Not at all! Sounds like you put in a lot of what you want to do, and having a plan is so much better than not! Besides, you didn't plan the whole day just a couple of things you wanted to do each day! And, you HAVE to have dinner and lunch plans, make sure you have reservations (well, perfered seating, they don't really have reservations anymore, just people with a "reservation" get seated before people w/out) Sounds like your trip will be a lot of fun!! I'll share in your excitement Have fun!

Whatever you do, just realize that that is a busy time of year and maneuvering around the world can be quite time consuming. If you do nothing else have fun!! If your a schedule person then you'll have nothing but fun! If not don't get upset if you run late. I did!! Your bound for fun!!

Thanks for the advice you guys. Yes, we already have Priority Seatings for all the table-service meals we have planned. We actually chose December b/c it's a very uncrowded time of the year - at least it has been for the past 20 Decembers that we've been (I'm a little Disney crazy ). The crowded time doesn't start until a few days before Christmas. But we're OK with crowds too

Your post reminds me of me and all my compulsive planning!! I've been to WDW too many times to count, but dh has never been. Our disneymoon actually begins the day after our first anniversary (long story, but Katrina sorta put a halt on everything when we were married). Anyway, I've been planning since February. At times it seems like it will never get here, but I'm now down to less than 12 weeks! We'll be there Dec. 23-30. I know the crowds will be really bad, but I think knowing that beforehand and being prepared for it will help. Here's my schedule:
