How excited do you get as your trip gets closer ?

[gueli]

OK, you have been planning for months (years), you have booked your flights,You booked your rooms, you have made ADR's and all other possible arrangements. Now you reach that mark where you finish paying for the resorts...you know your about 45 days out...
Its almost here.
Anticipation.
How excited do you get as you get closer ?

[lighteningqueen]

To the point that I cannot function without the word Disney coming out of my mouth. The family get so tired of me telling them what I learned on the forums and what we are eating and so on and so on. 52 days and it will go fast at this point. Just need to finish paying on the 23rd...

So excited that I'm checking INTERCOT 50 times a day instead of the usual 25+ - yes, I'm an addict and I admit it! 38 days 21 hours and 5 minutes to go!!!! Haven't gotten my ME documents yet...UH Oh!

[Belster]

I may be strange...I live for Disney all year I am crazy talking about the trip, planning it and soooooo excited!!! But about 3 weeks before I lose my excitement and begin to stress about getting everything done.

Don't get me wrong I am sooooooooo excited for 10/24 to be here...but I could use a few more days to tie up some lose ends. Anyone else???

[TKDONALD]

Words cant explain it!!!!!!
I leave on Nov 5 to go to WDW!!!!

45 days? I start getting nervous if the reservations are finalized 300 days out!!

[PixieDreams27]

So excited now that it seems just a short time away. We have a grand gathering of 8 with a first ever visit for some and an engagement in front of the castle. Lets all hope she says, yes. How excited are we to be staying in the Kidani Villas Well enough said. Whooo Hoooo

[MushuGrl]

I'm like Belster. Right now, I'm so excited I can't stand myself. Everything's booked, ADR's are coming up quick...

But the closer it gets, the more I'll worry about weather (we'll be leaving a few days before the one-year anniversary of the HUGE ice storm part of the country went through last year, including us), and sickness (my mom is currently in remission from ovarian cancer, but seems like every January since she was diagnosed, she's been put back on chemo, and we are her caretakers), and car trouble (why not when I worry about everything else, lol!). I'll stress over it until our first overnight stop on the way...then I'm good!

What will REALLY get me fired up is hitting the first Florida rest stop - that seems to be when it REALLY hits me that we're AL.MOST.THERE.

OK how pathetic is this....I'm so excited that tommorow marks the one year date to my next trip! I'm excited to be able to say "one year from now we'll be on our way" and then I can say that it's less then a year away! I just get worse as the months go by, I talk about Disney every day, what ADR's I want to get, shows and attractions that are must do's, etc.

The whole month before I'm useless, all I think, say and do is Disney....As I said I'm pathetic but hey that's me.

We have 28 more days to go - I love holidays and hate when they are rushed but this year I cannot wait for Halloween to be over and November rolls in! I can't believe how fast the 90 day and 45 day mark came just hoping 28 speeds up just as fast so it can slow down for us to enjoy our 2 week holiday vacation!

[Melliesmom]

Really??? Excited??? Come on...you've got to be kidding! NO I am kidding!!!!! I only have 21 days to go and I really can't even function! I have checked my ADR's 50 times already, looked at the park hours schedule 50 times, checked Intercot 50 times, and have picked up my paperwork at least 50 times (and that's only today!)! It's a surprise for my granddaughter, so now I have to try and pack on the sly...she's 9 so it's not like I can have anything sitting out! But can't do that until we get a little closer so I can see the weather. I do have my incidentals packed and plane stuff ready to go, but usually I have EVERYTHING ready by 3 weeks before! I eat, sleep and speak about it and even my husband has been asking and talking about it. Trying to make t-shirts up for the 4 of us. OH well, it will all happen....

[Jeri Lynn]

I get so excited that I even have a countdown to when I take out my suitcase....which by the way is at the thirty day mark, which will be on Thursday....then I will have a countdown to when I will ship a couple boxes down...which will be in 22 days....and then I email my fellow travelers every couple days to give them an update....

[coneygoil]

My family and I just got back from WDW about almost a month ago, and as soon as I got home, I was planning the next trip for April '10! I haven't made reservations yet, but it's all I think about! And I'm also extra excited, because my husband will be going with me for the first time.

But I dream/plan for WDW all the time, so I'm always excited no matter if it's a few weeks away or 8 months away!

[Loweschevy]

By days 20-30 you are numb, the time cannot go by any slower

We go in October, so the time does pass slowly, but the weather changes so you look forward to the heat.

By days 19-10
It is hard to stay on task at work without checking out and being totally absent minded

With under 10 to go I get pretty nutty, but try to control myself.

keep adding to the clothes pile, make mousekeeping envelopes and begin checking the weather forecast.

I hope you have a great trip!

27 for us, and right there with you--want to fast-forward to the day!!! My husband even asked me if I wanted to tear off his big work calendar page that I stare at every night in the tub (it's on his closet door). Y-e-s I did!
Hurry, hurry! I officially starting packing today. I put the toothpaste in the suitcase. That counts!

[jennsky]

We leave in 4 days. I don't know what to do with myself. I've packed the bags, repacked the bags, I'm listening to Disney music, I'm talking about what we're gonna do there....ahh!! I don't know how I'm gonna fill my time until Friday!!

[TinkerBell-Bell]

Our next trip isn't until August next year and already the family is going crazy with anticipation. It's under 300 days now (295 days) and when I visited Facebook on five days ago, all the posts off my mother, father and brothers were shouting out that it was only 300 days. So of course I had to join in too. Needless to say, the closer it gets, the more excited I get, although hopefully I won't just write "going to Florida in X days" on my exam papers beforehand.

[kemps@wdw]

OMG! The advance (8 mos to a yr) planning for supplies, clothes, accessories, ADR confirmations, resort confirmations (doing both of these multiple times) is bad enough, But as I get closer, I find myself watching the Disney dvd more often, reading and re-reading my guides/books, checking Intercot more often, listening to my Disney cd's and Ipod constantly, getting my daily fix of "Mouse House Radio" on live 365, and even checking daily Orlando weather on XM radio! (is that weird?)

[EllieMae]

I am normally so excited and can't think of anything else! This year's trip, I am super excited... but it's for my honeymoon and with the business of finalizing wedding plans and being a Kindergarten teacher I often forget I am even going to WDW this year!! But then there is the occasional moment when I remember and its I just can't wait until my wedding gets here and I get to enjoy our wonderful day and then I will be super pumped about our wonderful honeymoon trip!
