Having this board to go to, so much to read/learn, etc. really helps the time go fast though.
We had planned/booked our last WDW trip almost a year out (on the "come-back" special I took advantage of during my solo trip before that) and the time really flew! Making plans, reading here, etc.
Granted the cruise you can't make a lot of PS's ahead of time and all that- like you can with WDW- but the concept is the same I think. That's why I just keep thinking- we're pretty close to being about the same amount of time we had with our last trip- and that 10.5mo went really quick! LOL It's kinda like with my kids- seems like forever they'll be grown but yet they are growing up super fast when I think about it! Can't believe how fast time has gone since I had them. Kinda like that. LOL
