I do something similar though I use a Word document instead of a spreadsheet. I, too, like to be able to look at my document and not rely strictly on my phone to keep track of our plans. What you do is a bit more extensive than my system though.

I do this as well. My current xlsx file has 4 sheets --
"Costs" - Where I detail all the trip cost -- Room, Tickets, Flights (including all flight information --Departure and arrival times, Flight number, etc.), etc.
"Day Planner" - Where I list all the parks/water parks/Disney Springs hours, fireworks/closing shows, special events, etc. Hours include EMH and are color coded for either Morning (yellow) or Evening (peach? dusky color) This page also has my reservation information - room, flights, ADRs (if/when applicable,) FP+ options (under park selected)
"EMH Attractions" -- Where I list all the current EMH attractions by Morning or Evening, sorted and color coded as to where in the park they are located. [And just because I am silly, and directionally challenged, I have listed the lands in a clockwise path from each park entrance.)
"Pandora" - Where I list all the current information on the new Pandora section of Animal Kingdom. (This gets changed as new 'lands' open up in the different parks -- Next will [probably] be "Star Wars")
I print out the Day Planner and EMH Attractions sheets to take with me, as well as give to family members (at home) so they will know where I am at any time....just in case.
I don't know if the is Disney OCD or just being *bleep* retentive. LOL

Disney has forced this on us with the new system. I am not complaining or attempting to start a debate about Fastpass +. However, it has come to the point that you need to plan ahead and make sure those plans are backed up. I can't imagine what a hassle if somehow the App failed or I couldn't connect to the WiFi. We have a party of 7 and there is less of a chance of being able to squeeze something in last minute if there is a snag. I don't totally hate the new system and it is nice to know that we can sleep in some mornings and then go to the parks and still use a Fastpass. However, I have scheduled the mornings that we are allowed to sleep in based on park calendars and schedules.
Very helpful information! Thanks everyone!!!!
