    Default Do you have "that moment"?

    Like I am having right now... You've planned your trip, made all the arrangements, know you're going, but them it hits you - I'm going to Disney World! I'm having it right now. Not getting much work done because of it! We were there in April for a day and will be there in September for a week too, but knowing we're going next weekend! AHH! And we'll arrive to MK later in the day so we'll have to take the tram in from the parking lot (very important to me, all part of the arrival experience) then the monorail, then, then, then... I feel lile a little kid! I can't wait!

    Anyone else get that feeling?? That moment when it hits you?

    I'm also having that moment right now. I was on my way to work thinking about the events from last night. My wife was having a stressfull day. We went for a walk and were talking about how much Disney has been a part of our lives. She had mentioned on a couple different occasions that she could really use a trip to Disney, but no just a day trip, but an actual vacation. Then I began to fomulate a plan to get the money together, what days to go. By the time I completed my morning commute, I had the entire vacation planned in my mind. I called her to let her know, and it turned her mood right around. Thats when it hit me, we are going for an extended vacation to Disney

    I have that moment all the time. Someone from Florida once told me that there's more to Florida than Disney World. Apparently she didn't know what she was talking about. LOL

    I get kind of an opposite feeling -- The trip is all planned, paid for, ADRs made, etc....THEN I get the feeling like 'is this trip going to live up to the last one?' 'Isn't it getting "old" yet?

    BUT, once the first day of the vacation comes, I'm ready!!

    i get that moment all the time....
    the two i remember the most was in 2007 my friend and i booked our vacation, literally 2 weeks before we went. did it in my office on the speaker phone. ha. and when he left it hit me...wow, in 2 weeks i'll be on a plane headed to disney.
    the other moment i had was actaully in Orlando. I hadn't been to Disney in 8 years or so. My family use to go all the time and as a kid i loved it, but this would be my first trip as an adult. I planned it all, and went w/ my brother and gf. We got to orlando and got our rental car. We paid extra and had a convertable. So it was about 10 30, my gf was driving and brother in front seat. I was laying down in the back, with the roof down, and as we were going down the highway, i saw all these billboards w/ all the places I had read about and thought about going...I was smiling thinking that w/ all the planning and hours of anticipating, the dice was cast and i was here. had money and tickets in my wallet. and tomorrow morning i would be going to the happiest place on earth....

    With three months a couple days to go I'm struggling to get through each day. It has rained every day for months in the great Pacific NW and work just drags. I have paid our vacation off and have started putting things together to take...sun tan lotion, $ store items, etc... Check the boards out every day and go over our ADR's often. I have not had the moment yet but I know it will come.

    Yep! Having that moment right now - I leave on Saturday morning for a quick 3 day trip. I'm so happy. There are terrible lay offs going on at my company and when I come back, I have a meeting with my "big boss", whom I've never met before. We know he's sizing us up to see who should stay and who should go - so I can REALLY use the nice time at Disney to forget about all of that! Can't wait!!!

    Yep - I'm having it right now. I'm listening to live365 and visiting intercot and it just hit me that I'm going to Disney in 9 days!!!
    We decided about a week and a half ago to take a spur of the moment trip so we could see the Main St Electrical Parade. My DH is playing along - he knows what a Disney fanatic I am and is going with me as an early birthday present. My two grown DD's are also going - 20 and 21. I'm so excited. I usually spend MONTHS planning the perfect trip to Disney. I've never just decided to go to Disney for a day! We are only going for a day but it will be FUN!!!

    I'm starting to get that feeling now. I believe I have finally tweaked all my ADR's. Everything has been well timed-out: Time for breakfast, lunch, dinner, naps, pool time, animal watching at AKL, and sleep. I'm getting so happy just thinking about all this. I'm going with a good friend who hasn't been to WDW for 20 years!!! It'll be like a whole new place for her. Sharing something that means so much to me feels great.

    I always have the "I REALLY wanna go" moments. But now that we're ready to book for October, I'm having the "let's get this show on the road" moments!

    I love that feeling - the excitement of planning is one of my favorite parts, then to finally be there and see it come to fruition is truly amazing. Have a magical trip!

    Having that moment on a daily basis! I paid off our trip just 3 three days ago and there is now nothing to do but wait! It's planned, ADR's are made, we've planned out our daily activities ... and we are just giddy with excitement! We're going to Disney!
