Is that a spreadsheet in your pocket or are you going to Disney? A June 2011 PTR

[creativeamanda]

The spreadsheet. A DIS staple. The one item that no planner leaves home without. For years, since my second trip to Disney, I have made, edited, revamped, and overhauled my trip binder and spreadsheet. The Disney box is one item of holy grail in my trip planning. The spreadsheet is my Disney trip Bible. I could walk out of the house with nothing more than my spreadsheet and be okay. It's my map of sorts--the guidance for all of my activities.

As of today, Disney has not published their hours for the month of June. I have not really even looked at more than pricing. But I know we are going.

Our details?

I get the passporter, but I never really use it! I preordered the Deluxe edition this year, and I'm going to see how I can incorporate my spreadsheet into it. I believe I'll have to shrink it down and then hand punch, but I think it will work and be more handy than that humongous binder I usually use.

LOL--when he saw I used that picture, he told me he was going to delete it from my hard drive. Good thing I have backups and he doesn't know my photobucket password.

What am I saying? He knows it and all of my passwords. Time to do a backup on my home drive at work. . .

Next, Flame Tree and LTT??! .... Dan! -- you're my new Disney BFF!

HEY!

Well that was short-lived....your three items trump his two. Sorry Dan....

Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, I didn't know! Hope everything is okay!

She broke her tooth and the fix may not stick. The first bil isn't bad, but we don't know what may or may not happen, so, I thought a December trip may be a bad thing.

 

[bayleebugs_mom]

We will be there when you are there! I too love scrapbooking and cannot function without my spreadsheet....we must have known each other in a past life! Looking forward to your report!!!
