For me I booked our visit Oct 1st 2011. I been counting down since 344 days.
Its been such a long countdown and cant believe I am only 17 days out now.
Its been fun getting on these forums and seeing everyones countdowns and planning.
I think that planning is a lot of the fun. Right now I am working on four trips. Walt Disney World in Oct 2012, Paris Disneyland in Sept 2013, Disneyland in 2014, and Shanghai Disneyland in 2015. I would love to be at Shanghai on Opening Day.
