and I haven't started packing! Not only that, I am finding myself in a "all the reservations and planning is done now what do I do slump?" Anybody else like this?

I actually kinda felt like that with our June, 2007 trip. I started planning the trip in August, 2006. All year long, I bought the little things I knew we needed to take with us. I bought new t-shirts and shorts during the Winter because you can get them sooo much cheaper that way.

I made all of our dining reservations at the 180 mark. I read all information I could find on refurbs. etc.

About two weeks before our departure date, I went to the store and bought the road trip snacks. I bought our fix-a-flat.....just in case.

Then, about a week to ten days before our trip, I just didn't know what to do with myself. Everything was done except for the packing. It was too easy! I know that I should have been happy that everything was done but I was just a little let down that no planning was left. Of course, the night before the trip, I was all pumped up again.

Our May/June, 2008 trip was booked in mid-August, 2007. I can make our dining reservations on December 2nd. I've already bought a few things for the next trip. I'm doing it again!

We leave also early Sat am for WDW and I just can't bring myself to do the last minute stuff that I know I can do now. I am only half packed and still have to give hubby the same "push" to get his things together....

Have a safe and happy trip....

I get the exact same way. It's kind of like the calm before the storm, or the "pre-partum" depression. Our very first trip I was actually this way THE NIGHT BEFORE, which was really weird! I think it's a period of all the planning being done but the trip's not here yet.

We're about 4 weeks out now, and the past week I've been getting increasingly fired up about this trip, and I'm thinking about how to handle these next few weeks!

What a rough life we have...

Start packing, it will pull you out of that slump. Because at least you are doing something. I get this way too. Have a good trip.

Start doing laundry and packing. We packed yesterday, and we're leaving Saturday AM as well.

okay, I feel really behind.... We leave Friday at 5:00 AM and I just got the suitcases down! I've made my lists and know what I still need to get, but I'm not going for the last minute things until tomorrow after work. Packing tomorrow night and Thursday!

To add to it now...my dryer (which is only 15 mos old) is dead...not sure when I can get someone out to look at it...Hubby tried...but can't seem to fix it...

Driving from RI with 3 children. Whenever we head down, no matter how much we prepare, there is always something we are missing or forgot to take and we end up leaving later that we intended trying to find the item or whatever it is.

Hoping your trip is memorable!

I am SO with you on the let down feeling. We have had our trip booked since Jan. and now it is almost here. I cant possibly buy anything else for our trip. I have started putting things in a laundry basket as I think of things and as the laundry gets finished but I guess I really do need to get the suitcases out. Everyone always says how expensive Disney is and I agree all the way. I feel like I have already spent $1000 and we arent even there yet. Some new clothes for all of us, mp3 players for the kids, pins for pin trading, princess stuff for our Princess Breakfast. The list goes on and on. I would love to be one of those people who could not obsess over these things but I'm not. I will really have the let down feeling once we get home and I dont really need to surf the forums for all of the info about wdw. I bet I will come home and want to get started on planning our next trip.
