Make a paper chain loop and tear a loop off for each day. That is what we do! Read, read, read the boards and make a list of places to eat, details to see, stuff to do, things to buy, what to pack, how to haul it, what to wear, what kind of shoes to get...........
Back in Chicago, before we moved down here, I used to visit the Disney Store at the nearest mall. They always had a video showing the different parks and I used to stand there for quite some time just watching it. Helped me get my "fix" until the next trip.
Also remember at the Woodfield Mall in Schaumburg (outside Chicago) they used to have a Florida store (perhaps they still do). Anyway, it always gave the temp. in Orlando for that day so we knew what we had to look forward to. Always came home with the new brochures to look over while waiting.
do you have the planning video? if not, then order it and watch it. i love watching it. also if you have travel channel watch the specials they do on disney world.
We have a paper chain, each link has a Disney character on it. It's hanging in my kitchen and I swear it's growing by itself. Everyday we take a link off, but it's not getting any shorter. LOL
I hate the waiting. My planning is just about all done. I've read 3 WDW books. Check the boards daily. We've watched of past WDW trip videos hundreds of times and it's still going too slow.
My dd keeps asking if today is the day we go to Disney and then proceeds to say please, please, please, please, PLEASE!
