I'm 18 days away, and I'm curbing my enthusiasim by coming on here, the dibb, intercot etc to post away, look at pictures. I'm watching my Magic Kingdom dvd a lot and reading the Unoffical Guide from cover to cover.

Go out and do things, staying in is usually what makes me go crazy cause im bored and cant stop thinking about it. Visit with family and friends or something.

:ROFLOL: You sound exactly how I felt in the weeks before our last trip. And I was a doof and worked a 1/2 day on the day we flew out...talk about ants in the pants!! :hammer: I like the cartwheels idea, personally. Wish I would've thought of that. Don't try reading a book, there's no way you'll be able to stay focused enough on it. Maybe go see a movie? Call and catch up w/ old friends you haven't talked to in awhile? I also found that going to the gym helped me work out some of my excitement too.

I am now less then a month away. I start looking at all my pictures and watch as many shows about the parks as much as i can.

Not to mention on Saturday we sat outside and listened to the Magic Kingdom Audio Loop all day.

Do you have ADR's booked? Itinerary planned? Those are things you could do as well. I typed ours up w/ pictures and it was a great, fun, time-consuming project. And is great for the scrapbook!

We are only 22 days away and can't take it anymore.

We are starting our countdown rituals to further the anticipation.

Each night we listen to our theme park soundtracks while we cook dinner.

After dinner we watch a Disney movie each night until we leave.

Before bed we read a few pages from one of our Imagineer's Field Guides.

On the weekends we try to something preparation each week until we leave. ie. working on putting together our daily schedule worksheets, organizing our pins, pre-packing our carry on, shopping for our hotel room travel needs, researching counter service location menus etc.

I don't know if doing all this makes the anticipation easier to handle or worse. But either way it sure is fun.

I am right behind you at 8 days to go! I am packing today and have alot to do this weekend so I am hoping that will keep me busy and make the time go by faster..:lookaroun

So jealous I could scream!!!!

We still have 41 days left!

Today, hubby called from work to say that when he gets home we are going to go over our itinerary and make any adjustments that we think we need to do. Yesterday, I pulled out all of the new Disney wear that we have bought in the months leading up to our trip, and will now begin taking tags off and washing them to be prepared for their wearing destination of WDW.

This also means that I get to bring up from the basement, my two kids' Lightening McQueen suitcases! For some reason, this alone makes me very excited.
I also curiously, find myself ( and my husband, too) lingering around this website more and more as the trip nears.

Now where did I put that time accelerator?.........:drevil:

I usually just look at a whole bunch of pictures, watch all of the travel channel specials, and of course, park audio. Hang in there, hope you have a great trip!

I am going crazy!!! We have 19 more days and I am so excited. I called this morning and got another ADR so I am really excited. I am starting to pack a few little things in a basket and I am making a list so it's coming together. I just pray that the hurricanes stay AWAY!!! I am listening to my Disney music every where I go. I am soooo ready!!:sohappy:

20 Days and I am going crazy.

Re-designed my itinerary a 100 times I think. Our schedule is pretty solid so just messing with the design.

People at work cannot stand me anymore. I have to the minute updates on time left. (I honestly think time is moving slower - Something up with the moon:shrug::shrug

Went to the DIS store in the mall to get some dis dollars for the kids and that didn't help any HAHA all the music inside the store then the commercial for Disneyworld on the big screen.

:sohappy::sohappy::sohappy::sohappy::sohappy:

 

[rcapolete]

got 25 days to go and i am going nuts. I already laminated cards with all of or reservations on it. I am driving dw nuts trying to plan out exactly what are going to do. well guess i just have to wait it out like the rest of you and try not to drive myself completely crazy.
On the bright side the day we leave we have a 7:25am flight so wouldn't have to count the hours down on that day

Try to talk to someone who loves disney as much as you, since they will appreciate your need to cope with the excitement. The other non-disney folks and co-workers won't appreciate it or want to talk disney.

 

[danpam1024]

Try thinking about how much money it's costing you.

That'll curb your enthusiasm for a few moments....

 

[jsfra209]

excitment killer. :ROFLOL:

 

[rcapolete]

cost means nothing at this point. it is fully paid for, got free dining so not much out of pocket exspense.
