The Going Home Face

I definitely get choked up on my last day.

Heck, I haven't even started my vacation yet (less than 2 months left now though!) and I'm getting upset thinking about coming back home. What can I say? I'm a dork lol.

Yup, I definitely get that 'going home face.' Like so many others, we always go to the Magic Kingdom on our last day and that final walk down Main Street gets me every time. The video on the Magical Express bus back to the airport gets me too. "We hope you had a wonderful stay," and all that stuff.

Oh! I had that face for about 6 months after our trip. I just couldn't help fighting the tears... I took so long planning that trip that I couldn't believe it was over.

So, yes, I know the face......

I hope I have it again though........

I definitely agree with the planning adding to the face. It is just you put so much work into your trip and when it is over, you can't believe it. The worst is when you come home and see the stack of papers from all your hard work.

At least you just see one big stack of papers, so you just get sad once. I am the world's most disorganized person and have left pieces of my upcoming vacation all over the house. For example, I've got a hotel confirmation in my printer, my MVMCP tickets right next to the computer, my *bright green* AP exchange certificates on the coffee table, etc. First of all, it's going to be a miracle if all of these things actually make it down to WDW with me, and second of all, when I get back, I'm going to find these little pieces of Disney everywhere, and then I'll want to cry

.

However, I think leaving is a little easier for me because we drive, so on the last day, we can hang around and do last minute rides and shopping until we decide to start heading back to boring old Atlanta. I think a flight would kill me because I would have to leave at a set time.

I have that face too. We try not to mention having to go back home on the last day so we don't ruin our last bit of magic with reminders that it's over.

Flying is the worst. I turn on my Macbook everyday and on my desktop I see our Continental Boarding passes. I saved them as a pdf when I checked us in on our flight the day before. I can't bring myself to delete it. It brings a tear to my eye to think back to all that excitement.
