The waiting is the hardest part

[Cinderelley]

Tom Petty had it right.

17 days 4 hours 45 mins and 40 seconds. . .

What do you guys do to pass the time besides stare at the My Disney Experience website?

We have always (since kids were very little and even know that they are HS and beyond) made a paper chain (strips of construction paper looped together) and we put as many loops as days until Disney. Every morning we cut off a loop. So exciting as the chain gets smaller and smaller. and then its the day we leave!!!

[Goofeygal]

I love the chain idea.

[KylesMom]

Look at photos of vacations past, knowing it is going to be yet another glorious trip!

Oh - and checking/re-checking my lists to make certain we don't forget anything! LOL

Oh I could do that starting at the 14 day mark. ( would seem weird to randomly start it now.) I work nights and Matt and I usually talk in the morning when I get off. We could cut one each morning when we talk.

I'm a travel nurse, so I don't have much. It is so much easier to travel light. What kinds of things do you have on your list?

[Cinderelley]

Maybe I could start packing - a little bit each day.

[Cinderelley]

I ordered some trading pins off of ebay. Now I can look for them in the mail every day.

[PopPhan]

I feel for you.

7 days, 15 hours (+/- 10 minutes) until takeoff and I have my MagicBands and my travel packet from Magical Journeys (Thanks, Denise!!)

Pulling things, a little at a time, to pack up, and seeing what I want to drag down with me. Just picked up some el-cheapo ponchos to keep in my pocket in case it rains (This IS Florida in May we're talking about!!!!)

Making a list of things that go in the bag last minute, so I can check them of before I close it up.

Driving everyone I work with nuts talking about going on vacation...and where!!


Yeah.....This is the tough part!

[Cinderelley]

hmm, ponchos. Maybe I should get a couple of those.

I have my timer set for when I land at MCO. Maybe I should change it to takeoff. Then it will seem like the time went by faster. :P

I stare at Intercot instead, throwing out my $.02 on any thread I can.

You can always tell when my family is getting ready to go to WDW, because i'm way more active on Intercot in the weeks leading up to a trip.

8 days, 8 minutes!

[Cinderelley]

Today I realized that I didn't account for the time change. Fixing that takes two hours off my countdown :P

Lol me too!!! I start getting stuff together at the 45 day mark. I start packing about 2 weeks out.


27 days 12 hours

Awesome!

[j2k]

It will not seem like it but the days will pass quickly and before you know it you will be there.

If I made a paper chain now it would be over 730 links long

Our next trip won't be until summer 2017.

Have fun!!

[Cass&KenziesMom]

Waiting is the hardest part and I am super jealous of all of these short waits you have! 86 days left for me!

[Cinderelley]

The good thing about the long waits, is that when we're all done with our trips and mourning over the fact that it's done, you guys will still be looking forward to yours.

My trading pins came in.
