Countdown question

This isn't a how to question so I put this in the mousetrap, I hope that's ok.

How do you set your countdown? Do you set it for when you leave home or when you think you will arrive on property at WDW?

I have mine set on the day and time we are leaving home not getting to WDW. We are driving this year and won't actually get to WDW until the following day.

Am I cheating on my countdown??

Re: Countdown question

Mine is set for when I wake up on departure day. The trip starts when I open my eyes on the day I leave..lol

Re: Countdown question

Thnaks guys! We usually fly so there's not a lot of difference in the time we leave and the time we get to WDW but this year it's a whole day and I felt like I might be cheating on the countdown.

I like that idea!! We aren't leaving until about noon since my DH has to give finals in his 3 summer classes that day and I'm sure I'll be on here that morning trying to pass the time until we can leave.

I leave here at 3:30am....lol I am getting up, if I sleep at all, at 2:30am... You should definately schedule your countdown for when you wake-up...the trip begins with the pre-departure stuff in my opinion...opening my eyes and waking up is definately pre-departure stuff...can't drive sleeping..lol

Re: Countdown question

We always set ours for the day and time that we are all leaving for Mickey's House, and it always takes us 2 days to drive there. My mom has this fear of flying, so we never fly. I like my countdowns to be as soon as possible.
