"Hi my name is Jennifer and I am a WDW overplanner!!"

I cannot believe how much time I spend researching, reading on, posting questions, planning, and replanning, and calling on things, and replanning, and changing, and changing back........
stuff for our trip to WDW!!!!!!!!!!!!

AND .........my trip is not until December!!

Anyone???

disneyholic1969 · 03-23-2005

MEE TOO! And I have never been!

queensmama · 03-23-2005

Count me in too. It is just as much fun to plan............ok almost!

**Dana** · 03-23-2005

I am in this club for sure. I have been researching airlines for weeks..lol trip isn't until October and I planned the trip maybe a week or so after coming home from my January trip..lol Planning it is half the fun for me. It also helps pass the time until the trip gets here.

Finally! A support group for my condition!

I thought I was bad since my trip is in November, but Jennifer, you've got me beat with December.

And now that I've made my reservations, I STILL keep reading and reading and planning! I'm having so much fun! And I love all the info on this site.

I fall into the same category, however when I plan it is to save money and then use the savings to try to get the most out of the trip that we can. One year I saved enough on the hotels and travel to pay for the family to all horse back ride. That was a great year.

I'm a Disney overplanner.....o.k., an obsessive Disney overplanner. Trying to save money, making sure you don't miss anything, seeing all the new stuff, eat at the right places.....how can I not be!!!

dwoodz · 03-23-2005

My name is dwoodz....and I am also a Disney overplanner!

Crowd....welcome dwoodz...

My next trip is also in October and I am scheduling which character meals we will attend. What parks we will attend on which given day. I think I have times for bathroom breaks placed in my daily planner. I just hope everyone stays on schedule or we may have to skip a few bathroom breaks :-)

mickeymotto · 03-23-2005

Oh gosh me too...nice to know we are not alone!
Ours is for December too!

**DisneyTeacher** · 03-23-2005

I'm in.

I am a serious overplanner, I plan an entire year for one trip. My DH thinks I am nuts but he gets an awesome trip so he doesn't really care.

missy H · 03-23-2005

Hello my name is Kerry and I overplan everything and change everything and it drives my family up the wall!!

And we are not going to WDW until December 16th!
Soooo many days to change everything!!!!

**Dana** · 03-23-2005

Thsi time around, I am doing like CarribeanBeach nut, and seeing how cheap I can get everything. All that savings will help me and my DD get to do some extra stuff like horse back riding and tours at Sea World. I still haven't really decided on the exact resort. I have already changed it twice..lol mickey is a saint. I am now considering going to a deluxe, but am having a hard time choosing. I also have my days and meals planned before I go and also spending money for each day down to the dollar....no credit cards for me. I got an expanding file folder last year and had a file for each day. Each day has an envelope with the day's activities and their cost on it. I put money in each envelope until I have it all and then seal it up.....then on to the next envelope. I take the sealed envelope out on it's day and use what's in there...when the money is gone from the enveople...no more spending. It helps me budget better I think. I also save using Disney Dollars. I will get them every paycheck...half of the money I take to WDW is in DD. I spend the DD first, then the cash.

gingita · 03-23-2005

I have been researching everything for weeks and weeks about what to do. I have a resort booked (WL), but now I don't know where to eat and I am supposed to start making PS tomorrow! I can't make up my mind and somehow this is far more stressful to me than my business statistics test also tomorrow.

Cavey · 03-23-2005

I don't even have a trip scheduled, and I'm already making plans!!!!

Count me in.

Can we help you plan your trip? See, we overplanners don't like to just plan our own trips, we like to plan trips for other people.
