What next?

[momof2blondes]

So I've been planning this trip forever, and now we are only 3 months away and I think I have everything planned. The itinerary is set, I've read every tip and trick I could possibly remember. And I'm kind of upset that I am sooo ready. What do you guys do to keep the excitement going and the still feed the obsessive need to plan?
Can anyone relate, cause I feel like I'm crazy! And I'm pretty sure everyone else agrees.

Well, I must agree...I've been planning for a while, but I only have 40 days before we are there, can't wait. Today I put out all of our luggage in the spare room and started packing...is that too much? haha.

I have made a binder of our itinerary divided by parks and dining. Tips from TGM. Made a packing list too.

I hope I don't forget anything...

I think I will start to set up my scrapbook pages, that way I can just insert my photos and away I go. And since I do it all on the computer I can change anything I need to anyway.
I just wish my family would get as excited as I am, they're happy to be taking a vacation, but not nearly as excited as I am to get to disney.
I have been wanting to go for as long as I can remember and now we are finally going
I think I may actually shed some happy tears when I see the castle for the first time. Is that a little too much or what?

I stare at my ADRs wondering if there's anything I should change then tell myself they're fine.
Listen to Disney music and park music on the web.
And lurk and post on here!

Me Too, and I read about DVC and dream about one day being able to do that! To be able to stay at one of the deluxe resorts, now thats the way to vacation. Throw some pixie dust all over that DREAM.

My trip is a month away and I have no idea how I will make a month Everything is pretty much planned (we don't do that much planning to start with) and I don't know how to get my disney fixing for the next month. I usually plan when I need a fixing!

40 days that isn't too much, Leave for the world in 79 days and I have already started some packing.

I usually use my BOGO for Shampoo, Purex laundry sheets, soap, hairspray, etc when they have them on sale BOGO I put the ones I get for free in a the suitcase, bag, etc.. that it is going to Disney in and it's ready to go when we are...so needless to say I always start packing about 90 days out.

I am very OCD when it comes to planning I have my binder with:
Hotel addresses, phone and fax numbers
Driving directions(not needed now got tomtom for Christmas)
To do list from 3 days out until we return from vacation
Park and resort maps.
Menus
ADR's
Everyone's Must do's
Housekeeping/Mouse keeping tip envelopes
Daily Budget envelopes
etc....

At that point I usually start reading everybody's trip report. By the time we go to leave I've read any trip report that has been posted for the past six months. lol!

That's what I've been doing the past few days!

We usually stay off resort...what do you usually give for mousekeeping tips?

Where do you find trip reports,

gosh, thought I was getting close to prepared, and now I find stuff I didnt' think of, OMGoodness....

We usually declare 1 night a week (if I had my way, it would be 3 nights...) as Disney night. Put on our Disney gear (pjs, tee shirts...) pop in a Disney movie, grab some Disney snacks. Discuss what things we are looking forward to doing.
Then I'll study my packing list to see what else I need to get, what else I can pack now...
And of course, there's the Disboards!

 

[momof2blondes]

ohhhhh..... I wanna Disney night!
I have exactly three months today and when I told my DS's this morning they started getting excited. So maybe this weekend we will have a Disney night, what are the must sees and what is everyone expecting from this trip. I like the disney gear and snacks idea. The question is what movie will we watch, we have some old VHS ones that maybe I should pull out, or Toy Story, that was always a favorite when the kids were young.
