How Would you say excited?
I wasn't sure if emocionando is correct because it sounds like a cognate of emotional. Just wanted to verify. Thanks.

In this regard, "emocionado" is something of a false cognate. It does mean "excited", but can also take on the more English connotation of "deeply moved" or "stirred". Remember that this is the past participle of "emocionar", meaning "to excite".

I guess, emocionado is an adequate choice.

estar entusiasmado (por) should fit too.
or u can use verb "entusiasmar" , for example;
Me entusiasma mucho el paseo a la playa; i am very excited about the trip to the beach.

I agree with the others that "emocionado(a)" is usually the appropriate choice.
Be aware of "excitado(a)" because it means sexually excited.
