My Sept 2008 Itinerary

snowmedia · 09-10-2008

Hey All,

I thought I would share the itinerary I worked up. It will probably be obvious that I didn't make my ADR's 120 days out, but I did make them around 90 days. I know it is because of the free dining that it was so hard to get good times, but it is not too bad considering. Plus we are getting free dining too.

Anyways, check my itinerary and let me know if you have any suggested changes.

Our September 2008 itinerary.

**DisneyTeacher** · 09-10-2008

Hi Brad, it's good to see you.

Your plans look great, I love your page, it's so much more Disney-ish than my little spreadsheet. Nice job!

tea · 09-10-2008

The times look good to me! Maybe it is because I like early lunches and late dinners with a snack in between :)

**WishUponAStar** · 09-10-2008

WOAH, that is one crazy efficient chart-a-ma-gig you got goin' on there! Impressive.

tinkerbelle24 · 09-10-2008

Very nice. Im not as creative. I have a piece of scrap paper with things all over it. I think I need to get organized

tinkerbelle24 · 09-10-2008

How did you make that with the pics and all?

kanakoskiddos · 09-10-2008

WOW, can I send you our itinerary for you to make us a chart. :) Nice Job! I think you have everything covered.

have a great great time,
margaret.

DVC Mike · 09-11-2008

Wow! What a planner you are.

We just "wing it". The only thing we have planned is our ADRs. We decide which parks to visit (if we even vist a park) the night before, on the fly.

Since we go often enough, I guess we can afford to be spontaneous.

**Dana** · 09-11-2008

I love that spreadsheet!!! It's awesome! Plans look fine to me.

MickeyMcFizzle · 09-11-2008

Love your itinerary, so organized!

emamasa · 09-11-2008

sounds great & the spreadsheet is awesome! I thought mine was pretty good, but wow - i need to "borrow" ideas from yours!

lisalovesmickey · 09-11-2008

AWESOME Spreadsheet! I love it! YOur plans look awesome.

I notice you are going to be in EPCOT on Friday the 19th in the evening.

We are having an Illuminations Meet n Greet at 8:30 by the water in Canada If you want to try and make it we would love to meet ya!

Your plans look great!

I also have to tell you how great your spreadsheet is. I have to show DH - he thinks I am nuts with my colored coded spreadsheet that I carry around everywhere to keep tweaking it!!!! I have to prove to him that I am not alone - I love organization!!

Have great trip - free dining sounds incredible (especially with that big family of yours!)

timkelmom · 09-11-2008

Love your spread sheet. Where did you get that? What a planner you are. I schedule ADR's and wing it from there. Great job!

snowmedia · 09-11-2008

Thanks! I am a web designer so building a web page for the itinerary felt like the easiest option for me.

I like to have the days planned out so we can be where we need to be for our ADR's. Plus we like taking advantage of the Extra Magic Hours.

If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. Of course at Disney even if you fail to plan it is a good time. ;)

I usually even plan which counter services we go to, but I didnt get finished with that part yet. Although even with that planned out we do not always follow the plan.
