Do You Sleep the night you go to Disney World

[mikesdisneymom]

Mine is Not at first but eventually I fall asleep

 

[OnourwaytoWDW]

I feel like I don't actually "sleep sleep", it's more of a rest. I'm constantly waking up in fear of NOT waking up and then missing the flight.
Plus my head is usually swimming with "last minute" stuff.
I love the waiting excitement feeling though!!

i usually take some benedryl so i can sleep. i try to tie up all loose ends before i go to bed, so all i have to do is wake up and grab stuff and go. but yeah, its hard to sleep.

That's me exactly. It doesn't help on the sleep factor that we usually take the 6:30-sh flight in the morning the day we leave. In order for us to get to the airport just an hour before our flight leaves, and get to the airport from the off site parking site, we have to get up at the very latest 2 - 2:30 am.

My trip is almost 2 months away and I can't sleep from now.

My trip is 5 months away and I still lay awake at night thinking about our Disney trip.

OH no I was going to try the getting up early a few days before routine this time around but I can see it didnt work so good for you. It might just make me extra extra tired

You know that Disney commercial where the kids get busted for still being awake and mom rolls over to dad and says "are you asleep" and he says he is too excited?

That's exactly how it is at our house the night before every Disney trip.

In October we are flying instead of driving (I HATE to fly) so I should be awake for approx 3 days before we go worrying about the flight....

 

[tinkerbell1967]

I always want to sleep but never do. We normally drive so we leave from PA at midnight and drive straight thru. So as soon as I get home from work around 3 I am up until midnigh and normally until we get to Disney!! I doze off in the car but not to good because I can hear every little sound.

 

[Disney.Dreamer]

I most often than not fall asleep the night before because i'm so excited and I want the time to pass fast.

We booked a direct flight from Seattle(which is hard to get) that leaves at 11PM. So I will be sleeping peacefully on the plane with the help of two Dramamine! Hopefully refreshed for a a full day at Epcot the next day!

My trip is almost 2 months away and I can't sleep from now.

That is exactly what my first thought was...I can hardly sleep now, I'm so excited...and I have 162 days to go. LOL!!!

 

[Kellylynn3]

my trip is booked for august 11th - 19th and our flight leaves at i believe nine in the morning which means an early wake up call. It will be me, boyfriend, and our 3 friends all going and were all planning on just staying at my boyfriends house the night before and I have a feeling none of us will be sleeping very well. We keep quoting the commercial "I'm too excited to sleep!!!"

We're on the red eye from SEA for our August trip!

I gave up trying to sleep the night before vacation and book the red eye if possible for trips back east. It's just the way we roll LOL!
