367 days (but I'm not counting)

I have our rooms all booked. I have made plans for which parks we'll hit on which days. We've talked about where we want to eat. I've made spreadsheets and I've modified things to the point that we're be almost all set to go. I say almost because I don't have airfare or DME booked nor have I found a rental car. It's okay though because I still have a few days before I have to get that stuff - 367 of them (but I'm not counting ) . I'd love to put a ticker timer in my posts but while in my mind, I know where I'm going to get all the money, there's that small part of me that's not 100% sure I'll actually have enough in time. And I won't put a timer until I'm 100% sure we'll actually make the trip. The lack of a timer doesn't stop me from wondering how many days to go though. Nor does the length of time stop me from making plans, changing plans, or changing them again (and again ). And did I mention that I don't even want to take this trip next year? And you know why I don't want to take it next year? Because I want to go now darn it I don't want to wait a year but wait I must . It does kind of help though that the new Fantasyland isn't open yet but seeing how close they're getting has me excited to see it firsthand. I know once that opens, our trip won't come soon enough

We just got back from Disney a few weeks ago and got just a tease of the new Fanstasyland. Can't wait till it all opens. Guess I might have to start planning our next trip! I'm sure you"ll have a blast when you finally get there.

I would still count down! We aren't going back until next October, but it's still fun to watch the ticker drop every day!

IT always feel great to book your trip. The wait on the other hand is terrible! When we booked our last trip. It was 18th months away. I made smaller count downs to make the time go faster. Such as Xmas, then school being out, then school being in session. Don't forget your 180 booking window and you DD dance.

I remember when I started a countdown timer for our December 2012 trip. I think we had over 400 days. It seemed like it would never arrive! But then all of a sudden, we were in the 100s, then double digits, and then it was upon us!

Hope the time passes quickly and that the money piles up on schedule!

We ended up changing our trip and took 4 months off our trip, so I missed the one year mark! Congrats on yours though!

Love the title of this thread and just had to chime in

I'm going later this year but will probably be too early to enjoy the new Fantasyland. But I'll get there eventually.

Enjoy venting to fellow Disney nuts, start filling your piggy bank, and
