That is nice to know but how did you work that out from how many days you have?

Take the date your going, and then work out the days in between, count the months, then the difference in days of the last month :P


That and I built a countdown timer.

We have 28 sleeps til our next trip. I have an app on my tablet which has been counting down from 300+ days so exciting that it is so close now! We have just told our kids (we go on the 1st Feb so told them on new years day) and we are now doing a Disney countdown. I have a blackboard count down thingy that I made and each morning the children find something new to do in the count down. So far we have had Make mickey Pizza, make Disney Mr Potato heads and today make a Mickey out of a paper plate. All good fun!

I don't think you guys are getting me. Here is an example of what I mean:


Say I had 296 Days until my next trip to Disneyland Paris, well how do I calculate how many SLEEPS I have left from how many DAYS I have left.


Do you get what I'm saying?

i get what you mean, if you have 296 days to go then you have 295 sleeps you have one less sleep than the amount of days as day 296 (in this case) is the day you leave =]

Sorry, but I have to disagree. If there is 1 day until my visit (i.e. I go tomorrow), then there is also 1 sleep until my visit (i.e. tonight). So the number of sleeps is equal to the number of days, not 1 less.

Well wouldn't it be 2 days including the day you actually go?

No - if that were true, then if I go today, it's 1 day until I go which is ridiculous.

It's a nice debate I sparked up here, but I think I'll go with SwipatronSparks
