| I use the PP deluxe and agree with the others about reading it cover to cover. I have also added a calendar with the countdown to our next trip. I begin my research with park hours, extra magic hours and special events(most of this info is posted on Disney.com 7-8 months in advance. Once I schedule which park we are attending on which day I make our ADRs. Once our schedule is complete I transfer everything to our pockets so I may review each days itenerary. I remove unnecessary pages from my PP so that I may have room for the pockets. When we are two weeks away from our vacation I prepare our envelopes (Disney Dollar envelopes are perfect for this) for mousekeeping and put each one in the pocket for that day. I also keep a small amount of cash (again in a DD envelope) for each day in my pockets. An envelope is created for each child which contains their own spending money. At the end of the day I add all my receipts to the pocket so that I have them so I can review the total that I have spent for the day so I can make adjustments to our budget for the next day of our trip and to plan future trips. I use the DD envelopes to store cash and receipts for our travel to and from Disney and to again plan future trips and store these in our PP pockets set aside for our travel. Creating these pockets builds anticipation of the trip and keeps me organized which is hard enough to do when planning a trip for five people.
