Can't seem to get it together after trip, anyone else?

[matt&jakesmom]

Just came back on Friday and I still can't seem to get it together. We were at WDW for 7 days and had a blast . Now after being home, I am blah, tired and depressed. I wasn't like this on vacation. I think I am missing WDW too much. Anyone else feel this way?

I always feel like that after trips to WDW - vacations are great!

To help get out of the "post vacation" slump....just start planning your next one...will instantly give you something to look forward to!

Feel blue when I get back form my WDW vacation,I always start planning another to make them go away.

My husband said a similar thing to me last night on our way back to the real world. He compared it to getting off a great ride when you have a fast pass for another...having another trip planned is like having a fast pass in your pocket. I like the comparison...

We are going in just a few days and I am worried about how we will all be "post" Disney.... for the last 7 months we have pulled together planning and counting down.... we have already started talking about the next trip... I read in another post that you shouldn't be sad to leave you should be happy that you were there. I hope that gets us through! The done with Disney blues, Suck

What a great thought. Now, if I could only get all the laundry sorted from my last vacation instead of chatting online...

I really can sympathize with you! I go through the same thing when we get back!

Phew! Glad I'm not the only one. We recently got back from our first family trip to WDW (went once w/ DH and a few times as a kid) and I was SHOCKED at the post-Disney depression! I was really down for about a week and then spent several weeks thinking about nothing but how to get back to Disney World next year. We've been home about 2 months now and I still read trip reports every day

I definitely sympathize with the OP! I still feel the post-Disney funk a month out. Scrapbooking my trip is helping though. As for planning another trip I know it will be a long while before I can afford another trip and I am planning to move/switch jobs next year so that will be chaotic too, so what am I doing? Shooting for the moon and planning for a trip in 2008!! Hehe! I want to stay at the AKL, so I need the saving time. Hope the AKL is still there in 3 years! hehe!

Wish I had some new suggestions to help!

I got back May 1, from an awesome 8 nights at the World. Since then all I can think about is how I can get back there. We don't have any specific plans for a future trip. My mom keeps saying, "Don't worry we'll go back", but the soonest they'll have enough DVC points for a trip is 2007, and with me starting college I'll be on a totally different vacation schedule. They might be able to go back, but we dont know yet whether I'll be able to. I'm trying to figure out a way to get back there not with family but first I have to find a friend or two that A) wants to go, and B) can afford to go. The fact that I've seen what people are getting for AAA rates (I'm a member) for January at a value resort is making me want to go back even more; it's not a bad price at all, and January I don't go back to school until MLK day, which means I'll be alone in the house for 2 weeks while the rest of my family (including my teacher mom) are at school. Kind of depressing thoughts. I know I should be fortunate to have gone, but I just can't get out of this slump.

LOL
I was going to commiserate with the OP... and also say planning another trip makes it a little better. I had the blahs after our last trip.. never seems long enough. I didn't want to wash clothes/everyday mundane stuff for a few days. I was kinda tired too- it's tiresome and stressful to travel there for 10 days with 3 kids by yourself! Fun yes... but still those other things too. They didn't catch up to me until I got home though. LOL

It's fun to plan a trip even if it's years in the future!

Start writing your trip report! Then you'll always have it to read over and over. Also, start planning your next trip.

or take on some other project that gives you pleasure. I also suffered from "Disneyworld Withdrawl" after our 2003 trip. I had spent 1.5 years researching and planning every detail. The trip was fantastic and coming home was certainly a let-down to say the least. Well, I had the attic bedroom of my 2 oldest sons to plan followed by the "princess" bedroom of my long awaited DD. I transfered my disney planning need to bedroom planning and it helped a lot. Instead of hours on the DIS I spent hours on the net looking a wallpaper and decorating websites. The void was filled and it got me over the withdrawl period.
Writing this made me realize that I'd better start thinking of a project to throw myself into when we come home from this coming Sept trip...........................

The only way I can get it together after a Disney vacation is by planning another one!!!!
