When you feel like you've planned everything out...puts your books/brochures, etc. away (compleeeetely away) and STOP planning.

Then get on here and read trip report after trip report...devour as many as you can...and soon you'll be running for your books and dragging them back out again because you'll have so many new ideas and/or things you want to check out thanks to other people's TRs!

That's a very cute countdown idea. I think I'll do that with my kids when school is out. The big kids still have testing, and they're already pumped enough about Disney! I need for them to focus on school just a little bit longer!

OOOOHHHHHH, great idea! I'll work on that this weekend. Today is day 104 and counting!!

I also suggest looking at how you are going to get from place to place if you haven't already done so; I made sure that we used each of the different modes of transportation.

And definitely read trip reports... lots and lots of them! And books, have you read your books!! ok, gettig manic!

Oh, I like that too! And the one about a $1 a day in a jug... I can find a dollar, right? And that would be another $100 saved! yippee!

I have Disney movie nights, go the the Disney Store, get a packing list going and just basically just anxiously await for the departure date.
