If you bought the account online, it either ends up waiting til the trial period ends, or it confirms the funds from your bank account. If it's waiting on confirming the funds, it's probably due to the holiday. I was in the same boat when I got a 2nd account for my fiance' and I to house bank toons/etc - Quite frustrating to have to wait it out.
I hope your enjoying your druid! I just got mine to 75, and am really enjoying it! Once you get your UI all setup, you'll have to send us a screenshot

Oh! Almost forgot! The only things that I can think of to help you level quickly are the following suggestions:
1) Don't buy a ton of gear on the AH (Waste of money) - Quests Rewards are meant to do this for you, and loot drops have been increased. Save your money for riding training, and epic riding training... both of which make traveling faster.
2) Have a mage port you to Shattrath or Dalaran (if you have either expansion). This way you can set your hearth here, and have a teleport to any major city every 30 minutes. Makes traveling that much easier.
3) Get an addon called "Zygor's Leveling Guide". It's a "paid for" addon, and actually has a license file that goes with it. I'm sure you can find it for free somewhere if you don't want to pay. But, when matched with a map addon like TomTom it walks you through step by step on what to do next while at your level. TomTom actually gives you an arrow on screen that points you to the next area. The most difficult thing about it is figuring out where you're at if you're starting part way in lol
I like this addon more than quest helper mostly because it provides more structure while leveling, and this is something I desperately require. It mostly keeps me from getting what I need from a quest, and going on to the next one, only to realize that another quest in my book was back where I just did the last one.
