My DD & I made the chain together, and she can't wait to rip that link
every night

Only a couple of weeks left - she's all packed (3 tubes of toothpaste)
and ready to go. It's so wonderful to see her so excited - and she
is VERY engaged in the planning!!

Ballybunion3 ... that's my son too. He's 9. We've done the chain link (only 35 days to go)... and we have several duotangs on the go.. with plans on how to do MK, AK, Epcot, MGM, the Cruise... etc. He plans plans and plans. It's all he wants to do. It's March break here in Ontario.. and we've done little else.

also we watched all the disney movies that pertain to the "world"
like lion king, tarzan , little mermaid, big blue house show, aladdian
dumbo, peter pan, snow white, winnie the pooh---

this keeps you busy for days!!!

Glad I read this post. Like the chain idea but it would be mostly for me!
Anyway, I've been reading these boards as much as possible, going to work at night (that eats up a lot of worry time), and spending money getting ready for the trip. I bought my two DS's waist packs and was surprised at how much they love them! They are using them everytime they go somewhere. I got four "vacation" looking shirts - you know, as Hawaiian as I could get - for our O'Hana's dinner. Also ordered the 2002 passporter and bought two more Disney travel books. Biggest and best purchase - our park hopper passes! Now that was exciting. Next will be cleaning and packing. Maybe I can stay busy til May 24th!

We use the chain count down too. It gets everyone motivated to pack early.

I always clean my oven, wipe out the refrigerator, since it is nearly empty of food, and wrap all the spare change in the house and take it to the bank.

I check out the 10 day forecast at home and Orlando to compare.

131 days left for us. Sounds like a long time?? We will be driving this year, staving for two weeks it will be worth the wait..... WDW 4 US.....CBR99 Allstar Movies Feb2001 Allstar Music Aug 2001......

What do I do before the trip?

Paint the ENTIRE interior of our house!!

It certainly uses up that excess energy that we all have.

A little over a week left - 2 more rooms. AAAAARRRGGHHHH

Doh!

Okay...who thinks it would be silly to start a chain now when we don't leave until October 5? lol

My 4 1/2 year old mentioned making one to me a few weeks back, but I am seriously thinking about it now, I am just TOOOOO excited about this trip (First one for us all, except DH who went when he was a child).

I think it would be hysterical! Drape it in their playroom or something. I say go for it. One man's *silly*.. is another man's rule.

We leave April 2nd on a not too looong drive from Wi. I don't mind the drive, as we can see the countryside. This is our very first Disney trip. CBR. Love the DIS Boards and all the posts. Thanks much everyone.

you could make a chain for the weeks instead of the days, rip one off every week, once a week until it gets to about 30 days out, then switch to days.
