it to the 24th!!!!!!

As others have said, try to relax and enjoy your trip, Disney is truly magical!!!
