Probably the longest two weeks of my life...

Well, with less than 2 weeks before Dough-girl and I head off to DisneyWorld, it seems like these are going to be the absolute two longest weeks of my life.

If you managed to read my last post...yes it was kind of long-winded and confusing, but it's not really that confusing, once you sort out the stuff you're not going to see or do. The biggest thing is to don't second guess your decisions. I've read so many threads on WDW related baords where people actually make 2-4 different dinner reservations for each night because they cannot make up thier mind and then a day or 2 before the reservation cancel the ones they are not going to use. This I feel is crazy, you're tying up seats that could've been reserved by others months ago, thus forcing us to either reserve at our 2nd or 3rd choice for dinner, and then we have to call within the 2 day window and hope we can get the reservations we wanted, and then cancel the ones we had made months ago...then we were tying up seats that others could've reserved.....AHHHHHH, the madness.....LOL

So, as my ever-so-kind over-planning sister commented about in my last thread... NO, I DID NOT PLAN THE BATHROOM BREAKS!!!??? OMG...I FORGOT TO PLAN BATHROOM BREAKS...PANIC TIME !!!!! I'll have to re-do all the plans, change reservations...... NOT!!! Our plans are not that detailed, nor are they that tight that we'll be stopping at a certain time to pee. Give me a break, I'm not as bad as Biscuit-Girl.

So, As I've been printing out iteneraries and sample park schedules (They're ONLY sample plans), this we can see if riding Space Mountian is better in the morning or afternoon as far as the lines and crowds are concerned. And since it's just the wife and myself, we can skip the kiddie rides and shows and move onto riding Dumbo a second time before we stop for lunch. And these sample schedules also tell you things like if the temperature is below 65 that morning, then you need to skip certain things at Animal Kingdom, since the "guests of honor" won't be out. Or if it's too hot many of them won't be very active. Other things include like not riding certain rides in the morning and getting a fast-pass to ride it later in the day. According the the "experts" they say two active adults can see everything in the Magic Kingdom in one day and still have time to relax and not fight the crowds or long lines.

Anyway, it's back to the planning (now where are the closest bathrooms to space mountain on the way to Main Street?). Oh, and If I think about it (or have time), I'll maybe post some day-to-day reports live from Disney....
