Gareth Southgate has built such a good team spirit within his squad that Young believes the tournament feels more like a sunshine break than a mission to end 52 years of hurt and bring football home.
And while Germany, Brazil, Argentina, Spain suffered an early check-out, England are only too happy to have extended their stay in Russia.
“It’s felt like a good holiday we’ve been on,” said Young, who celebrated his 33rd birthday on Monday. “And if we get to the final, of course, it will be the best ever.”
England take on Croatia in Moscow on Wednesday for a place in the final where either Belgium or France lie in wait.
But none of those sides hold any fear for England insists Young.
“I think we’ve got a great chance,” he said. “We are in a great position to go on and win it.
“It’s been a fantastic journey we’ve been on but we haven’t come this far not to go on and win it, get over that line.
“It is one of those things as a kid you always dream of playing in a World Cup and you dream of winning the World Cup.”
Jordan Henderson’s tight hamstring has improved and he has declared himself fit for the semi-final.
That means Southgate will stick with the side which cruised past Sweden in Samara on Saturday to reach the last four for the first time in 28 years.
Young added: “We’ve got still so much football to play and still so much to play for as well.
“And I’m delighted to be a part of it, a part of this squad.
“It’s a great squad to be in and I can’t emphasise enough how excited I am about the next two games coming up.”
For the first time, the Three Lions will have a big following cheering them on Wednesday night.
The FA predict that up to 10,000 are flying into Moscow, many of them without tickets.
Tickets are changing hands on StubHub for more than £1,000 and most are expected to be snapped up by England fans.
FA officials have been told that most Russians will be supporting England because Croatia knocked out the host nation.
