I'm thinking that it will be wonderful. Heaven to me would be beautiful, peaceful, and filled with friends, family and animals that have passed before me. Being in the presence of our Creator is something I look forward to.

Ask the experts. Take this question to a graveyard.

Being a non-believer, I think it will feel like nothing. Sort of like a nights sleep without any dreams.....forever.

Why are you asking us? How would we know?

Whenever I'm at a funeral, and the vicar/priest/minister says, "and now X goes to sit at God's right hand in heaven", I can't help but have the irreverent thought, 'Christ, it must be standing room only up there, when you consider the millions that have gone before and they're all at God's right hand.'

Exactly. We're still alive, so we don't know either. But since OP wants my useless opinion, I'll say I would feel nothing. Because all my neuronal and other brain functions have ceased, there is no possible way I could feel anything at all, as I would have no method of experiencing thoughts, feelings, or sensations. It would be a void.

The same way you felt before you were born.

Three things that I am reasonably sure of: Before I was born I remember nothing, I'm alive now, and I'll be dead again. The only parts that have sucked so far have been when I'm alive. Not all of it of course and I want to remain among the living for the time being.

Non-existence has to be the most peaceful state of being. I'll bet it's really quiet and you can get a lot of nothing done - two of my favorite things to do while alive.

Impossible to answer. Ask, how does it feel to be alive, many answers, many reference points. It may be as simple as ceasing to exist, to transitioning to another plane of existence.
