This feels like the longest 120days of my life

[Party.Of.4-NY>>>FL]

Made all my ADRs about a month ago for our Dec trip. Finished them all within about 15 minutes of 6:00am opening. Now waiting for my 60day mark for FPs is KILLING ME!

I'm still in the mood to plan stuff but it's all taken care of as of right now. Flights booked, airport transportation booked, stroller rental booked, etc. Besides stalking the DIS and DW website for Rivers Of Light announcement I've got nothing else to plan for regarding this trip.

What does everyone else do with these 120 days? Do you take a break from all things Disney for a little while? Do you still check MDE from time to time to make sure all your correct info is there?(I'm guilty of this one)

Today is my 100-day mark! I feel like there are still a lot of unsettled details (more so than in past trips), so I guess I should be thankful to have something to research/obsess over every day. ;-) I'm still watching for changes to park hours for AK and DHS, news about AK night shows, and the SW fireworks dessert party.

I'm also browsing online for a couple new outfits, updating packing lists, perusing restaurant menus, and reading dining reports and trip reports, especially ones that mention MNSSHP, since that will be new to us this trip. So no, definitely not taking a break from the Disney stuff! I don't know how to do that, lol.

That is a tough time isn't it?! Feels like you're so close but yet so far!
I never take a Disney break lol so I constantly read the boards, finalize and refinalize the itineraries, start slowly buying things we want for the trip like this year some new shirts, sunblock etc

I've continued tweaking my ADRs and have been coming up with preliminary touring plans. Less that 60 days to my ... 60 days...

 

[Lilylogan]

I plan what outfits I'm going to wear! Lol

You could start to make a preliminary packing list - so if there are things you need to buy you don't have to do it all at once

I'm at 118 days. Like the other PP's I tweak dining plans, play with my spread sheet, think about what to bring, look at packing lists, and drive my DH crazy just talking about our trip Another thing I like to do is haunt his board and listen to pod casts everyday. So very excited!

 

[wsssup]

154 days and all those days involve that joyous thing called work..... there is light at the end of the tunnel though

 

[jerzeystar09]

I agree! I'm going solo in October and it cannot get here soon enough! I keep seeing so many fun new things I want to try this trip. Hopefully gonna try my hand at DisneyBounding this time around. Key word is hopefully.

 

[Disney Khaleesi]

I binge read trip reports and plan my outfits out and obsess over restaurant menus.

123 days until our family's first vacation to Disney World, in fact, it is our first vacation that is more than a weekend. I know what you mean, there is a lull, as I wait to book fast passes. I am watching for more info on the Star Wars dessert party, hoping they will still have them when we go. I am also working on our packing list, watching haul videos to get better ideas of souvenir prices so we are prepared, looking over menus, and planning our days out with some room for spontaneity.

I love to plan my itinerary and pick out my clothes and stuff. I am finally at the 60 day mark and I am fully aware that I am wishing the entire summer away lol. But I can't help it. I am just so excited

You are definitely not alone in your feelings! Tom Petty said it best:

 

[kdisser]

One thing my mom and I will do is watch haul videos on youtube. To see what kind of things/souvenirs people get, kinda keep notes if there is something we really need....

 

[GaryDis]

We had an extended weekend vacation in Toronto to distract us. You can be planning Labor Day or Thanksgiving trips, even if they're just day trips.

 

[lustergirl]

I am 112 days away from my solo trip. I have been watching videos in you tube and getting excited. I just cancelled a lunch at Tiffins and rebooked yak and yeti.
My main goal right now is to get my leg stronger for my trip. I just had the right knee replaced on 5/23 and have been working on it every day.

" Only 60 days from my....60 days!"

I'm so glad to hear that I am not the only one driving their husband crazy talking about the trip, obsessing over their itinerary, and wishing the summer away.

Of course, I'm in Texas---approximately 1.5 miles from the surface of the sun, so I pretty much wish every summer away. But even more so when I have a Disney Christmas trip planned.

I have been passing the time working...to pay for this trip... and

It's too soon to start the outfit obsessing--more for my DGD than me, but yeah okay, a little bit for me.

Also, going to spend the next 5 moths stepping up my workout frequency and eating with more discipline. I want to do myself the extreme favor of dropping a few pounds before we go.

 

[CaliTex]

PS: What are "haul videos" and what is Disneybounding? TIA!

 

[Yahweh]

We are 138 days out. I still check everyday for openings of hard to get restaurant reservations, but haven't had much luck this year compared to past. It seems like most to the openings are happening within a day or two before the reservation; which of course makes sense with the 24 hour cancellation fee. The crappy thing is that I'll have too much to do at that time! But I'll keep checking.

 

[MaryLovesPoohBear]

I'm at 138 days. Yes, I know down to the day.

I've been tweaking ADRs. I've changed one around because I booked Candlelight procession on the same day as another table service. It was pushing meals kind of close.

Now, I start to plan park days. I think about outfits. And if Disney bounding (dressing like a character, but not in costume), I try to see what I already own. (Looking for cheap yellow shoes.)

And now I am waiting to see if I can get 8am at 1900 on the Friday we are there.

Where do you find haul videos?

This is when I got a subscription to touring plans and starting making daily itineraries. it was fun and helped pass the time! Also, reading trip reports, checking the DIS, and watching Disney vlogs.
