I don't agree with you...
Why?
1. Heaven will be bigger than you imagined
2. When you go up there, i dont think you would want royal treatment
3. I don't agree with you
4. So what? You still can be with the Lord eternally
5. I assure you that everyone would be happy there including you

God keeps His promises. I am sure that heaven is even better than I imagine. I do everything here in the earth for my God...wash dishes, do not expect royal treatment, worshiping...If I did not like to worship with Him, I would not long to be with Him...I think the heaven is like a big church and God is with us...I can feel God everywhere even here...I just want to be with Him, whatever it is...He knows what is the best for me.

Your question is more important than you may realize.
People who are battered about on this earth by their passions (lust, evil desires) yet still look forward to the next life have deceived themselves into thinking they will enjoy the presence of an All-Holy God who sent His Son to free us from these very passions.
I think the best way to imagine heaven is to imagine, or better yet, realize that we are currently in the very presence of God right now. That we are sinning in His very throne room. That God does not exist in one place more than another. That God is a flaming fire. That any hope we have of "enjoying" God's presence comes in falling to our knees and pleading for the very forgiveness Jesus Christ provides...then rising up to win the battle against sin the next day.
I don't mean to be prideful when I say this...but I hope you will take advantage of your local Orthodox church's spiritual father, who waits for you to begin this journey to holiness and peace with him. I can confidently say that he waits for you there.
God bless!!
This is an Orthodox Christian response.

I would be disappointed but in a way none of us no what to expect when we get there so I don't picture much so that I can be surprized. Plus I believe what God promises to us is special and only those who go to heaven will ever know how it feels to be there.

I'd get over the disapointment and be glad that God let me go to heaven. Then I'd get to cooking, (I love to cook) Besides, God has yet to let me down so I don't think heaven will be a disapointment it'll be a pleasant surprise.

Did you know that God gave Adam work to do before eating the forbidden fruit. Heaven will be a joy, beyond all expectations. And http://www.emjc3.com/helland.htm

It's too late once you figure it out. They lock the pearly gates and no-one can get out. You have to stare in envy at the people in hell who still have free will and are partying it up.

Have you been or something? Are you trying to tell us something? Are you trying to get us to lower our expectations? I want my pearly gates and streets of gold! Oh yeah, and my mansion on the hilltop!

That's not possible, it was created as a perfect paradise for us that is why we praise Jesus for leaving Heaven to come die for us.
