Upcoming Holiday Excitement

[Little Flower]

I just need to vent off a little of the excitement i am feeling about our upcoming holiday before i get so distracted i get no work done today. Post here all your excitements, and what you are looking forward to so that we can all do the happy dance together.:banana: :banana: :banana:

My major excitements are:

1) First morning of the trip - Seaworld - feeding the dolphins:cloud9:

2) Finally getting to see Wishes, Illuminations, Fantasmic.:wizard:

3) Getting into the hire car at the airport and driving to the resort. I could just burst with the anticipation:cheer2:

4) Getting to spend some really happy time with my husband with no distractions:hug:

[Lizzy Lemon]

There's no one thing I'm really excited about IT'S THE WHOLE THING I'm excited about. I've wanted to visit WDW since I was a teenager (now mid 40's) and what's made me finally get DH to say yes to going is our 25th Wedding anniversary. I didn't have the wedding I wanted (parental interferance) so I'm bloomin' well having the anniversary I want.

I love it when you walk out of the airport and the Florida heat hits you and you know that you have finally arrived. :goodvibes

Also, the first time each trip you see the Castle and Epcot Globe is great. :banana:

[wickesy]

I'm looking forward to seeing how much has changed in the last 15 years and having the freedom of a hire car this time so we can get off property a bit more.

Sorry, but mine is not a Florida holiday excitement - it's a due to be flying out to Boston in a week's time for another American Ski Adventure in snowy Vermoney at Killington, so that 'Florida heat' will (I hope;) ) be replaced with a blast of icy Vermont air and snow:cool2:

We (and our friends who we are travelling with) booked this holiday nearly a year ago, so it's been a long time coming . . . can't wait :cool1: :goodvibes :cool1:

Just need DH Darryl's back to get better (a daily trip to the chiro at the moment was NOT on the cards), otherwise he will not be skiing:sad1:

[jjk]

Seeing our Favourite Villa again(we have stayed here the last two trips)
The look on DS best friends face as it will be his first trip:banana: :banana:

[crabbie1]

There are so many things but I too love the bulid up and the night before we go-we lie in bed too excited to sleep.The whole airport thing as well.Seeing my DD4's face when she see's the characters and my husband with Pluto who cries after hugging him(he would kill me if he saw this!!).The whole holiday -the food the ambience. Everything.:dance3: :banana: :rotfl: :cheer2: :idea:

We went to Florida for the first time last year. We all loved it.

When we came home everyone was sad :sad1: . A few weeks went passed and we decided to book another holiday for this year. Back off to florida to experience the magic all over again.

I've had a few comments from others who can't understand why all five of us want to go back! Are they mad? I've never had such a fantastic holiday before. I can't ever expect I'll have enough. I know I want to go back next year and this years holiday hasn't begun.

There's only 9 sleeps until we fly from Manchester. I can't wait until I walk out of the airport - that's when it will hit home that I'm finally back!

I loved the way I could shop and buy a gallon of milk - yeah I know how English to find that interesting! But still.....

And the fresh fruit, I loved the pre cut watermellon.

I could go on and on, I feel in love with the place last year. It's all good! :woohoo:

That's it! Exactly that moment!!:cool1: :cool1:

[scottishsue]

That's it! Exactly that moment!!:cool1: :cool1:

That is the best feeling in the world - I get so excited once we have landed !!

[Haworthfamily]

We are really looking forward to............
1. Stepping out of the airport after getting through all the security and that heat and Flordia smell hitting you.

2. Jumping in our villa pool as soon as we get to the villa - forget un packing whip out the costuems and we are in.

3. Travelling on the monirail and coming through the cotemporary resort, knowing that on the other side is the castle!

4.And husband will enjoy every minute of the flight there and back!

[wideeyes]

This is my first trip and I am looking forward to taking my DD to the storybook princess meal and Cinderella Gala feast, can't wait to see her reaction when she sees all the princesses.
Also looking forward to Epcot, AK, seeing Cinderellas castle, wishes, parades.

I'm spending my birthday in June at WDW with dinner at California Grill in the evening for the fireworks! I'm really excited about this:banana:

The only problem is i have no idea what to do for my birthday itself. Any ideas?

[PoppyAnna]

Leaving in 25 Days and I just can't wait. My eldest DD is four tomorrow and we are having a princess themed party on Saturday to get us in the mood (as if we need it!):cheer2:

Like wide eyes I'm most looking forward to my girls (4 & 19mo) faces at the princess: Princess storybook lunch when they see all the Princesses, this is on our first day. My eldest gets so excited when we just go to the Disney store, can you imagine what it's going to be like for them, I don't think we can. :banana:

Seeing my Mum see it all for the first time, amazing when you try to explain just the sheer scale to a newbie, never really does it justice.

For myself I'm looking forward to being with my family in the pure escapism that is Disney and Orlando :grouphug: the bliss of two weeks without the school run, cooking three meals etc. Fantasmic, MGM and Bubba Gumps (universal citywalk) and all the food generally!

The Supermarket!!!! Call me sad but I love that first supermarket shop.

I eat, sleep Disney at the moment!

[Twilight Terror]

There are too many things to narrow it down. It's still over 4months til we go, but I'm still excited about it! Let's see if I can think of at least a few:

- staying on-site for first time ever
- finally getting to see Fantasmic; seeing Wishes and Illuminations without having to watch from the car park while waiting for transport!
- EMH
- Pirates & Princess Party
- Water Parks most mornings!

And not Orlando-related, but designing my website! My dad can't come with us, so I'm doing a website that we can update daily while away so he can get a day-by-day account of what we've been up to!

Getting to FL is more like a horse race for me, where I have several hurdles I need to jump before I'm there and can believe I'm there, the excitement growing with each one, and they consist of: Going to bed the night before, catching the tube/Gatwick Express to airport, take off, landing, collecting the luggage, getting transfer, check-in and entering hotel room.

Even right this minute I'm thinking: :banana: :cool1: :thumbsup2 :cheer2: :woohoo: :yay: And it's not exactly close yet!

[happyj]

I get excited at gatwick because i know we are here at last then orlando airport then WLV for the first time also eating at california grill the first time and just the 18 days of magic sooooooo excited:dance3: :dance3: :dance3:

[sarahc]

This will be our first trip back since having DD now 4 and it will be her first trip ever!!! She's been to DLP and loves it there so I can't imagine what she'll think of WDW! Can't wait to find out either!:cloud9:
