Pace Yourself!

[2BoysMum&Dad]

Dear All,

I believe a lot of the fun of going to WDW is the planning and anticipation of The Big Trip. I am sure most of you will agree with me (after all, that's why we are all members of this forum, right?!).

One of my best bits of advice (bearing in mind I have never been to WDW before) would be - don't wish your life away in the months/weeks/days before you go.

Live life to the full now before you go. Engross yourself in daily life and your current job/school/homelife because the arrival date and holiday will come all too soon and that wonderful holiday will be over before you know it! If you "wish your life away" between now and the holiday, the holiday will be over too soon!!

Let's do lots of planning and talk here in the meantime, but try to slow down during the time before we go. I am sure it will all be over far too quickly!

Besides which, I have a big something-zero birthday next year (2005) and I don't want that to come too quicky - we need to slow down time. Any ideas anybody? Maybe there's a few time travel ideas at Disney that can help?

Wise words.
Also remember to pace your holiday at WDW. Enjoy the parks but also laze by the pool, enjoy the dining, take a tube ride on the lazy river and spend time each day outside of the 4 main parks.
There is always the chance to visit WDW again ( especially with the exchange rate!)

How wise1

I always used to plan the next holiday (wherever) as soon as we returned from the last one. Then the travel agents began to bring out the next years brochures in the early summer, so I was planning next year before I'd even had this year's holiday. One day it dawned on me how this was just wishing our lives away, so now I wait until at least Christmas and then maybe get a bit OTP about it - but once it's booked, that's it until the date of departure is almost here and then I give in to a little anticipation!!
After all, what's 2 weeks in a total of 52?

By OTP I really meant OTT!
