    You go to Intercot 3 times a day to help tie you over to arrival .. of course, I am still 230 days out and I am doing this so ... maybe not a great example!

    Funny! My hubby says you can buy clothes there...just layer you undies and go. I think I have gotten to him.

    I too have been doing this since before we booked. LOL Maybe it's a sickness.

    Oh man, I've been doing this for the three years since our last trip. I must have a real problem.

    We leave in 10 days, but won't check-in (off property boo) until the 10th. Still, the start of the vacation feels like 10 days from now and I have been....

    Checking my attraction wait time ipad app obsessively.

    Playing our Disney music constantly.

    Putting on the Disney movies for our kids (as if that isn't a normal happening anyway)

    Making lots and lots of lists.

    Packing!

    For me it's when my itinerary is as complete as it can be. I'm a planner!
    If there is nothing left for me to plan then it must be time to go!

    Your hubby is right. For our 10 day trip last year, I only packed four shirts, and I bought the rest of the week's wardrobe while I was there!

    I'm double checking the Park times to make sure that haven't been any changes, I'm making the final touches to my costume for MNSSHP, and I'm starting to get REALLY excited!

    We are 10 days out and yesterday my husband started going through all his shirts he wants to take and added them to the box of Disney stuff and then my grandchildren came over and wanted to look at the Disney book again and asked how many sleeps till we go. Suitcases are in spare room and I made the list of what to pack... And also, as others have said, reading the intercot boards several times a day.
