What do you do with 4 months to go?

[Erica09M]

With 4 months until your vacation, what kind of planning are you doing?

I've been planning this trip since June, and now we only have 4 months to go! It's our first trip, and I want to make sure that I'm crossing all of our "t"s and dotting all or our "i"s.

Our ADRs are booked
Our package is booked & paid for completely
We're not buying airline tickets until February

What should I be doing?!

We're going 4/28 for 10 days I have my ADR's made, special events reserved and my airline tickets bought. I can't wait!!!!

I agree on what to do?! I'm going april 6-19 and everything except packing is done.. I'm losing my mind wanting to do something or for it to come sooner! I think my family would put me in an institution if I started packing now... so hence I surf here in my free time

check out the Creative DISign boards...you will be inspired to make:

* Autograph Books
* Epcot Passports
* Invitations to all of your ADRs

Also:

* go through your wardrobes and make sure your summer clothes still fit, are all present an accounted for, try on bathing suits, etc. A great way to organize kids clothes is to pack them in 1 gallon ziplock bags.

* if you are doing Tink gifts, start shopping and putting them together....I used to put a little something in a little bag like for a birthday party for each day. Pick up items for the trip to Disney to tuck in little backpacks...coloring books, books, small toys, etc. Dollar Store is handy for this stuff.

* make a list/start picking up the odds and ends you will need to pack: OTC meds, prescriptions, swim goggles, ear planes, sunscreen, disposable sippy cups, etc.

* become one with the park hours/EMH times, parade times and think about your strategy.....will you do EMH mornings or avoid those parks all together?

* practice w/your camera....will you try night settings at WDW that you may not be very familiar with? Does your camera eat batteries or go thru charges quickly? Do you need a new sd card? How is your quick draw?

* will you trade pins or press pennies? Look for good trading pins for cheap online.
