october trip driving poor husband crazy

[fluffykalie]

I have made our trip so complicated on him. I talked him into flying then moved our dates slightly to get cheaper flights. i also booked a dvc rental so changeing the dates slightly has caused us to have to stay at three hotels not two. I maxed out the credit card for plane tickets well he was sleeping. Im going to work overtime this month to get it paid off. I dont like fees or intrest.
We both love disney and of course our kids do so I know we are going to have a awsome trip. We can let disney move our bags from hotel to hotel to hotel well we are at the parks . plus it will be awsome to see three diffrent resorts. I want to stay at all of them eventaly.

i feel for you. My family and i are going in October and i think about it every day. i've actually already started packing. i have my Disney shirts for each day, ears, disney hair and jewelry. Even bought a pair of Disney crocs on ebay. We're staying at Boardwalk Villas, but then decided to come in a day early, so my sister booked us for one night at the Wilderness Lodge Villas.

i think i might like the planning part as much as the trip. i have a binder that includes all our reservation, flight, and restaurant information. i put in our maps, and even made Mousekeeper envelopes for the tips for our maids. i did this last time, two years ago, and it was very helpful to be so organized with everything in one folder.

i'm also buying Disney gift cards each time i go to the grocery store. It will be a relief to have so much paid for by the time we get there.

Same here...minus maxing out CCs because we don't have any. We used our tax return to fund our trip, one less thing to worry about! Not that I'm done adding extras by any means...BBB reservation for DD, MNSSHP for all of us...it keeps coming lol.

A binder sounds like a good idea, I have everything on an Excel spreadsheet right now. Seriously love planning but it's making me so anxious! We will be there 10/3-10/7. Wish we would stay longer.

My cousin did a spreadsheet showing all our reservations for each day. i did an excel packing list, so i can check off what has gone into the suitcase. i did a lot of advance planning last trip, which was good because i got food poisoning two days before departure and could not do anything. Thank goodness i recovered by the time we got to WDW.
