before vaca do you get too excited to sit still?

[imgoingtodisney]

What do you do with this energy? Clean house? Can you actually sit down to a book? Do you get any sleep right before you leave?

 

[JohnTBap]

DIS!

 

[nativetxn]

I read all the trip reports I can find and I reply to them too. It keeps the excitement going and it's fun

 

[BounceyOne]

I tend to spend ALOT more time here right before my trip. And my house is usually spotless when we leave.
My hubbie is worse ten me though, he looses sleep. Especially the night before

 

[PandyPaws]

Yes...clean the house, lots of last minute details that usually keep me going right up until it's time to leave, and DIS in between. I always try to get it all done in enough time to allow the day before departure for relaxing and getting to bed early but it never, ever ends up that way I won't relax until I'm in the car and on my way on Thursday morning

 

[EROS]

I'm usually completely EXHAUSTED by the time we leave. It takes me several weeks to get things in order for vacation. I don't really start getting excited until we're on the plane ........

I am now in that anxiety/excitement/full of energy mode (well full of energy usually at night though!!!!) I leave in 12 days and I have so many things to do with my volunteer stuff that I'm glad I packed two weeks ago now!!! I didn't think I'd be THIS busy before I left. But that's what keeps me going - but then I start to panic because I think I've forgotten to do something. I will relax as soon as I step off that airplane in Orlando!!!!! But usually I relax after the first day of driving - I sit in the car and think, did I turn the coffee pot off, did I unplug the things I wanted to make sure were unplugged, did we really lock all the doors!!!! ROFL

 

[browneyes]

Too excited, little or no sleep, and I get a little hyper. You do not want near me when I'm hyper. I drive myself crazy, so I know I drive those around me crazy.

I can't sleep, I clean and do laundry like crazy, I pack and re-pack, I Dis, and re-read every WDW planning book I own (about 10). Then I do it all over again.

The sad part is, I don't leave for 40-some days, and I have already begun the packing list, and the not sleeping. This may be the last time we all go as a family, and I want everything in order. I'll be exhausted by the time we leave.

 

[Dream]

NEVER any sleep the night before!! I'm usually here alot...ya'll are the only ones who understand the mania!!! We leave on Christmas day this year...Christmas Eve should be awesome!!!

 

[dianeschlicht]

That is a great big YES !!!

I start packing about a month ahead! Then the night before, I keep getting up an checking the suitcase to make sure I packed everything!

 

[CrazyBoutDisney]

In that very mode now!! It's only 10 days and a wake up and I can't concentrate at work, all I want to do is DIS and pack!!! My DH is even worse--he's like a little boy waiting for Santa! He tosses and turns so much the night before we leave and is wide awake, ready to go by 4 AM. I think I am going to sneak a sedative into his dinner the evening before, this time!!! Then maybe I can get some sleep and wake HIM up for a change!!! LOL!

 

[s&k'smom]

OMG I get so excited. We just got back two weeks ago and I had started organizing way before. I dis'd alot and read alot. It had started to get cool here in Mass so I had my DD summer clothes ouyt for two weeks on her bed for our trip! I made PS's and recalled our hotel to make sure of what we needed. My favorite part of going is landing at the airport and walking through to get our bags and knowing the whole week is ahead of us.

 

[JerseyJanice]

I get so nervous, I can barely sleep!

Hey, Barb, you just need to channel that energy into something positive--something that will make you feel good.

 

[bigsis1970]

I am so excited i think i might bust and still have 9 days -- its the whole single digit thing that gets me !!! i have been re-packing and re-reading and Dissing like mad. I have a Theme Park CD on the entire day at work, everynight i am at the kitchen table going over figures and paper and making sure i have it all right!!! I will not / do not sleep much at all the night before - altho it will be right after Turkey dinner so i might sleep some !! LOL..



Is how i feel right now !! wait till the actual day of !! LOL Michelle
