Not Feeling the magic/excitement? Help?

[05focus]

Hey everyone! My last trip to WDW was in 2012 and at that time I was beyond excited for the trip, had everything planned out and was ready to go! This go around isn't quite the same. My mom and I planned the trip about two months in advance and at first I was super excited! I'm driving to Florida tomorrow to her house and then we head to WDW Monday morning. I'm really looking forward to having a trip just me and her but for some reason as time grows near I feel more stressed than anything. I haven't been over planning, heck I have even lost the motivation to finish the itinerary which is my favorite thing to do! I feel like it may be stress about not having enough money, having to get the house clean and make sure everything is set before I go, I just don't know. I recently got a new job as well that is very physically draining. Not sure if I'm going through a spell of depression or what. I'm hoping that once I start the drive tomorrow that my mood will pick up, because I truly love going to WDW it's definitely my favorite place in the world So my question is do you guys have any advice on how to pick my mood up? Or has anyone else experienced this feeling before? I really want to enjoy this trip and I'm hoping I've just been in a funk lately that will shake off once I arrive at WDW.

I love setting my pandora to Disney Children's Radio, or playing some sound loops from the electrical parade.

Look at pictures of Disney, and just think of all the fun you will have!

Just starting daydreaming about it or thinking of past memories and how much fun you have had there. Hope you get excited about it! I haven't been to Disneyworld since I was a child and we are finally going in November with our kids.. I'm already excited and we still have 3 months to go Have a great time!

Thank you! I'm starting to get more excited as time gets closer. I just arrived at my moms in Florida and she's only an hour and a half away from WDW. We plan on having a disney movie night and doing disney manicures before we head there tomorrow morning to get us in the disney spirit! I think the stresses of everyday life just affected the excitement. Now I need to finish the last two days of my itinerary! I'm kicking myself for slacking on making the last few ADRs but I'm sure I'll enjoy myself nonetheless
