HELP!!!!!!!!! I Have DOCD

[Figgy1]

-Help. My planning is getting a little out of control! Booking lodging 1 year out and choosing my dinging 200 days out and booking at 180 days isn't abnormal but I think my packing compulsion is getting really bad! I have 14 vacation days not counting travel days. We are going to have a washer and dryer and my problem is I've packed 14 outfits for myself! I've also got a written list of the counter service places I want to eat at and snack locations are also listed. I've also got a Disney shopping list! Help I need less structure! or do I?

Welcome to the club!!! Seriously, I have a so many lists and sheets and plans that I have a binder that comes with us. Everything from ADR's to outfit lists to shopping lists to what new snacks I want to try. I mean, crazy! But I love it. Half the fun for me is to plan the trip!!! So I go all out! I book as soon as I can, ADR's 180 days out. I already have a daily schedule based on touring plans suggestions and which ADR's I want and I haven't even booked yet! Need to wait until later next month when the Feb 2014 packages are released. My DH was concerned with all this planning that the trip would be forced. And honestly, the more I plan, the less that happens. He really likes the style of planning and there is freedom during the days. So it works for both of us.

I get reemed and called the Disney Nazi around here. But I am not going to be so rigid on the planning that it can't all go out the window. I am 114 days out. Have most of my daughter's outfits planned/made. Still have to cut Mickey heads out of fabric for the autograph quilt. Have my lists made for the most part. Working with a personal shopper down there to help me get a special birthday bag together full of items only available in the parks for my daughter. ADR's are made and I have my laminated 4x6 cards with all the available snacks at each CS in all 4 parks to help with saving time and quick reference. If we never use them, oh well. It makes me feel prepared and helps me keep my mind on all the fun we are gonna have. So I say to all those haters, I love my DOCD and I will enjoy my trip that much more b/c of it.
