Do you ever get paranoid about an upcoming Disney trip?

[meloneyb21]

When there is some time before a trip comes up, I always get paranoid thinking of any and everything that would prevent it from happening. As of right now, I think the world will end before our 2008 trip...DH just thinks I'm loco and gives me the look.

You sound like me!! I am a worrywart so I know how you feel! I was worried that we would get sick before our last trip.....worried when going down steps that one of us would fall and break a limb...worried about the world ending! You name it I worry about it!!

You are SO not alone! We all had a violent stomach bug 5 days before Disney - so for every night before we left I couldn't even sleep - I was so paranoid that we'd get it again & couldn't get on the plane. I made sure we all ate a very dry & bland diet those days before just in case. I packed ziplock bags & extra clothing for the plane just in case. The morning we were leaving I checked the tires on the car, and started it up an hour before we left just in case there was something wrong with it, so I had time to call AAA. Bizarre I know - I just can't help but think the worst will happen! Disney OCD to the max!

I worry too. I told my cousin not to come over with her 2 small kids and that we would see them when we come back from WDW just in case her kids are sick. I am trying everything possible to make sure my DD stays healthy (which is a hard thing to do)
Last year we had to cancel our trip due to my DD emergency surgery so I just keep praying all stays good for us to go

I'm a big time worrier, too. Anything and everything that could go wrong, I worry about.

But, despite all my worries, our first trip to WDW went off without a hitch.

So now I'll get even more paranoid that I'll jinx it if I don't worry just as much this time!

Oh I'm convinced that all of this warm winter/no snow stuff is going to come to a grinding halt on Feb 5th as we're flying out. But, I don't arrive to WDW until the 7th so if we have to miss out on Sea World I'm okay with that. LOL

Sprinking some pixie dust so You and your family have a magical trip!


Now I hope I didn't get any in your eye!!!!!

Last trip, one week before we left I was admitted to the hospital with a pulmonary embolism...
Needless to say I do get paranoid before a trip!

We leave in 5 days and my wife keeps me and our two daughters in GERM X.

Are these strong, intrusive feelings you have? Do they get in the way of things?

I'm not being sarcastic, I'm being real ... has anyone ever talked to you about depression?

I would love to tell you to relax, but I am such a worrier myself that I tend to do the same thing. I have a post on here that is almost the same as yours LOL. I am going to Disney in Feb with DM and am pretty much a nervouse wreck about everything. Thanks to the people on disboards though, I am able to settle down somewhat.

Good luck and I hope everyone stays healthy and that you can enjoy your planning.

 

[bytheblood]

I don't worry. I cannot change things that may happen, so I just cannot stress myself out over things I have no control over. I get more wrapped up in the issues of planning than what could happen to stop the trip.

For me, the only thing I ever think is..."Gee, I hope I don't get pregnant!"

I have not even told my parents I am going yet, I am 19 days out...My fathers health is not good. My Mom told me yesterday that he cant even take the trash out anymore. He tells me he cant move around anymore without not being able to breathe..IF YOU SMOKE,QUIT it is not a pretty site -my father teathered to an oxygen line. My husband said to me yesterday what if he dies while we are gone...thats why I took out the trip insurance. And I worry about getting sick...I work in a clinic and germs germs germs!

OMG you sound like me. I just finished telling my dh yesterday that I was afraid we would forget the cruise stuff and our birth certificates and we don't leave until April. I have started planning how to make sure that doesn't happen. I started making my first list today during church

The last trip we took I was very worried. I had an aunt that was dying of cancer. I needed my parents to keep our two little ones. Fortunately we made other plans for the little ones. A few hours before we left for the trip my aunt passed away and my parents had to catch a plane to Texas. So you see worrying and preplanning doesn't hurt. It keeps you on your guard. You don't need a therapist. You need a pad a pencil to make a contingency plan.

You guys have given me a new worry: ILLNESS
Yep, my family will be in quarantine the week before the trip. My neighbor is always bringing her germ infested little kids over and sharing the love. Guess who won't be over for a playdate the week before we leave?

 

[learnhome]

Oh my gosh! I thought I was the only worry wart nut case!! But, looks like I have company I am leaving this Saturday (13th) for our first ever trip, and I am basically lysoling everything and everyone that even passes by us!! I also turned down helping my OWN sister out, b/c she had a cold, and I did not want to be around her germs!! I have germ-x'd and wiped down every shopping cart, counter top and any other thing I have to come in contact with!!! HAHAHAHA!
I even bought Air-born so we don't get a funky disease from the airplane! Talk about paranoid!!!
