I thought I saw a thread or article on the main site that had a "to-do" lists for the week before you leave.

Can anyone help me find this or am I nuts?

Thanks.

Generally and in no particular order I:
-Lose focus at work
-Pack and re-pack
-Review our itinerary, again
-Check the weather reports for home and Orlando
-Remind my co-workers that while they will be working, I will be at Walt Disney World.:D
-Lose sleep the night before I leave!
-Leave too early for the airport!

I generally drive my kids nuts with questions about what they want to do. Turn my "change" cookie jar into cash. CHARGE my batteries so my camera is ready. Go out and buy a new toothbrush to pack and in the meantime buy a lot of stuff I don't need but then when I get there was glad I did. Things that I bought last month that I was glad I did: ponchos, though we only used them for Splash Mnt., $1. size liquid tide ($4 @ the resort) and new suitcases.
