Why do I do this to myself???!!!
I decided to watch Wishes on Youtube a few minutes ago. Now I am just dying for this trip to hurry up and get here!!

I shouldn't complain. It's only 72 days to go, but some days (like today) that feels soooooooo far away!!!

Yup, the Wishes videos do that to me too. The ropedrop show at MK also makes me miss WDW.

I hear you! My students were C-R-A-Z-Y today! Don't know what's going on, but it seemed to be catching! They would NOT settle down to work, all day long! Gah, this kind of day makes me feel old! Come on, April!!!!

Well thank goodness I'm not the only nut around here!

I hear you on the work day. In fact, planning a trip and counting down the days gets me through those types of days. The anticipation is a great motivator to get through the winter!

Now I'm going to drag the kids into my impatience fest and make them watch it too.

I find the videos bitter sweet. I love watching them and they bring back great memories .. but make me want to BE there RIGHT now !

Me too!!! I think im at 71 today!!!! i'm trying not to say anything to dh b/c I say hey, we have this many days and once in a blue moon he's like oh wow but most of the time he's like ya ok. so I'm trying to keep it further between times that i tell him how long so I can get a bit of a reaction ROFLOL!!! It's sad when I don't b/c to me EVERY DAY I log on and see my countdown is exciting b/c it's another day closer. i'm trying to hold off til somewhere mid 60's right now but I'll probably not be able to contain my excitement past Sunday when we remove another paperclip AKA week off our countdown.

and I know what you mean about the youtube vids! We try to avoid them. We watched some several months ago but I'm avoiding them now at least until we are closer. We are keeping busy right now with my pre trip report and planning some Disney/Universal dinner/movie themed nights.

Has anyone who's flying NOT bought their tickets yet? I'm freaking out a little because I haven't bought my flights yet, but they are so high right now coming from the west coast!! The planner in me says I should just buy them already...

 

[Tropigal]

We haven't bought our air tics yet either! I heard 6 weeks out have good rates. That's what DH is waiting for.

We have all the rest booked....except waiting for Easter meals to be released!

Can't believe it's so close! Now I am beginning to freak on how our at that time 3 month old will be! I've done WDW with a 5 mo and it was a cinch!

I could never just wait for flights. Flights in the northeast just keep going up b/c of spring break. I paid less then $300/pp rt now the same flights are close to if not more than $800/pp It is totally insane!!!
A couple of years ago I didn't buy them soon enough and they were almost $500/pp.
I wish they would come down in price around here b/c my sister now wants to meet us there but can't get any decent flights.

Is it school vacation week for them next week? If so that would explain it. I could never get anything done with my kids the Friday before vacation.

Just booked 23rd to 28th at Pop. Its my girlfriend and I's first time since kids. Now if only I could find a way to budget in an engagement ring .

I thought that since I am going the last week of April, we could get a little cheaper flights (since Easter is at the beginning of the month), but I'm starting to think i was wrong...

I only wish! No, we go another week, then we have winter break! Next week is going to be a challenge! The way my classes are going, it looks like we may be having unit tests and/or quizzes towards the end of next week! Yeah, they're gonna hate me!!!

We got our flights last weekend. I had been watching the prices for awhile and finally decided to go for it. I'm glad I did because they have gone up since I booked.

Watching airfares and trying to predict which direction they're going to go is very stressful. The 6 week in-advance rule used to work but I find it less helpful for the past couple of years. We bought our flights back in October and the prices never dipped below our buying price.

I agree. I feel so much better now that we have our airfare taken care of. We got a direct flight at a decent price, so I am happy.

On another note, I officially changed our hotel to POR. It was my fist choice, but CSR was cheaper with the spring room only offer. But I finally decided that I would regret it if I didn't stay at POR, so I made the change. 70 days and counting!

We booked our tickets in November. It was 320 round trip per person, whcih is far more than I wanted to pay, but like a previous poster, we are in the Northeast and it is spring break week, so I weanted to make sure we got flights. We wanted to go a day earlier, but could not even get flights for that day! Just looked and our flight is now $818 round trip per person!!! Glad we booked when we did. Tomorrow is our 6 week mark!

 

[camnhan]

I hope everything works out for you!

Yeah they are!
They'll get over it
