Disney Withdrawal..Who else experiences this?

Yes definitely!! Just got back yesterday and thinking about the next vacation! Part of the reason I joined today and posting is to lessen the withdrawal a bit. Not sure if it is helping or making it worse, especially now that I have to "adult" and unpack and do laundry:( Thinking today would be a good one to watch Moana for the first time with the kiddos.
 
I know this thread is a year old but i had to comment. The 2 times we have been to WDW my daughter and I experience Disney withdrawal very BADLY!! We have found the only way to help this is to: 1) visit our local Disney store at least twice within the week of coming back 2)Print pictures, talk about our favorite moments and 3) Begin to dream of our next trip !! It's hard leaving the Happiest Place on Earth but there are ways to get through the withdrawal !!!
 


My Disney withdrawal was so bad I was already planning my next trip 3 days before I finished the last one! (Admittedly, that was because my significant other has never been, and I kept thinking about how to make the best experience for them)
 
Looking forward for our trip here in August! Haven't been back since November! So ready to come back to WDW!
 
My kids always cry when we leave the gates, but I always remind them how lucky they are to have something so wonderful to cry about.
 


Plan a new trip of course! Also listen to a million podcasts, stalk Instagram, watch movies, plan Disney Bounds, but nothing is ever fully satisfying.
 
I got home from my DLP honeymoon in October, started planning my solo conference trip for June, and now I'm planning a big family trip for November. Just keep swimming?
 
I cry too! But then I spend time talking about the trip, roaming the DIS, scoping out Pinterest, and helping others plan their trip until I start planning mine.
 
My family tells me I talk too much about Disney! I talk about everything from The Dis, to cruises, to renting DVC, to making Disney themed food, and every thing Disney in between... Yes, I have bad withdrawals!

My boyfriend and I went last year (2016) in June for our 4 Year Anniversary. His 1st time, and my second!

And now I am DREAMING to plan another trip to either WDW or Disneyland. I love that at Disney I can truly be myself. The kid in just comes out. Everybody who works there is kind (for the most part) and I just feel all the pixie dust and magic in every inch of my body! I truly dream about being in a park everyday... but The reality of life is that eventually we want to get married & buy a house & have kids... It is exciting to think of our future and "plan" for what life has in store for us and I know Disney will always be there when we are ready to go back again and that is what keeps me going. And also knowing that Disney is forever changing! The next time we go to Disney maybe 5, 10, 20, 30, 40+ years down the road but at least Disney will always be there for us! And I think that is pretty darn magical in itself.
 
Went in 2015...next big trip in 2021 (between all the upheaval in the parks and saving for a bigger, longer vacation for 5, that's just the way its gotta be) But I stay abreast of all the Disney news here and have a spreadsheet wish list already started. Listen to Sorcerer Disney a lot..Play Magic Kingdoms on my phone to get my fix...also planning a "Disney Lite" vacation this year by combining our two days at Universal (daughter is Potterhead) with trips around the Disney resorts...Shopping Day at Disney Springs, horseback riding and fine anniversary dining at Ft Wilderness/Wilderness Lodge, Dining with an Animal Specialist at The Animal Kingdom Lodge, Typhoon Lagoon & a grand finale at Chef Mickeys. Nice to give the resorts some love too...It will be a blast!

May I present to you.....Ways To Avoid WDWW....or Walt Disney World Withdrawl......presented by a mental health therapist who cried on the last day of her honeymoon because she had to leave WDW and POFQ and go back to the real world lol.

1) Buy your favorite resort soap/body wash through the Disney website

2) Hang out here on Disboards

3) load up playlists on Spotify and Pandora

4) Make a list of your favorite Dis movies and watch one on the weekends

5) Find awesome vloggers on youtube to follow such as The Krispysmores, Ellie Steadman, and Happiest Vlogs On Earth
 
I like to find a friend who's planning a trip and help them plan. Nothing makes me feel better than a new trip spreadsheet :)

Is it silly that I legit get giddy helping plan people's trips? I have a girlfriend who is planning her honeymoon there now and we spent most of sunday planning and me showing her youtube vids of stuff. Then.......the spreadsheet! (which maybe the best part!!)
