Ways to Keep Busy

[PigletGurl]

What do you do to keep yourself busy while youre waiting in single digits?
What disney-related things do you do?

Let me see...I make crazy lists, shop online, read UG over and over again, post and read threads on the DIS, listen to subsonic radio (Disney theme park music) and read DIS trip reports. Probably not healthy, but oh well.

*EDIT: I just noticed you meant what to do in the SINGLE digits--I'm not even three months out yet! Yeah, I'm obsessed!

I start making lists of things to bring, even if it just for the car ride there. I also get out a big storage bin, and we start adding things to it for our trip that we dont want to forget. For examlple, I just got the bin out for camping, so we add bug spray, sunblock, and other little goodies.
I too watch videos, especially the vacation planning videos

~I make a packing list.
~Start buying Tinkerbell Gifts for my kids
~Order pins on ebay
~Start throwing things in the suitcase that I don't want to forget
~Got some new Nike Shox today- my old ones still smell like Splash Mountain water from last time!
~Place my Safeway.com/Vons.com order
~Make sure the special pins are not on the pin trading lanyard
~Delete pictures from the camera's memory cards to make room for all the NEW pictures I'm about to take!

I know this sounds crazy but we are going camping next weekend, we come home Sunday afternoon and then fly to DL Monday morning at 6:30am.
I have to pack now DL and for camping.

Since we hit single-digits on Thursday (and this was the first day of my summer vacation...I'm a teacher ), I've tied up a lot of the loose ends for both of our upcoming trips:

(1) found and printed directions to the hotel we're staying at in Philly on Friday evening

(2) started packing DSs clothing

(3) bought myself four or five new pairs of shorts/capris

(4) tried on multiple outfits to figure out exactly what I'll be packing

(5) reserved a car for our drive to Legoland

(6) pre-ordered PhotoPass

(7) watched POTC with DS (including some of the bonus disk which has the POTC ride on it...since the ride was closed for upgrades and the POTC2 World Premiere when we were in DL last time and we never got to ride it)

(8) got DS a new shirt from the Disney store...something about Coast 2 Coast, which will be really cute since we'll be at both DL and WDW within a week of each other...perfect shirt to wear on the flights

Mm...I forgot to post what I do.

- I watch loads of disney movies my favorite ones including, peter pan, potc, pinocchio, cinderella
-i watch originalD you tube videos

The countdown is on for you!!

Make sure your iPod or MP3 is charged (and bring a charger!), get our all your Disney t-shirts together (as my son says, "Where else do you wear Disney all the time?"), make sure you have any PS that you want done (Carnation Cafe - yummy!), get your trading pins onto a lanyard so that you are ready to go, make copies of your passport and other travel documents - just in case!, pack, pack, and repack!

HAVE FUN!!

I have to delete more than 400 photos?? AAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!

Better get started.....

 

[JadeDarkstar]

lol im 4months out and already starting the lists
I would watch all 3 pirates in a row, and then all the clasics and listen to lots disney music
read the disney planing books make sure you know what rides you must go on what shows you must see what places you must eat at.

Well I work, not because I want to I have to. As busy as I have been at work I have lost track that I am finally into single digits. I did manage to start packing some of my DS clothes since he and DD are on vacation with their father this week, not hers yet, I might pack the wrong thing. I am very excited though and in desperate need of a vacation!

Yeah, I have about 1500 pix to delete.

I have such a hard time deleting pictures, I want to hold onto the memory forever. I download everything to Costco photo center and then to a CD, but it's so great to have it handy on the XD card when I want to print a quick picture on my Epson picture mate for scrapbooking.

I am four months out from our next vacation, we are surprising my nephew and taking him. So we are already planning, we are watching all the movies so he can have some knowledge of them, more the adult films such as Indy and POTC.

We also have been playing car games when he is with us, name a ride or place in Disneyland, we go around and around and then talk about them with him. It keeps us occupied for hours, and is helping us learn his favorites from previous trips years ago, and teaching him new things.

Well, I never have to wait to go to Disneyland, so when I am waiting to go to Disneyworld, I go to Disneyland. Ok, I know terrible of me, sorry, I just had to chime in.

 

[joeysmommy]

We're leaving in 6 days so I will take the kids to see the new Indy movie!
