Is This Normal?? (Less excited as trip gets close)

[Leshaface]

I want to start relaxing even before I'm finished unpacking, but how can I get any Disney juice running through me while I'm still hard at work in the hotel room? Answer: put some Mickey Mouse stickers on a bottle of rum, which can work as a crude but effective stand-in for actual Disney juice. Swill it straight from the bottle and you're on Pirates of the Caribbean before you've even hit the turnstiles.

Just remember to put it on the TOP of your suitcase so you can get at it before you have to start unpacking!

Love the way you think!

Hey guys. I have been very, very excited for the last 2-3 months for my trip. Now, as my trip is mere 3 days away, I feel more complacent about it. Maybe the reality has sunk in that I'm going? I know I will have an excellent time there, but am I crazy? Or has this happened to any of you?

My last Dec trip was like that. I was well into the second day before I relaxed and had fun.(first day was a half day and DS was sick) I think being the one in charge of EVERYTHING kinda makes it harder to relax and enjoy. Plus I wasn't sure if my husband really wanted to be there so if he looked bored or irritated I took it more personally. It wasn't hot or crowded. ON the last day we walked through DTD and the esplade was PACKED and he said "wow you really do know how to plan DL to avoid the crowds good job" and then I felt much better. All the planning and organizing and laundry and packing and tying up loose ends has the tendency to drain the fun out of anything.

you'll be fine

This happens to me, because Im usually the one planning the trips for the family. I get super excited while Im planning it, but once everything is set up and ready and I have nothing to plan I dont feel as excited, until Im packing or standing at the front gate.
