Oh yes, I couldn't agree more! The anticipation is a huge part of the fun.

Re: Poll: When do you get excited about your upcoming trip

I agree with Lenny...but if I had to pick one of the options it would be when the trip is planned!

Re: Poll: When do you get excited about your upcoming trip

I voted when I book but the truth of the matter is, we start thinking about and getting excited about next year's trip while we're still in WDW. DH and I think about where we want to stay next year. We talk about it all year and watch the Planning videos. We have a bunch of them.

As soon as the Trip is booked and deposit made I get into plan mode and start thinking of all the possible places to eat and things to see!

Re: Poll: When do you get excited about your upcoming trip

When I find unspent money in my checking account. (No one knows but me and I transfer it to my secret Disney savings account) The kids get a clue when Dad starts spouting DL or WDW facts and the Mickey antenna ball comes out of the glove box.

Re: Poll: When do you get excited about your upcoming trip

Right about at the 30 day point it really starts to sink in that the trip is getting really close and we're really going.

Re: Poll: When do you get excited about your upcoming trip

I'm gonna be the black sheep and say the excitement really begins when I hit the single digits.

Don't get me wrong - I get excited before I even book, but the REAL exceitement for me begins about a week before we leave. It's like I can't believe it is real, and NOTHING can get me down! I walk around with a stupid perma-grin on my face and burst out in child-like giggling spontaneously. And as soon as I go to get my money exchanged into US dollars - forget about it! Nothing un-Disney matters after this point!

Can we vote for "All of the Above?" Once I book the trip, the excitement never wanes, it just builds and builds and builds!
