Single digits are sooo close, and I can hardly contain my excitement! For me, 10 days to go is the most magical part of the countdown. It’s that sweet spot where the anticipation is buzzing, the to-do lists are shrinking, and the Disney daydreams feel so real you can almost hear the parade music.

For me, this milestone means it’s time to wrap up things around the office. I love that meme that says PTO = Prepare The Others — because it’s so true! Making sure everything is squared away at work helps me fully enjoy the trip without those lingering “did I forget something?” thoughts.
Since my husband and daughter aren’t joining me this time, I also make sure household tasks are covered before I go. Yes, my husband can absolutely handle things, but it makes my time away feel so much better knowing the everyday responsibilities I usually manage have been communicated. It’s my way of giving myself permission to relax once I’m gone.

And of course, it’s laundry time! Those last-minute loads are part of the ritual — making sure favorite outfits are ready, cozy travel clothes are packed, and nothing gets left behind.
But here’s the thing: 10 days to go can look different for every household. For some, it’s about finalizing dining reservations or printing park maps. For others, it’s stocking up on snacks, organizing autograph books, or planning that perfect travel playlist.
💫 For me, it’s all about tying up loose ends so I can step into Disney magic with a clear mind and an open heart.
