We look at pictures of past trips and talk about what ride we'll go on first and where everyone would like to eat. We have lots of fun with it!

We have to watch Nemo, Tower of Terror, Highschool Musical, POC, maybe The Haunted Mansion. This gets us in the Disney mood for sure. Cant wait we have 99 days togo.

I make lists and plans for months and weeks in advance. I never follow any of my lists or plans but it's my ritual. I look at pictures online and build my anticipation. Strange I know.
