You know the feeling I'm talking about?....

[Goofy Rulz]

.....that feeling you get the day before you leave on vacation? Sitting at work finishing things up before you head out for "The Happiest Place on Earth" (or anywhere for that matter), looking at your boss who is demanding all this stuff to get done before you leave thinking "I'm sooo not going to miss you". Then you get home to do a final "walk-thru" of everything you packed (and re-packed); the kids are bouncing off the walls all excited; the DH checks the camcorder and camera 52 times then decides we need more tapes and batteries. And forget about sleeping; oh sure, you go to bed early thinking you have a long day ahead, but a million things are racing through your mind ("did I pack this?" "are we taking enough money?" "I have to make sure I unplug this and unhook that"). And that strange yet exciting feeling you get in your stomach, it's hard to explain, where you can sense fun and relaxation are just around the corner if you could just get through the next few hours. A co-worker of mine is leaving for a cruise tomorrow and I'm so jealous. But her time will come to be jealous of me when I head to WDW in June. Unfortunately I have another 122 days before I can experience that "feeling" of no worries and nothing but sun and fun for a week. Perhaps looking out the window and seeing the snow coming down is making me wish for warmer and happier times.

 

[DeterminedOne]

Yes, and I can't wait to get that feeling again!

 

[SqueakyMouse]

The day before??? I have it now...with 4 1/2 weeks to go!! How will I ever make it?

 

[misskrystal]

I LOVE that feeling!

I kind of feel as though I have blinkers on; I can't think of anything else. It's like Disney tunnel vision.

Oh, yeah! Get the car packed. Did we stop the mail and paper? Have to get some sleep for the long drive (but can't - too excited). Kids are anxious to go, but also dreading 20 hours riding in a car. Have we got the tickets/money/reservation info?

The week before a trip? Try to get serious work done? Too hard!

I totally relate!


Tim, who is going nuts waiting the remaining 115 days until we leave for Orlando! AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

I know exactly what you mean!!!! I probably won't seen the night before we leave. I'm like the kids!!!

I love the current commercial with the kids who "can't sleep...I'm too excited." Then there's the Dad, "Can't sleep...I'm too excited!" That's me!

Well if you figure it out let me know because I have 122 days to go. One thing I am enjoying is people getting jealous when I tell them where we're going. I would always get jealous when people told me they were going to WDW; it's nice to be on the other end of that emotion. So I'll have to ride that out until that "day before feeling" sets in.

 

[Tiffanie]

Yes, we are there now! Panicking that I have forgotten to pack or do something. Excited, who can work now? We leave in two days!

I envy you. You have two days, I have one-hundred two days. Perhaps we could trade?

Have a great trip!

 

[lovespoohbear]

i have 300 days

 

[disgram]

All of you have a great trip as we won't be there for 182 days!!!!! I have that feeling each time I log on here or any of the other disney sites!!!! Only 2 more days and I can make the ADRS! I probubly won't sleep the night before that morning!!!!
We have to go to another city the day before the flight as our small airport cannot handle the big planes so will miss sleep 2 nights instead of just the one!!

Oh Geez!! Have a good time! You must be going crazy just counting down the hours! I'm very jealous of you. Make sure you have someone getting your mail; remember to turn off the iron; don't forget your park passes! and most importantly - remember to call family members tomorrow to rub it in that you are going to WDW and they're not!

Awesome idea! That is so funny!
I know they would appreciate me doing that to them!

 

[maisymom]

i have that feeling right now we leave Thursday. I need to start packing.....for the five of us ughhhh.

 

[swkmom]

I love that feeling except then I get of feeling of dread and start thinking about having to come home in a week and worry that the trip won't feel like it lasted long enough!
