I've had a few rounds of the less-than-excited emotions leading up to a trip. I've found planning some downtime helps restore the magic a bit. When I am as tired as you sound (been there, done that this summer too!), knowing that I have an afternoon set aside just to lounge by the pool makes me take a deep breath, relax and smile. You could also think about planning a late start morning or two - don't set an alarm clock and sleep in, have a nice, slow, relaxing breakfast and only go to the parks when your body says it's ready - don't be so paranoid about making it for rope drop. Or plan a mid-trip break and go to a movie that you secretly want to see but normally wouldn't. Removing the pressure from myself of having to be immersed in Disney nonstop actually helps me look forward to the Disney moments more.
Disney doesn't have to be rush-rush-rush. You don't have to ride every ride, or be in the parks from open to close. Take clues from your body - if it is stressed and needs downtime, then give it some!!! Vacations are for doing just that!

We tend to be openers to closers (with a break in between) but a slow day and reading by the pool sounds sooo good right now.
