the spreadsheet

Years ago, when I let Dreams Unlimited do my planning for me, the travel agent would prepare a spreadsheet showing park times, parades, etc., as well as all of our flight/hotel/dining reservations.  She'd also throw "dinsey travel tips" onto the spreadsheet. 

(Loved my DU agent Linda, she was great ....too bad she had a falling out with the boss man....)

So now that I'm doing my own planning, I made a spreadsheet of my own. 

So D. showed it to his housemate Marc....D. hasn't been to WDW since 1987, when it was only 2 parks and we didn't do any sit-down dinners, and Marc has NEVER been to the World....

and Marc said "she must have OCD...."


and D said "aren't you supposed to just go with the flow on vacations?"


and I laughed....

so much news

so over the weekend we booked the trip -- fly down on on a Sunday, fly home the following Monday.  Stay the first night in an inexpensive place in Kissemee or on International Drive (not booked yet), then check into Coronado Springs Monday-Frida, then  Friday-Monday at the Royal Pacific.  We're renting a car.  ADR's for Marrakesh, Sci Fi Drive In, Le Cellier, Tony's Town Square and Chef Mickey have been booked -- subject to change, of course. 

Made a spread sheet with all our reservation information, park hours, etc. 

Now the long wait....

happy happy joy joy

Coronado Springs

That's the resort he's looking into right now....It's one I've never been to, but it looks lovely. 

Need to find the Birnbaum book to get some good information....then follow up with a few website visitis.

the trip is back on!

Let the planning begin!
