Why is planning a a trip to Disney so Stressful

[d23cndrela]

Can you answer me that?

Ok...so last Sept. Booked Bounce Back so we would not have to sit on hold for 2hrs on the day the free dinning would be a made available to Disney Visa holders. Heck we didn't even know if free dining would be available.

So Then 180 days out from our trip (March 17) I take the day off from work. Get up at 6:45am and start dialing at 7am sharp. Get all the Reservations we want.

Free Dining is announced pretty happy that we already have our two 2 room packages W/ free dining.

Based on last years dates Planning on attending The Sept 19 MNSSHP

MNSSHP Dates are announced. (Now having early dates). Family now wants to go to the MNSSHP on the 16th instead. So now have to rearrange all our adrs.

May 1st get to work extra early so I can be on the phone by 7am to buy MNSSHP tickets. On hold for 20 minutes. Told system is down call back later. I call back later now on hold for 48mins. Finally buy tickets.

Now today get home at around 7pm after a long day of work and meetings to find a voice mail message from Disney Deposit Operations. This message is telling me they never received my deposit. (The one that was charged on my Disney Visa). So I Then had to call them back wait on hold for 18min and then was on the phone with a cast member for an hour and a half trying to get this all straightened out. Let me add the CM was very nice and helpful but thank god I have a cable internet phone and do not have to pay for long distance with all the time I have spent on hold with Disney.

I am so stressed out from planning this trip... At Least I know Disney is worth every second of it!!!! I Just Love Going to WDW an would rather be theer then anywhere else in the World but I think I may Crack. Thanks for letting me rant and get this off my chest!!!

Dont stress your going to Disney world. Deep breathes, and happy dreams you'll be good to go. Browse the boards, and there is an answer to just about any question you could have. Also when you get stressed about it think of your favorite ride, show, or night time spectacular.

just remember, a bad day at disney is better than a good day at work, everything got fixed, and ya still have a lot of great ADRs.

Thanks! You guys are the best! I knew if anyone was going to make me feel better it would be a DISer. I feel much better now. It was just so crazy!

I'm a little crazy, but I enjoy all the planning. When I go elsewhere I feel ripped off because I only get to make hotel ressies and not much else..... :-(

I love the planning...esp if plans "change", I get all excited because getting the ADRs I want is a challange!

LOVE IT!

I really think what got me upset was the whole deposit thing. I just can't understand that after 7 months you now call and leave a message that there is something wrong with my Disney vacation package. All the other planing was pretty fun ( like always). Even the canceling and rebooking adrs to fit in the MNSSHP change. I was even able to give my other adrs to some DISers that really wanted them, Like My LeCellier Dinner ADR. So that made them and me happy. The Deposit thing just really really got me. What if they would have just cancel the reservations because they thought I didn't pay my deposit( which I did.)? IDK... It's all over now... I'll be fine ... the Reservations are fine ...And now i can just sit back and count the days till we leave! 123 to be exact.
