Do not be sorry! I am SUPER crazy too; I am going to try to copy your spreadsheet idea for our holiday...thank you for sharing your craziness!!
Super fine tip colored markers??? YES!!! I'm off to the art store.
We are going on our trip in 51 weeks and I am already playing and planning. I LOVE excel, so I have a multi-tab spread sheet going. This includes budgets, QS locations/avoid, my gift card earning plan, everything.
I also have an awesome color-coded spread sheet going that is making me super happy.

I know things are going to change, especially with Avatar opening, but I love it! I am especially excited because this is going to be a more relaxed trip, without my in-laws or too many ADRs (They liked to sit-down almost every meal, I am limiting to a few faves).
So EXCITING!!!
My question is the title.... "Is anyone else crazy and love it?". Sorry if my post annoyed you.

For those of you who do this level of planning, curiosity question because we do nearly no planning whatsoever. If you've got a spreadsheet that maps out that level of detail and what ride you're supposed to be on and when, what do you do when things go sideways? It rains, a ride breaks, the line at ride X is twice as long as you had anticipated, you get stuck on IASM and listen to the music for 45 minutes? I'm not asking it in a negative tone, just curious to know how you roll with the punches when unforeseen things happen.
If you want crazy try this. I'm planning a Disney vacation for 11 people (Parents, partner, sisters, nephews) and as a way of getting all the information in one place I have taught myself coding and am building a website for them.....
Is that crazy?
I am crazy and love your crazy too! I currently have 3 different sheets going, Snacks and where we will find them, the itinerary for the entire trip, and a packing list. Some people may say it's nuts, but my kids love that I have everything we want to do together and organized. We don't follow step by step (the itinerary) but mostly do and that way we don't miss or forget to do/go somewhere we wanted to. At the end of the Disney day, my mind is mush and I need all the help I can get!
