Pre-Trip Report: 999 Days and Counting...

[Mr. Brass Bonanza]

I haven't been to Walt Disney World since March 2004, and Kerri hasn't been there since July 2003. We used to go several times a year, but then things kept coming up, and fortunately the best thing to hold us back happened in January...the birth of our twins! So yesterday, we were talking with my parents about when we would take the kids to WDW for the first time. I thought it would be a good idea to celebrate their third birthday there, which will be January 6, 2010. So, the plan is to fly down via accompanying grandparents frequent flyer miles to WDW on Saturday, January 2, 2010. Low and behold, I just looked and that's exactly 999 days from today.

So, at least we're under 1,000 days now and I finally have a WDW vacation to look forward to YEAH!!!

Welcome to the triple digit club!

Nothing like planning a trip!

You might want to call now for your ADRs. They book up awful fast.

I'm looking at my next trip being in 2009 (so it's great to hear I'm ahead of someone).

[BrerStitch]

Wow...and I pick on DW for planning a year in advance!! Congrats on getting the count under 4 digits.

And I wouldn't worry about the ADRs quite yet...unless you want Le Cellier. I hear that you can reserve that now, it just requires a spare kidney as a down payment!

I remember those trips, didn't you do a live report when you went alone? Come on, take the twins for their first haircut; you won't regret it. Look at my avatar, see the cute mouse ears you get

I gotta ask, do you already have a countdown timer on your desktop? I imagine you'll be so busy with twins that the next three years will fly by!

[pogo]

Good for you Mark.

Happy planning.

[DizNee143]

We've been planning our big 2008 trip since 2004, when my 2nd daughter was born. And the other day my DH said to me, "you can start planning our 2013 trip, when the kids are 10 and 8 1/2!"

Happy waiting!

Your twins will be providing so much entertainment in the next three years that your 999 days will fly by. have fun dreaming and planning Mark!

996 DAYS AND COUNTING...

Those three days went by fast! Yes, I did indeed post live trip reports when I was down there by myself. I think that was way back in 2000...good memory! Oh, and also 2004. don't have a countdown clock yet on my desktop because that actually becomes very distracting!

Hmmm...Sam and Amelia's first haircut at the Magic Kingdom. That is tempting. When do babies usually have their first?

[Lorraine444]

LOL!!!!!
Not much more to say.....
I thought I was bad!

"Don't put off 999 days what you can do tomorrow....
Happy Dreaming till that day (:

First of all, when did you have babies??? How did I miss that??? Congratulations.

Second, my youngest son (just turned one) BADLY needed a haircut when he was 8 months old, so you may not have much time if you want to make it down there for that.

In the meantime, happy planning for 2010!

[Bethanymouse]

Let the countdown begin!

We held off till Ethan was 14 months, although some people did think he was a girl

[imaprincess!]

Congratulations on the babies and your "upcoming" trip! You have time to plan the perfect vacation, that's for sure!

[ElenitaB]

Mark, welcome to the planning club! I know that I decided that we wouldn't go to WDW until my DS was 5, and that decision was made when he was around 2... three years was enough time to plan a memorable trip though!

The time will fly by
