30 days!!!!


Now I just pray my husband keeps his job! It seems crazy to go, but it's such a good deal this year it seems like a good time to go at xmas.

I hope and pray for you too that he gets to keep his job. Last week my husband's company did a ton of layoffs. We were both a nervous wreck, but I think I was more so than him because he is more laid back.

Last night I packed our warm weather clothing. As it gets closer I'll throw in some cooler weather clothing just in case.

OMG only 16 days!!!

 

[maidenfairy]

I am so jealous of those who are down to the teens. 38 more days to go for me.

 

[suzimar57]

15 more days! (or 360 hours!)

Finishing all the last minute things before the trip -- can't wait to see the castle again!!

18 days to go here.

Typically I'd be "locked & loaded" by now. But alas - NOTHING is done!

We've been short-staff at work for nearly 4 months and we anticipate a family death (long term illness) within days. Needless to say, this trip isn't even on the backburner. I had to BEG to take tomorrow off even though I've put in crazy hours.

Breathe in. Breathe out.

Let's all remember how lucky we are to even be going - and many of us are on our up-teenth trip (#19 here). We get this time away from work and stress. Most of us are staying at a Disney resorts - a complete escape from reality. We have the luxury of having other people cook for us for days on end. Best of all, we pretend we're kids again.

So tomorrow I will try to steal away a few minutes to at least get the rolling duffle out of the closest and open my Excel with the standard WDW packing list on it. To be greatful for the Thanksgiving holiday. To know after I have to work on Sat. Dec. 6 that I can exhale and only worry about getting to the (new) Indy airport. Perhaps the parks will be crowded with other fanatics like me, but as is often said:

The worst day at Disney is still better than a good day anywhere else.

Enjoy the anticipation, fellow Disers.

Well said.....I feel less stressed after reading your post when I think all the "things" I need to get done before our upcoming trip...dr. appts, school conferences, hosting Thanksgiving, wrapping all of our Christmas presents, getting the house in order, shopping for our sons birthday....the list goes on and on, but the great news is I have an entire week off with my family and my best friend and her family to play...what more can I ask for? Enjoy your trips, I know I'll enjoy mine!!

26 DAYS TO GO!!!!

 

[WDisneyWforMe]

Just 23 days for me and I'm exhausted!! I'm dreaming every night that I'm in the parks implementing my well disigned touring plans and when we get to the spot on my plan it's not there! When we get to the area then where it is supposed to be it's back where my touring plan had it to begin with . This nightmare rotates through with the one where I pack and pack and pack and then pack again, never finishing , it's just endless and I'm exhausted!! LOL

18 days to go for us....I am feeling very stressed as well. It's not like I haven't known about this trip forever but I guess I just keep putting stuff off to the last minute. Oh well, it will get done.

Just checking my tickers. Printing out the schedules for the parks the days we are there.

Also, I had asked this before but nobody replied. I got my ME papers already. But should I be getting more soon??? If so, what are they?

 

[PoohlvrLynn]

You should get a breakdown of your reservations one last time, luggage tags from Disney and any vouchers that come with your package.....we got one for $15 off at Planet Hollywood, free sea racer, that sort of thing. We booked with Disney, so that's what we got....not sure how you booked? Hope that helps!!

17 Days

 

[*Seanaci*]

I think we're at 32 days...I think. I'm so tired...and was ready to throw my kid in bed and leave him there till he cried himself to sleep. But, he was hungry and refused to sleep until I fed him. So, full belly, and a dose of tylenol (I'm ready for him to be done getting teeth, but seeing as how he's only 13 months old and only has 3 so far, I really can't complain) he's snoozing. And I'm tired. And feeli icky. I'm hungry, but am afraid to eat for fear I will not feel good afterwards. :/

Disney magic today is at an all time low. That bites.

On another note, I'm tempted to go ahead and place the order for our trip shirts...I mean, I probably need to and it'll be $10 cheaper if I do it before tomorrow. We'll see what I decide to do.

32 days. Oh, and I just went and had my name changed on my driver license (I got married back in July). Nothing like waiting till the last minute.

as "princess&her4princes" previously said, you should get a packet from Disney containing a breakdown of your reservation, Disney luggage tags and vouchers.

Yay! 13 days for us.

See you there!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What are your dates. Mine our from the 8th - 16th. We always ask for the 1st floor and our window will be decorated.

 

[PrincessSuzanne]

24 days and it can't get here quick enough.

Now, I just have to get through my first Thanksgiving without mom and mine and DH's Anniversary and that overnight trip

I have too much to do, but I do think most of it is done actually Just need to sit down and figure it out

I am sorry about your mom. I know that this first holiday will be tough on you... and I am glad that you get to go away and try to keep your mind off of it. (This is my 13th Tgiving without my Mom and my 4th without my Dad...It DOES get easier though!!)
