I figure it is time to start planning again.

39 days... almost just a month to go!!! gotta be hard for you to plan with all the random WOC stuff screwing things up... hopefully they'll get it straight soon!

 

[wvnative]

Hehe.. I'd be a nervous wreck if I didn't have my plans at least mostly in place by 40 days out. But, I also tend to overplan. lol

We'll likely be winging it a bit more if we do that weekend in October.

What do you have left to plan?

It's making me crazy. I am totally perseverating.

It is driving me over the edge. I have no clue what they are doing with that. Argh.

Not much really. The main thing is what days we do what. I don't want to over plan this trip.

I am going nuts over it trying to figure what days to do what.

Me too. I think we need a WoC/grad night support group.

I know. What shall we name it?

I know. What shall we name it?

 

[kaoden39]

My 15 year old says we should call it "Brendon Urie comes to Disneyland and falls in love with Kody and marries her!"

Little OT, but weren't you friends with GoofyLuvr? Think that was her name.

Does she still frequent the boards? I used to get a kick of her Trip Reports

If it was someone else who was close to her, sorry..I have bad memory

Hey no problemo!!

I'm just glad we never go when there are grad nights. I'm already concerned about how WoC will affect our October trip since they're rumored to be moving the trick or treat stuff to DL. Hopefuly they'll post dates soon as I can make sure it won't affect us.

The grad nights don't bug me. There is so much to do down there any way.

 

[kaoden39]

Okay, this is it the planning lollapalooza!! To end all planning lollapaloozas!!

Alright it is time to really start getting serious. We are going in how many days? No I still have not made any PS for all of you worriers. I am going to take the let the trip just roll out and happen!! I know I promised planning and planning what we shall have. My attack plan is simple relax and have fun. Enjoy the trip and don't stress the family with my anal planning. There I said it I am an awful tyrant when it comes to my plans and schedules. Kind of like a field marshal, and it takes the fun out of it for all of us because I stress. A stress Michele is not a good Michele.

So my loose plans are leaving at around 5 am on Sunday June 13. Now I know that my cohorts that follow along and add their thoughts are groaning at this announcement. Sorry kids, you can sleep in the van. I am going to have plenty of snacks and water in the van. We tend to stop more than the average people, I traveled on many a road trip with my dad as a kid and he stopped at the roadside rests so that he could get out of the car and walk around. He was restful and far less stressed out when we got into the LA traffic. I am going to follow that travel plan. I am hoping to skip one or two but we are going to take a nice slow trip. Am I stressing my planning friends by this new laid back attitude?

I am hoping to get to Disneyland well rested, because I have decided that instead of going to Disneyland on Saturday that we in fact rather go on Sunday!! I think I would rather face the crowd on Sunday night than Saturday morning. And that means that we head home on Saturday morning well rested and hopefully facing less traffic on I-5 for the trip home.

Another thing I had not planned on when I originally planned this trip is the grad nights. I knew Disney had them I just never figured them in, but the area being what it is I am sure there will be things to do. Like visit DTD. Oh yeah no trip would be complete for me without a little trip to DTD. I love so many of the stores there that I just love, I may never buy a thing but I love to go. Well to every where but the Build a Bear store. We have one in our mall no big thing.

On Sunday night I know that my girls will at least be going to Tomorrowland to check out what Nerdy Cookies refers to as a free concert. I kind of like the idea, when I was a teenager I used to go and dance when the bands played when I was there. Yes, I have had some great fun there. Ah the memories are great.

 

[DisneyStitch626]

Sounds like a great way to plan a vacation to me! I would do it that way if I didn't live so far away and knew if I could go back anytime in the next couple years. Sounds like a good time, and the concert sounds fun too.

 

[Trentmom]

I think your plans sounds great

Nice and relaxing is the way to go

Thanks guys!!
