Mushumadness Pre Trip Madness

[mushumadness]

Well we are down to 26 days, and its all sections go!

Characters: Me (Anna) 23, mad planner and constant panicker (real leader)
Boyfriend (Chris) needs the gun range!! thinks hes in charge

This will be my 19th trip home, and Chris's 4th trip

Pre trip planning has consisted of,

Booking through TCD (I have heard of the problems but have flown 3 times and had none with them) flights have changed to be 11am on december 3rd, straight to sanford, Staying at Disneys Pop Century, Oh and most importantly flying sunshine first!! woohoo,
Cars booked as a full size luxury, with full platimun insurance.

After booking all the travel parts I started to um and arr over whether to stay at the airport or not? well that was decided by chris, so off on the net we went and booked in at the manchester airport hilton. So that was that sorted.

About a month after booking it dawned on me we were really going to wdw!!! (as we had originally booked the dominican republic) and that I needed to start booking meals as soon as 90 days came up,,

fast forward to 90 days mark, took the day off work to call for crt breakfast, got straight through which was a relief, and got a good time. the same 90 day booking carried on for two weeks (unfortunatly I had to be at work and ended up calling on my mobile to the tune of £157)
But thankfully booked everything we wanted including illuminations cruise

On to the tickets, we added the dates up with our already booked september 2006 trip and decided the best bet was to get annual passes for both wdw and universal, so out come the visa and theyre booked, same with mvmcp (twice!!)

I hope I arnt doing too badly for a first time pre trip writer.

Now we are down to 26 days, I am itching to get the cases down, all clothes money, bags, christmas presents are bought and sorted, everything just needs packing.

Hairdresser is booked for december 2nd, day booked off work,

all systems are definatly go

OMG Anna, your pre-trip report has made my holiday seem so near so you must be mega-excited, you've certainly got everything organised (especially with our Christmas Tree - which I am so thrilled about too). A great start to your trippies and I am NOT looking forward to reading the rest of you reports cos it will mean that we're both back !! 26 days to go, well that will go in a flash - have a fab time Anna & Chris

Glad to see someone else is very well organised Anna, now, is it time for those nagging feelings of "what have I forgotten?"

Enjoyed your pre-trip report, Anna. Can't believe how organised you are, especially about buying the Christmas presents!! Well done, and I hope it feels like your holiday comes round really quickly.

Hope you have a lovely trip!

I wrapped a large box in Disney paper (FORCED to buy new boots to get a box big enough ) and put stuff in there as I got it - money belt, waterparks holder, travel plug etc. - so everything was together.

I found the box when I was tidying up and refused to allow DH to bin it - I might need it again (one day)

A 'pre-trip' report, ummm sounds like a good idea

Now, how can I convert my 20 page trip planning document and 3 sheet Excel spreadsheet plan into into a DIS pre-trip report post
