Everyday until about an hour ago have I been so psyched about our Disney Trip.

Now here I am 4 hours away from take off, and I'm almost in tears.

My fear of flying is coming back and making me sick to my stomach! I can handle the flight when we are in the air, but as far as taking off and landing is concerned, I'd honestly rather not go.

I've been dying to go to Disney, but now I'm starting to freak out. I've only flown one other time in my life and that was just last October to NYC. My ears hurt so bad during the flight, I started crying. Not only that, I had a horrible earache for the Next Week after we got back!

I already bought EarPlanes for my ears, but I need something else to get me through this flight. My boyfriend has never flown before either, so I can't rely on him to confort me.

What Do I DO?? I don't want to back down, but just the thought of flying makes me so sick to my stomach.
 
I Hate flying too! And it's too late to call your doctor for something.

Take some dramamine after you check in and while you're waiting to board. You will sleep like a baby... or at least be so drowsy you won't worry.

Good LUck

You could always take Benadryl antihistimine - that will mellow you out and make you pretty sleepy. Your fear of flying is probably coming out as stress as you are getting ready to depart.

COme on baby, you can do it. All the prayers and pixie dust of the whole DIS board is with you.

Just keep thinking: What Would Mickey Do?

Acknowledge the fear, feel your courage and determination, say a prayer to the almighty to help you - and soon you'll be landing at MCO.

Good luck and have a great time.
 
maybe if you tell us what scares you so much we can help relax you. have you ever taken anything to relax you during take off and landing? just keep thinking main st the castle peter pan and your high school on the buzz ride...ahhh splash mountain weeee! think about that wonderful resort you are about to check into...keep thinking disney and that should help you!
 

And try to remember that your flight to Orlando will be many times more safe than your car ride to the airport.
 
Nice visuals for CBR to imagine Beverly Lynn!!

Not that it's always the best choice to slove your problems, but do you drink? Maybe a glass of wine or drink before you get on the plane may help(that's what my Mom does). Otherwise I know Benadryl does help take the edge off too, it's what my BIL takes before he flies.

YOU CAN DO IT!!! And before you know it you'll be strolling down Mainstreet! Take care.
