[bellenbuzz]

Need Tips, Advice, Comments......
Leaving for WDW in 18 days. Is there anything specific I need to be doing right now ??!!!
I'm getting anxious!
ADR's are made, we are staying at POR.....
Guess I could start putting stuff in suitcases, huh??!!
After all the planning, I'm getting nervous that I forgot something !!

Make a list of things you need, and worry about it 2 days before.

Watch some planning videos for fun.

What??? You only have 18 days before your trip and you're not completely packed yet? Are you nuts?

It's time to just relax and wait for the Magic. Enjoy watching some old Disney movies to get you in the mood for characters, or watch an old planning DVD or VHS tape. That always gets me in the right frame of mind. You can always call CRO and make sure all your room requests are in place. Being here on the DIS is probably your best medicine while your waiting.

Good luck, we leave in 31 days and can't wait.

First, you must dance.. , then, we will dance with you... , finally, make some lists. Who cares if you don't stick to them? I make countless lists denoting what everyone will wear (down to my undies - seriously), what needs to be done in the house on which day to prepare for the trip, what toiletries are needed - etc etc etc. Just have fun with it. Your trip is almost here. Next week you can begin playing the "this time next week" game which is much more fun than the "this time last week" game.

Have a great trip!!!

Did you make your run to Target for all your travel items?

If you are going crazy waiting, get a disney board game. My DD loves the Disney version of Guess Who, Scene It (if your kids are probably 6 +), & the MK game. She also has easier games like Princess memory, Princess Monopoly, & Spinning Wishes.

I have 23 days to go, and I just made my daughter a coloring book, and I am starting my lists for what I need. Travel items, camera tapes, etc.
I also am traveling with my parents this time, so we have to do a dry run to see if all our luggage fits so we can travel together to the airport.
I also made a paper chain for my kids so we can see how fast the trip is coming.
Oh, by the way I am so excited!!!!!!!!!!!
As all of you going soon can relate!!
I am so thankful to have these boards as no one else I know gets as excited and they thing I am nuts. A disney nut.

You should be doing this...

 

[doodlebugs]

If you are on the dining plan, you should be dieting.

One word....SAVOR....

Savor your last few days of planning....savor every second at WDW...enjoy each moment...

Because as soon as its over...you'll miss it terribly.

I just wanted to say that I will celebrate 18-days-to-go with you, because I also an leaving in 18 days!!!

The only thing we have going right now is a paper chain. I wont pack until a few days prior because we have family coming into town on Sat that will be here until the 4th.

Not much longer!!

I would do like another poster suggested and maybe go buy all the items you need for your trip (like toothpaste, soap and other small items you may need). Make a trip to the bank and get some $1's so that you can tip the mousekeeping and bus drivers and such. I have had my lists made for months so maybe you already have a running list. Make changes to it as necissary. Also, I like to lay out my outfits for each day on the floor and take pics so I know what pieces of clothes I need to pack. Of course I change my mind all the time so I bring extra clothes as well.

I would start getting your vacation supplies (batteries, film, ponchos, etc.) Watch some Disney movies, maybe the Planning DVD to get yourself in the mood.

 

[oogie boogie]

Dancing (already mentioned) and making a checklist and putting moles feet at the top of the list (for those loooooooooooooooooong days at the park)!!!

 

[Becky521]

You should be doing this...

I agree. You should definitely be doing this......

 

[Micca]

If you are going to break in new shoes, now's the time. Also, try getting some sleep.

If you're sending stuff ahead of you to your resort, you might want to make sure you have a big enough box, then start packing it up. You won't need to send it more than a week before you leave, though.

I have seen this before about sending stuff to the resort, just what do people send ahead?
I was just curious.....

How about hitting the treadmill to build up your leg muscles. Then hit the chair to build up your sitting muscles. Scream alot now, so you don't get hoarse on the rides and then, well, then start working on your alcohol tolerence....
