Is your daily life different with a Disney trip planned

It seems to me like work and everything else in "the real world" seems a little easier to handle and it's hard to get worried or upset when a Disney World trip is coming. Is this true for everyone or is the struggle real whether Disney is coming or not. I personally am just in a better mood with my trip only 62 days away. What's your thoughts.

I have a trip planned for June 16, 2015. I am a teacher. I can't think of anything else except my Disney trip. It definitely makes the days go by knowing that I have something special to look forward to! I am definitely in a good mood! My trip is 74 days away! Happy planning!:) Have a wonderful trip!:)

Yes. I'm planning my budget differently. Among other things, I'm eating out less and eating home more which is saving me money. It also has the added benefit of being a lifestyle change where I am eating better and losing weight albeit slowly. When I get to Disney, believe or not, even with ADRs I still lose weight by the time I get home because of all the walking I'm doing.

Also, I'm still kicking it on my Visa card and have it almost paid off in time for my next trip in May. But that's okay. I have my salaried income and supplemental income from an extra consulting job I do.

But what you're getting at is, yes, I'm in a better mood because I am constantly planning and massaging my upcoming trip. I have something to look forward to.

I'm planning one for the summer of 2016 and that's one of the things that keeps me motivated during a crappy work day, or driving the kids all over the place.

With that said, it makes the ride from the resort to the airport to head home that much more depressing every time.

The good thing for me is that even though I live out of state it's only a 7 hour drive to Disney for me, so it's not as hard for me because I know that if I needed just a day in Disney really bad it's not too tough on me to drive down for a day or two. Don't get me wrong though it's still depressing. As much as I am excited right now I'm already a little upset sometimes knowing that we will be leaving lol. I feel bad for all of you that live so far that you almost have to fly. That's got to be tough. I couldn't imagine lol.

It absolutely helps me to know I have a trip coming up! I intentionally scheduled ours this year right after the bulk of wedding season is over. I have several weekends in May-September where I have two weddings to photograph on back-to-back days (plus I won't have any weekends off in between) and I'm REALLY going to be ready for that vacation after all that :)

Before I no longer had Mondays, i.e., retired, the last couple of work days before our trip seemed to last about 48 hours each. "Hurry up and get here departure day!" And the afternoon of the last day at work before our trip, I quite frankly was thinking of other things than finishing that spreadsheet and setting my auto out of office reply for my e-mail and updating my voice mail message. And my packing list would grow to 2 pages so I'd have that conversation, "Do I really need to pack every Disney t-shirt I own? And won't 3 pairs of ears be okay? I can always buy another there." And the night before we leave, there's the phone call from my daughter "WE'RE GOING TO DISNEY!!!!!!" (yes, she is shouting in my ear on the phone) :)
