When does it hit you that you are really going?

Since we always drive, for me it's when the sun is rising, and I have to move the visor from it's usual straight ahead position, and pull it down and to the left. That means the car is headed South, and we are on the way.

It's really weird b/c it never really hits me.
I get excited during the time leading up to my trip. But forget it, once I get there I feel like I'm in a wonderful dream, like it's not really happening.
And then once I get back it feels like it never went anywhere at all! It's so depressing.
That's why I have to keep going back, b/c it goes by too quickly and I'm waiting for that one trip to come where I realize that it's real, I am really there, and it doesn't ever feel like it never happened.
But who knows, maybe that's part of the mystery of WDW, how it makes me feel that way, when no where else I've ever been has done that to me.

for me it is when i am in the airport waiting to board the plane,
for my mom it is when we actually arrive
for my dtr and neice both 10, it's hitting them now and they are driving me crazy

finally my 3 year old neice is being hit but she does not know it, she keeps saying she can't wait till her DORA cruise, i just tell her ok.

It hits me when we make our ressies & put down the deposit... I'm actually going once I do that! Then, when I make the ADRs, I get a relief feeling.

But to actually know that I'm home again & feel the magic... It's when I see the 'Welcome to Disney World' sign. I love it & I almost cry every time. It truly is my happy place!

It actually snuck up on us this time...I can't believe it's next week! Guess I better bring out the suitcases.
