***October 2012 Thread*** MNSSHP + Food & Wine - Does It Get Any Better?

[HeatherLassell]

I'm going by my widget and a ticker from **************. Maybe Disney's site isn't incorporating the leap year? And according to this you're at 290 http://www.wdwinfo.com/countdownlist2.cfm

I think the Disney site *is* incorporating the leap year because that means there is one EXTRA day next year (not less)... Right?

Ok I had to go and figure it out....

Dec 18 days left of Dec (has 31 days)
Jan 31 days
Feb 29 days (due to LEAP YEAR!)
Mar 31 days
Apr 30 days
May 31 days
Jun 30 days
Jul 31 days
Aug 31 days
Sep 29 days till the trip (has 30 days)
______________
273 +18 remaining days in December = 291

I'm still over 300!

Most of my trips I plan really short notice so this is really strange for me to be planning even before the 180 day mark. I hope it means I can get all our restaurant choices! I have a TON I want to visit... I've named most of them in my PTR but I am once again talking to myself over there...

Don't think that way! Just write your PTR for yourself! That's what I do! Sometimes I post 5 or 6 posts before someone comments!

I'm subbed to your ptr but seeing as how I haven't been there in 15 years I can't comment on restaurants and the like...cause I don't know. But when I have something relevant to say I will!

The Disney website always tells me that I have 319 days left. I don't think it's changed since I booked my trip.


Even though it's still far away. I'm already getting excited. We were going to drive down, but now we are thinking we might fly instead. We've decided that we aren't going to tell the kids about that though, so that part will be a surprise. (I talk about WDW way too much to keep the trip itself a secret. )

Heather, you're counting 29 days in September? You're leaving on the 29th aren't you? So why would you count that day? On the 29th, it wouldn't be 1 day until WDW. You'd be leaving that day. Make sense? I think Disney's counter is off.

It counts the day you arrive. Since you're counting down till the day of the trip. No? lol I dislike math. I counted today plus the remaining days of dec plus all the days between now and the 29th of Sept. I need a coffee!

Oh I don't count the day I arrive so that explains it! Wonder why Disney counts the day you arrive? There's no more waiting, you're there!

It does that to me too. I have to log in again for it to update.

Oh yes me too. I have to re-log in to make the time remaining change too!

I just wanted to pop in and say thanks for giving me a good laugh on the 290 vs 291 days left debate.

Though, I also agree you would not count the day you arrive as "1 day left" - that doesn't make any sense! If I were going to Disney TODAY, I would not say "1 day left until I am at Disney!!".

But anyway I thought the debate was funny to read along to!

289 days!!!!!!!



In other news my back hurts soooooo bad! It's been about 2 weeks. My bed isn't that old and I've been taking sleeping pills this week because I've had insomnia for a month and couldn't take it anymore! I'm not sure if I just need to go see a massage therapist or if I need a chiropractor? I've NEVER been to a chiropractor and they kinda scare me. Any advice?

I feel your pain..quite literally! I swear by my chiro! He has gotten me back on my feet, again..quite literally..time and again. I know a lot of people that are afraid of going to one, but I can't imagine my life without mine. It would be all pain meds and a bad liver because of it. Good luck, I hope that you are feeling better soon...and can get some decent sleep too!

Thanks! I think it's a fear just because I've seen some of the adjustments done and they look scarey.

I would go see an orthopedist first and then maybe see a chiro. A chiro could make it worse depending on what's wrong. Hope you feel better soon!

This will be our first trip to the World during the F&W festival and I am painfully excited. We'll also be doing MNNSHP if anyone has insights on either.
