Please help me stop trying to plan all my friend's trips

[Tiger Fan]

Not only do I plan trips for my friends, total strangers have recently come up to me that have heard "through the grapevine" that I"m the Disney expert. It seems they are friends of friends of my friends (or whatever) - LOL. I have helped plan literally tons of trips. It's so much fun and I've gotten some great little surprises from people I've helped too -it's a blast.

I am so bad that on the bus to Magic Kingdom a couple with their daughter were telling us (dh and I) that this was their first trip to WDW and it was there dd's birthday. I think we overwhelmed them. We told them where to get a birthday button, how to use fast pass, then I said if the crowds were bad to change parks (it was Sat. of MLK weekend) We probably shouldn't have said anything except have fun and happy birthday!

Part of the reason we decided to do this trip a surprise is because of the eyerolling from friends and family "You're going again!"

lol! Although I wouldn't consider myself an expert, I think I am getting pretty close (dh couldn't believe that I started talking about our next trip while we were still on this last one!)

I send my friends a list (of about 5 to 6) websites that I found great info on and leave it at that. If they ask more questions then I'll answer them, but inside I'm dying!

OK I am standing proud too.....

Hello, My name is Michelle and I am a therapist and a Disney addict and NO I do not want to "cure" myself.....lol.

Faith, trust, and pixie dust to all!

I LOVE to help plan trips for relatives and friends. I've got 3 other trips planned for other people besides my next one. I have all of them renting points for stays at either BWV or OKW so they'll get to experience a deluxe resort stay for not much more than what they would have paid at the All Stars. I give advice on plane tickets-who has best times and fares, as well as where to look for the best park tickets!

I get so much pleasure and joy in helping people plan trips-I think I enjoy it almost as much as taking the trips myself. I love to shop for the best bargains so people will enjoy the best trip they can for the least amount of money.

If only there was money in the travel agent business.....

My biggest problem is keeping my excitement under control while I give advice/share experiences. I'm always afraid I'm not going to realize I have been going on and on before the person that asked me becomes overwhelmed with information (and maybe sorry they asked!).
