LEAVING IN 4 DAYS...NEED SOME PIXIE DUST MAJIC

[linnettevl]

My trip is almost here....

I am supposed to be exited, happy, overjoyed but instead I have this "down" feeling that I cannot shake myself out of.

I still did not pack our luggage, I usually buy new clothes for my boys for the trips, they have nothing new to wear, no goodie bags, no disney games,no books to read.NOTHING....

I do not know the reason why but I do not have any pixie dust magic...

Are you going bonkers?????????????? GET WITH THE PROGRAM! You are leaving for Disney in four days! Do you realize that I want to be YOU right now? I think I speak for the rest of us when I say "get to packing sister!"

***Dusting pixie dust all over you, hoping that you'll smile***

how long have you been in this funk? Maybe you overplanned and wore yourself out. You will feel better once you are there. So have you done anything since??

I just came back from shopping at target, I bought clothes for the kids, some games, books and all the things I needed for the trip,Hopefully tonight I will start packing...

I know... I know that I should count my blessing, and that I should be happy that we are going on vacation. My mistake was trying to do too much.We are going to Orlando for 2 weeks: We have Tickets for :Universal Studios,IOA,Wet and Wild, Water Mania, Sea World,Gatorland,Magic Kingdom,Epcot,Animal Kingdom,MGM,Cirque du Solei,Disney Quest,Dixie Stampede,Arabian Nights, I wonder if we are going to have time to do all this, I am also worry that It will be too much for the kids,and I feel that I did not plan things right, I got all this worries in my head (preventing me from enjoying this trip) I am also worry for my boys (asthmatic) If they get sick with the heat ...
I know that It's all in my head...

Well, here's my $.02-take it for what it's worth:

Do you think you would feel differently if you had a little less "scheduled time?" I believe your gut is trying to tell you something. You have overscheduled your trip. Remember that the goal is to have a fun time with your family. Everthing else comes second.

How old are your kids? Are they old enough to handle a pace that is much faster than their day-to-day lives? Remember, Florida will still be there next time you go.

I'm sending good thoughts your way.

You should have time to do it all but do relax and have fun. No need to worry yourself to death. Just have fun.

Lots of Pixie Dust for you Linnette!!!
Have fun, relax and don't worry about missing/skipping anything on your list. There is always next time. It gives me an excuse to go every year. I've been 6 times and there are still tons of stuff we want to do and see. There is also "NEW" stuff all the time as well at IOA/US and WDW. Always keeps us going back.
Have a great vacation!!!
No worries!
