Relax...

I'm not sure if this is a WDW tip or or a FP post - I'm leaning towards tip
Approaching 60 days I felt less joy and eagerness and more anxiety over getting FP on the days I wanted with times that fit our ideas for touring. Now that I've been through it (I'm 53 days out! Yay!) I wish I'd known it would be okay and that there really are tons of attractions and times/days available.

My tip is to relax....

I second that tip! Our first family trip was two years ago. We had our FP and ADR selected ahead of time, but beyond that, we had nothing else planned. Which is not how I normally operate! It was nice to not feel like we needed to hurry here or there, or like we were missing out on certain things, which allowed me to relax. Our trip was so perfect in every way, we decided the day we got home we would go again in two years. Our next trip is in four weeks, and we are planning this trip the same way . . . going without a real plan. Which, again, takes the pressure off me and allows me to relax!

Yep, I agree. The whole if you don't book your FPs at midnight 60 days out and go RD to park close and have every minute planned or you won't have a good trip is silly. You can normally find FPs a week out (heck we book them the morning of) and not book ADRs until day of, get to the park at 9:30 or 10, only ride 3 or 4 rides and relax at the swimming pool and have a great time.
