To start making my day by day park plans? I am having such PDD and with all these people planning, I want to too. I have done this about 6months out, but never this far in advance..... Does anyone else start planning what ADR's and parks this early? I am fighting the urge to go to staples and start my latest WDW planning book...complete with coordinating pockets and envelopes for each day of my trip.

I know I am having PDD because the last time I went into the disney store (saturday) I actually welled up when I heard the sleeping beauty song.....to plan or not to plan guys?

No it is never to early. You should sketch out a plan from a top level (arrive today at ---- First day go to park ---- second day go to park ---). Then take time a imagine day one park...close your eyes and enter the park what do you see and do. Write it down like a journal entry. Then use that as a guide to for planing that day.

It is never to early Dana...you should know that by now ;-)

(by the way I get all teary when I watch illumnations...I don't know why I just do so sue me)

Definitely start planning Dana. Make your day to day plans keeping in mind the time of year you'll be there. Nothing major is going to change within the next 285 days that you can't start a real good basic plan.

As far as your ADR's- even though it's too early to make them, still plan them. Then use that handy ADR calculator I linked yesterday to remind you exactly when you can make them.

The fact that so many others are planning will only increase your excitement. Use their plans and TR's to psyche you up.

Get that book started and get ready to make changes along the way. It'll even make the time go by faster, and with all that advance planning, your trip will be so awesome, it'll be impossible to be unprepared.

Yes, I am going to start a rough sketch. I know it's never to early..I just wanted someone else to confirm that..lol I just woke up with the WDW bug and can't seem to help it today. I just want to start my latest planning book and drive DBF insane with little details. I talk about it in one way or another every time I see him and he keeps saying "isn't it 10 months away?" LOLOL Thanks guys....one sketch plan coming up!

It's your fault you know. you posted that threadto boss mouse and I haven't been able to control the ADr plans urge...next I'll start a packing list..lololol Thanks ingamba. You are the one who got me in this mood with your thread and your single digit dancing. I woke up WDW happy and seeing all these threads has me WDW planning happy.

I think I had everything right down to meals planned 11 months in advance. Some people just don't get it!

[WDWaddict]

No way! Um, I have made day by day park plans for a trip I haven't even booked before so, being the obsessive goober I am, I'd say it is never to early to plan!

I think we should all have 3,4,5, and 14 day plan ready just in case a trip gets sprung on us :-)

That's the ticket. We can call them emergency WDW trip plans..lol

Can not wait to be bored by your plan Dana :-)

The best thing about planning early? Inevitably, you'll get to scrap it all and start over again. Do that every month, and it will help PDD.

I think that you should plan. Not only that but do plan A, B, and C. Do a plan where you focus on you, do a plan where you focus on the kids, do a plan where you focus on DBF. Make that also plan D where you combine them all. There are endless pretend plans you can do in addition to your real one!

I just cannot believe you are asking this question....! It is NEVER too early to plan! However, if you were asking if it was too early to start packing, well....I would have to say yes! I think if you look in the Disney Fanatic Handbook you would see that you are LATE in starting to plan your trip in the fall. LOL!!! Plan On, Woman!!!

[Peppertink]

Hmmm..too early??? Too early??? TOO EARLY???!!!! Are you crazy woman? Plan away!
