  1. You start planning where to eat, which parks to do on which days, and what to pack and take, and you don’t even have a trip to go on or in the near future!

  2. While my husband was reading this aloud, I was making Tonga Toast for breakfast and Disney Parks music was playing in the background. Thankfully we have a trip planned that’s coming up soon. Not too sure how much longer we can hold out!!

    You know its time to go back to Disney when you see the Welcome to Disney your rearview mirror 😀

    DEBK replies: Exactly! Hope you enjoyed your Tonga Toast.
