How do you get pumped up for a cruise?

I watch According to Jim episodes from season three episodes 18 and 19. I love it !! It gets me more excited for the trip.

Before Disney+ I would do a countdown of watching Disney movies before any Disney vacation. Sometimes the movies were chosen for a specific order, sometimes it was random (made a paper chain with a movie written on each piece).
Once Disney+ came out I stopped doing the movie countdown. Now, I guess its just planning that keeps me pumped up.
At the moment, im in a deep depression from the grief of losing my fur baby last month and honestly, planning a Disney Cruise is the only thing keeping me going.

What is this "need to get pumped up"?? If I'm going on a cruise, I'm excited about it. The day I'm not excited about going on a cruise is the day I need to stop cruising.

I watch a lot of recent YouTube videos about the cruise ship I am going on and the itinerary I am going on as well as watching Disney Movies

I start getting euphoric when we start packing for the trip all on my own. Before then it seems too abstract for me to get too emotionally involved about it.

DISboards, DCL playlist on Amazon, planning the FE gifts… these all get the magic brewing

About 10 years ago I used to make elaborate countdown calendars. Now, I find I am so busy, I don’t have time to make the calendars. I don’t have time to get pumped up. Time flies and all of a sudden the next vacation is here. There is just this mad rush to pack about 2 days before the cruise. I image eventually, I won’t be busy at all. I can’t wait to make countdowns again!!
