Starting to get nervous about trip

[zippehsmom]

I'm down to less than 3 days before we head off to the world and I'm starting to get nervous. I don't remember ever gettting nervous before, but this time I'm starting to feel really apprehensive about going.

I hope this is just pre-trip jitters or something. Maybe I feel this way because DH is not coming this time. Or maybe because I have 11 other family members coming (not all at the same time), and I'm the official trip planner. I just really hope that everything goes well.

Do others get nervous right before their trips?

Anyways, I hope this feeling goes away soon...

Thanks for listening

Nope, no nervousness here -- and I've gone solo a number of times.
You KNOW you'll have a great time...Enjoy it!!

Thanks Montanaminnies & DVCconcert , I know I will have a good time, but I just got really nervous all of a sudden.

I really need to go to bed, I have so much stuff to do.

Hi Zippehsmom! you are probably just nervous about all the plans and want everything to go just the way you planned it. Hey, you can only control what is within your power and whatever is not-let it go and just remember to have a wonderful time.

Have a Magical Vacation!!!

It seems reasonable to be feeling a bit worried about being there without the support of your DH and to have the responsibility of everyones trip on your shoulders. I have gone twice with the kids when DH couldn't get the time off work. I was very worried the first trip, thinking how would I handle different situations, but let me assure you it was fine. The kids were very helpful and understood that they had to stay with me and be patient. Be sure to let everyone know that once you are there they can do whatever they wish and that you are not "in charge". Then just relax and enjoy the time. Don't worry, I'm sure you have planned a wonderful trip! All will be great once you are there.

Youll have a wonderful time... This will be me and my kids first solo trip without DH and I have to do all the driving so for that reason I get nervous thinking about our trip and the last trip I took in March I got nervous because I had done all the planning and had to act as tour guide for a first time family that came with us... Dint worry your nervousness will turn into excitement once your on your way..

Thanks I feel a little better this morning. I know once I get on the plane I will start to feel better.

I've already told everyone that they don't have to hang with me, they can do their own thing. And on that same note, I told them I'm note waiting for anyone. I will let everyone know what time I plan to leave and go to the parks and such, if they are not ready, then they can hop on a bus and meet us later. That's why we all have cell phones.

Just good to know I'm not the only one who starts to get nervous right before a trip.

We're leaving in three weeks and I'm already starting to get nervous.(or anxious) I allways do. Untill I get on the plane and then I'm fine. It's just pre-trip jitters. Your not alone. I'm also the planner too.

Yep, I can relate to everything you're worrying about. We leave on Wednesday and I've been worried for most of the summer! I will be worried at the airport about security and arriving on time and taking off on time. I'll worry about the luggage getting lost. I'll worry that the car won't be available that I rented online for the first time ever. I'll worry they've given away our hotel room since I booked that online for the first time (and since we're arriving in the late evening...) I'll worry that my tickets won't work at MGM the next morning because I wasn't very bright and bought them off Ebay (never again!!) Then I'll worry that I haven't packed the right stuff for the days at the parks!! As you can probably tell, you don't worry about half as much as you thought you did after listening to me!!! So relax, have fun, enjoy, and remember you've got it good compared to me.

I'm getting nervous as well. Mine nervousnous is due to having my mom recently diagnosed with a serious, chronic illness. She's in a critical situation and your guess is as good as mine as to how long she'll be here. We will call home every day but I'm apprehensive about going. However, I do know WDW is what I need because once we get on site, it's purely magical.

But it sounds like you have it under control! I often get that way before a trip because I usually do most of the planning too. I want people to be happy, and somehow I feel a tiny bit responsible for their happy trip. I wish I could let go of that feeling! You totally have the right way to think, it is nearly impossible to plan things with everyone standing around saying "I don't know, what do you want to do?". Plan a few events, and have everyone show up that wants to. That way, lots of time isn't wasted as you decide what to do then wait for everyone who may or may not show up! What did we all do without cell phones?!! Gotta love technology!
