I do, I'm having them right now. I think its because I have nothing left to do as everything is all packed and planned - even my fridge is clean! I am not afraid to fly, but I always get nervous....until I sit in my seat. Until then there is nothing to do but wtch the countdown counter and go to the gym to work off the jitters!
 
I do not get jitters - but I do get goosebumps and go into the "zen" zone

Cheers and have a great trip

You know on trips that I have planned and waited for months to go I too get jitters right before the trip. But this past Feb. we decided on a last minute weeks vacation in the World. I had only two weeks to plan everthing - No jitters! And we had the best time to boot!!! :)
 
I was up most of the night going over what I have packed and taking a "mental inventory" while I was in bed! Trying to decide if we are going to spend the night at the airport the night before we leave, or drive down Sunday morning? Thinking about all of the things I have left to do - clean house, do laundry, call to confirm town car and airline ressies, and...paint my nails :p Can't wait for the waiting to be over!! Sunday morning we will be on our way!! Enjoy your trip!!:cool:
 

Not that I want everyone to have jitters ;) but I'm happy to see that I am not alone. I am soooo nervous and I have no idea why. We are driving, maybe thats why.:eek:
 
Not jitters, exactly, but I am excited! I suppose I'm a bit nervous, because until we're down there I'll worry about missing flights. I won't really believe I'm going to make it until I get on property!
I am glad I am leaving packing until tomorrow, though. If everything was all set already, tomorrow would be the longest day in history (not like it won't be anyway, but at least I can keep busy)!
Have fun, everyone!!:bounce: :Pinkbounc
 
We drive too and we are not far from Hershey. (Norristown to be exact - outside of Philly)

We divide the drive into two days and find it to be one of the parts of the trip i enjoy the most. I actually get to speak to my husband about things other than the "daily business" of running our lives. (of course no one likes the trip home, because that means we have to leave WDW. We have a van with an entertainment system though, so DS can watch movies and play Play Station - we never hear a peep out of him until he has to pee!!!)

i get the jitters bad, i wonder what if the weather is not nice or what if i get sick, and i get nervous on the plane, but when we are about to land and the pilot tells us the weather conditions, and they are usually better then here in ct, then i feel better, as long as everything is fine, i just want everything to be perfect, i love disney world!

Ready BEFORE time to leave! What a novel concept!
 
OK, I had a dream last night that it was the morning of our trip. I go to the basement to feed the cat & there is water all over our basement & we miss our flight because we are cleaning up. I then call the airline & we can't get on another flight because we are broke & don't have any money. AUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
 
I always dream about the trip being a fiasco the night before we leave. Last trip, I left my wallet on the bus to the airport (got it back, just by dumb luck). We left our DD's suitcase at Orlando AIrport (cost $75.00 RT cab ride to get it) and my husband left his wallet in Epcot (he used it to prop up the video camera to record Illuminations.....got that back too.).

I hope we don't lose anything this time!
 
I lead a pretty unstressful life. Before my trip this Easter, I couldn't eat a thing for about a week. My stomache was like a tight knot.

I don't think I had this feeling since I was 6 years old and waiting for christmas Morning.:p
 
I do once in a while, if we are flying especially! I always stress about the weather too for some odd reason? I don't think I have ever packed either on time! I always pack the day we leave or the night before!! :p
