I can't sleep...

[JKanownik]

We are leaving for the airport in less than 24 hours and I am so excited that I can't even sleep! I have that "Am I missing or forgetting something? syndrome". DH and I finished packing last night with the help of a great packing list that I found on the Disney Tips board courtesy of Big V. We have all our our PS made, our hotel and travel confirmation info is in the carry on, arrangements have been made to care for our 3 cats. DH has one more day of work and I have some housework that needs done today, but other than that we are ready to go. I am stressing big time and I don't know why! Does anyone ever feel this way before a trip to WDW or have any suggestions that could help me relax?

You're finally going! I'm happy for you. Have a good time!

Sorry to hear that you're still up. I live in Japan, where it's 13 hours ahead of New York time (16 hours ahead of LA time), so it's middle of the evening here.

You're gonna regret not sleeping on that first morning in WDW, you know. When Mickey calls you, telling you of big doings going on, and all you're gonna want to do is sleep in!

Hope you're in bed by now and don't reply back...

CALIFLADY:

Good evening to you! Thanks for the encouragement! Unfortunately, I think I am up for the day. I'm hoping that I can squeeze in a nap later. If not, it should be easier for me to fall asleep tonight. I would like to be in bed early since we have to be at the airport (which is about an hour away) at 6 AM tomorrow.

Hope you guys have a GREAT time! I know that this trip won't hold a candle to your honeymoon (if I'm not mistaken, y'all honeymooned in WDW, right?) but I hope you make as many special memories on this trip, too!

Look for the little things. Enjoy each other's company and soak in the beauty and magic of Walt's world!

Now, go wake up your hubby. It's time to get going!

 

[JKanownik]

AWWW! Thank you so much for the well wishes and advice! All too often, we run from attraction to attraction and never stop to really enjoy the surroundings. I think we will have to slow down a bit this time and let it all soak in! We did honeymoon in WDW and are both very excited to be going back! I'm sure we are going to have a wonderful time. DH has worked extremely hard this year at work and school, so this trip is especially well deserved for him!

Thanks again,
Colleen

Shucks, you two make such a cute couple! Hope you enjoy Wishes and Philharmagic and all the new wonderful attractions that have opened since you were there.

Yas, take your time (at least for a little while every day) and enjoy watching the little kiddos. That's what I like doing there. To see the excitement in their eyes at FOTLK or Beauty and the Beast! It's amazing!

Hope you two get to relax and unwind from your busy year. Come back rested. You know, I find the best litmus test for determining if I've had a good trip is when I get back and can't remember my computer passwords! So here's to your failed memories in front of your keyboards on your return!

And Happy Anniversary. My parents will celebrate 46 years next month. Amazing! Hope you find as many happy years together!

of course your forgetting something and you wont remember until yuo get there

I never worry about forgetting anything because it can all be bought there. The only thing I couldn't replace is my husband so I just make sure he is with me.
Have a great trip.

Don't worry about sleep now, sleep when you get back.

I get that way because generally my DH will find 12 more things he needs to pack at the last possible minute when I have been slowly packing the 2 or 3 days prior to that, asking him what he wants, needs etc. and he says "Whatever you bring is fine" and then he hands me a pile of stuff as I am closing the suitcase for the last time. I will tell him I have blue shorts packed, and he will say "but these are the more comfortable ones" or something like that which, if he had answered my questions earlier in the week for 5 minutes about what he wanted me to bring, the comfortable blue shorts would have been IN the suitcase!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He also decides to do some project the day we are leaving(this time it was preparing a bare spot in the back yard and palnting grass seed) which usually requires my help.

I think it's a control thing. He's lucky I love him!!!!!

something" feeling and it's still 4 months before our trip. Actually, it's exactly 4 months today~! Woo Hoo! If you forgot something, don't worry, I'll be happy to come meet you guys there to bring it to you. Your picture is adorable! Have an amazing trip, and don't look back until the day you step off the plane back home. Happy Anniversary trip (WDW Anniversary, that is!) I am the one that usually doesn't get more than 3-4 hours of sleep the night before our WDW trips, BTW. I think it is inbred in us, while our DH's don't worry about much. I pack & repack, check & rechk, confirm, bubble over with excitement, get over anxious, then fall asleep from exhaustion. I can tell you that DH is a last minute person, packing and otherwise, so I usually pack everyone else's luggage, and make all the ressies myself. With his stuff, he is usually on his own. I just remind him to take the matching tshirts, and I usually end up dragging the luggage downstairs the night before myself. I was shocked to hear him mention a few weeks ago that since we are leaving for WDW on his first actual vacation day, very early in the AM, he would have to pack earlier than the day before . I need months to pack! Have fun on your trip!!!!

We're nervous here as well since we have to pack for a 4yo and 19 mo. old!! But the excitement is definitely taking over!! Have a blast!

 

[JKanownik]

Thanks for the support everyone! I really appreciate it! You are all the best! I don't know what I would do without these boards!
