4/24 - Yachtsman Steakhouse - 5:30 pm
4/27 - Cinderella's Royal Table - 8:15 am

Good lineup??? So looking forward to BOG. We've done CRT and Via before so we know what to expect there.

Yachtsman is for date night, so DH and I are excited about that. And I think I will love Cape May!

So exciting! We are going to do a 101 Dalmatian movie night where we get to where you are. We still have to wait another 122 days just to be where you are though!
The yacht club is lovely - you'll have such a great time!
The girls look so happy with their dolls - which ones did they get? MY daughter has Jess and Mia and she still plays with them sometimes.

The 101 Dalmations idea is very clever!!! Wish I had thought of that.

The girls got the ones that are supposed to look like them. They named them Margo and Mya... They have played with them alot, but I suspect that interest will wane soon...you know how kids are...

I was just thinking about DH and my date night that we have planned in April....I am soooooo excited. We had a date night when we went in July, but we just went to Artist Point while the kids were in the kids club and then we went and got them. It was the first time we had left them in one, so we were eager to get them back.

Well, they had a great time! So, we are looking forward to it again this time, but for longer. We are going to Yachtsman Steakhouse and then plan on walking around World Showcase afterwards, having drinks and snacks. We also might go to Jellyrolls as well. I think it will be a great night and I am so looking forward to it!!!

I believe I have mentioned the thought of Yacht Club Club Level 1 or 2 or 30 times....

Well, it's done. Final "tweak" to the plans. Now, we have perfection....

[Mousemommy1]

we all know about Post Disney Depression

But, I also get pre-Disney funk

I've noticed that a couple of months out from my trips, when the plans are perfect, the binder is in order and there is nothing to do but....wait....I find myself less excited about the trip.

Not like I don't want to go, it's just that I think I've consumed myself with the plans so much that I can't do it anymore. I start to worry about getting sick, or elderly grandparents, and just anything and everything that could go wrong in the time leading up to my trip. It's probably ridiculous and irrational, but I don't want to get emotionally attached to my trip or something...

Every single time though, I get to about 4-6 weeks out and start getting frantic again! Then I have to shop, and pack, and go over the plans again!!!

So, here I am, in my funk...waiting to get my Disney mojo back!!!!

Does anyone else experience the pre-Disney funk???

Subing.

I read all your plans. Tell me though,'cause I didn't catch it, what resort are you staying at?

Oh,and I COMPLETELY understand the "Disney funk". Now that the planning is done, and we are just waiting, it's very depressing. It's like the excitement got sucked out.

You're going during the same time frame as us! Except you have a day longer.

We're Dark Siders. We're staying off-site, in a townhouse at Windsor Hills Resort. Before we made our reservation, we changed houses about 10 times. I'm pretty sure we will be sticking with the one we've paid for, but I'm crazy, so you never know! We're pretty happy, so I doubt we will change. Dining reservations on the other hand...Those are more likely to change.

OMG Candace!! This condition that you describe is the reason why I think I got us all involved in the dog drama!!! I am bored now!! I know EXACTLY what you mean. You get in the right groove with your trip, and then you feel empty. What now???

Girl, we need to meet up one day I am telling you.

Ahhhh, an ADR changer!!!! I do admit that I have been prone to that as well, because you know....when I change resorts, I have to change to ADR's close to the resort.

Well, it looks like you have a big group going. You'll probably be happy to have a nice space to spread out in!

jen I think that's why we are resort changers!! If we're not planning, were not alive!!!
But yeah, a dog would have been something to focus your attention on, especially that little rascal by the sounds of it.
I do hope we have the opportunity to meet up someday....we would be able to keep each other occupied while we wait! Or just enable the changing even more...

I can't believe I called CRO last night!!
But again, I didn't want to watch the Pats anymore, so I called about the Poly....but when CRO answered, I got scared that a GVCL room would be available...so I think that means I am really happy with YC CL....I feel very happy about it....no more calling!
