Leaving in 24 hours and starting to panic

[hallie615]

Leaving in 24 hours and starting to panic. My boss just gave me a zanax (spelling??)-(I work for a doctor) I really hate to fly , but my DH refuses to drive when we can be there in about 2 hours. I need to finish packing some things tonight and then try and get some sleep. Trying to keep myself very busy today, always worried i didn't pack enough, Worried I didn't pack the right things and soo on.

Keep me in your thoughts and prayers and wish me luck. I'll talk to everyone when i get back. (I'll probably be on the boards tonight to keep my mind busy)

I just keep telling myself i'll be at DISNEY in 24 hours-

HI,

Hang in there! I'm leaving in 48 hours and I hate to fly too. Same thing about my husband, why drive when you can be there in 2 1/2 hours. (from NE) I will also be taking some Xanax too. Hope you have a great trip ! You will have lots of fun and enjoy your trip! Here is some pixie dust

Have a great trip. Though I am not wild about flying myself, I am a firm believer of not spending hours on the road. Just think, you will get to see Mickey soooo much faster! Whohoo!

And don't fret about not packing right. I do the same thing. But what helps me is knowing whatever I didn't bring, I can get there! Heck, forget to pack a bunch of clothes and that will give you an excuse to buy a lot of new WDW goodies! Tee hee hee.

You all have a magical time!

I drove last time we went to Disney, and I was panicy the day before too.

Maybe it was the wedding, I don't know.

Just enjoy the trip, say hi to Mickey for us poor slobs stuck at home.

I'm having a bit of any anxiety attack today myself! I always do before a trip. I'm usually fine once I'm in the air for some reason.

I take Xanax to fly. I have anxiety attacks starting 2-3 days before I fly.
All my friends laugh at me!

R..E..L..A..X - take a deep breath........ now, exhale.

Okay - let's tackle your list:

Packing: Only pack what you need (easy to say - hard to achieve).
Only take a few pairs of shorts and tees per person. If you will be in BWV you will be close to washer/dryers. Use the clothes and then when you check in, wash them at the machines there or in your room. One or two bathing suits per person is more than enough.

Shoes - take two pairs per person. This will give your feet alternatives and will/may not blister or chafe.

Toiletries - Only take 1 of each (and the smallest you can find): Shampoo, conditioner, hairspray, etc.. Even the smallest bottles give at least 8-10 shampoos.

Plane Ride - don't worry. Worrying will not make the pilot anymore capable of driving the plane - right? Sit back and take a snooze. Let DH handle the kids, since it's only a 2 hour flight. Wake when you have landed and get on with your fantastic vacation.

I'm leaving in the morning too (in fact, I'll probably be on the ME by this time tomorrow!) and though I don't mind flying, I'm always so anxious the day before I leave to go to Disney...I don't sleep at ALL! Not good when you're going with a four-year-old and six other members of your extended family! Got out and eat and maybe do some window shopping after work. You'll be surprised how the time flies. Have fun!

 

[Hobbes]

You have my sympathies-and no amount of people telling you to relax and stop worrying will help. I know cos I'm the same, and I have a 9 hour flight from the UK. All I can do is say take the Zanax and a tape of soothing music (I don't recommend Learn To Fly by the Foo Fighters LOL)

And if all else fails go lock yourself in the airplane toilet and do a few silent screams. Remember Mickey knows you are coming and he won't let anything happen! And if an elephant can fly then I'm sure a plane can.....

Have a wonderful holiday

i soooo belong in this thread. i have to take a xanex to get to sleep at night cause i can't calm down enough to fall asleep. I am flying, but it will be my first time flying. I'm just trying to get my mind off of it, which is IMPOSSIBLE!!! I don't think i am worried about flying, but i am excited about my 3 yr old boy going to WDW!!!

Let's all count to 10 together:

Don't stress yourself out. Just relax & have a great time at Disney.

I also leave tomorrow and I am starting to get nervous. So much planning and the day is finally here! I have flown a lot in my life but I would be lying if I didn't say it makes me nervous everytime. But just remeber what is at the end of that flight. And thankful mine is only about 2.5 hours so we will all get there quickly. Have a great trip!

Relax... Who am I kinding I leave in 2 days and I haven't slept in 4 nights. I am soooooo very scared to go to the airport. I have a little bit of a different problem. I am actually affraid of the PLANE. I know I know how werid right! I don't know where the fear came from but large objects freak me right out. I have to take a Zanax before I arrive to the airport so that I can get into the airport. Once I'm on the plane I'm okay because I can't see it but you'd better make sure no one is in front of me when I'm trying to get on or off. ( you might get knocked out of the way LOL!) The only thing that keeps me going is the fact that I'm going to WDW and my little girl. I mean I can't show her that I'm affraid! (As I quietly exit to the nearest bathroom to change my pants because I just peed myself!!!LOL!!!)

 

[hallie615]

Thanks for all the words of wisdom and advice. I figure I only have to get through about 12 more hours, and at that point I'll be too tired to freak. My boss told me to take the zanax right when they start boarding the plane. (Don't know if I can last that long) Ha Ha

I keep telling myself I'm going to see Mickey, I'm going to see Mickey

 

[hallie615]

Still freaking out, trying to breath 6 hour till we head for the airport. I'll let you all know how it went when I get back. Have fun everybody!!

 

[maliboomer]

Look out of the window at the horizon and focus on it, it helps!

 

[beebles]

I will take xanax and immodium before I travel and should be smooth flying! It is the first time my children will fly and Ihavent flown in 5 years. But, keep telling yourself it is a quick flight! You will get there ok and have a great time!
