2 more sleeps until we leave.. Why do I always get so nervous?

[MOM POPPINS]

2 more sleeps until we leave. I always get so nervous before we actually leave. I guess its a combination of what am I forgetting and getting all our bags packed..

Sometimes I even feel sad that all this planning and it will all be over sooooooooooooo fast. We actually are going to be there 10 nights this time around, but those days just fly by when at Disney.

I have found the cure for me is to know before I leave that I have another trip already being planned... We are going back in November!

2 more sleeps... 2 more sleeps... I am to excited to sleep!!!!!!!

I feel your pain. I'm in a panic right before we leave. I worry about getting to the airport on time, forgeting something really important like luggage tags, money (even though everything is already paid for), weather...
I'm a nervous wreck up until we get through security at the airport. Then...

Oh, I am exactly the same way! I'm like a lunatic the few days before the cruise, I think it's because I'm such an overplanner (like most of us!) I always get that nervous/anxious feeling that I just can't shake! I'm sure it has to do with the fact that I've been planning and planning and it's hard to believe that it's finally here. As soon as I'm at the airport, it's totally gone! Then it's just excitement!

It's totally normal to be nervous before a trip. I'm always afraid the cab that's supposed to pick us up won't come on time or we'll miss the flight or it will get cancelled or something!

Have a great trip! We'll be joining you in 8 days.

Same here so nervous the few days before. Have to make sure you packed everything and you know we always pack way too much. Plus I hate the thought of the trip will be over before you know it. It does help to be able to plan another one. Have a great trip and enjoy every minute of it.

I pack, repack, make lists, make index cards, repack again, worry, plan, and never sleep the night before the trip. And yes, when the day FINALLY comes I start worrying because I know it will be over too soon. I actually find myself in the parks telling myself " savor this moment....make it last....ok I still have (x) time left....

I think I have issues.

I am so glad to know I'm not the only freak out there! We leave in the morning, make a quick stop at the beach and arrive at Disney on Sunday. Loading the car soon. I'm already dreading the time when I have to say goodbye to Mickey and come home. I am always thinking "one week from tonight we'll be at Epcot", but then it becomes "one week from today it will be over and we'll be home"

Thanks Dan!

I am glad I am not the only one who feels this way a few days before we leave.

 

[RocketCityMama]

You are not alone! I am there, leave tomorrow morning and I will be checking our packing list like 5 times tonight while I finish packing! Can't wait, have a great trip!

It's funny to hear you say that.......I talk about Disney EVERY day from the moment the date is set until the moment we leave the parks! I get so giddy just talking about and planning for the trip, my husband says I should just plan a trip for 10 years from now so that I will be in a good mood for the next 10 years

......as excited as I am to go on my WDW vacation, a few days before we leave
I almost get this feeling like I don't want to go anymore. This is crazy because I absolutely LOVE WDW and can't wait to go and have the time of my life. Is this anxiety? Something similar perhaps to what the rest of you are talking about? It's ridiculous and I chastise myself every time I feel that way. UGH!

Anyway, we're going Sept. 6-11, staying in one of the new THV's and(at least for now) cannot WAIT.
