Do you only visit the Dis when planning a trip?

[Lynzer Torte]

I've been a member for about 4 years now? Been to DL 4 times since finding the boards.

I find myself only visiting when we're planning a trip, until recently. I really wanted to keep up to date on the construction at CA (via micechat) and realized that I missed the boards, even though I wasn't planning on visiting anytime soon.

Now that I've been regularly visiting for a month, however, DH & I have decided to try and go back for his 35th bday in Sep! Funny how that works, isn't it?

Nope, I was here even when we didn't have APs. LOL

I come here for my daily Disney fix! Sometimes I post, sometimes I just read. I love looking at everyone's photos! When you live 500 miles away, this is the next best thing to being there!

 

[Tink91]

I come on here everyday, for quite a while too! I love reading about peoples trips and all the little bits here and there. I am going in September but I think I will be back for quite a long time afterwards!!!!

 

[spacemermaid]

Nope. I look at the Boards whether I'm planning a trip or not...I can live vicariously through the pics/reviews others post.

Oh, and get inspired to plan yet another trip...

(I've got a family trip coming up in a little over a week, but all the recent talk of the Halloween "extras" has pretty much convinced me that I'll have to plan *another* trip in October...)

No, I always come on here. I love to read about other people's trips.

 

[prettyprincessbelle]

Nope! I haven't gone since May, our APs are expired and our next planned trip isn't until December. I've made super wonderful friends here on the Dis and I like sharing my knowledge!

 

[vettegirl]

Nope, I am on here daily as well. I love reading everything about Disney parks and reading other people's experiences.

I'm always planning a trip so I'm always here

I'm always planning a trip so I'm always here

I was going to say that too! I'm even "planning" a trip even if I don't have a date set and it is year away. If I can't go to DLR, I read about it!

 

[azdisneylover]

Absolutely here no matter what! I love reading about DL and people planning and what good times they have! It is so addicting. Plus, these boards really know how to lift one's spirits.

Oh, heck, I haven't been to DLR since December but I became addicted to the DIS early in January 2008 (well, actually I was lurking before that, but that is when I dipped my toe in the DIS water for the first time!). So I was definitely on here when there was no real planning involved at all!! Like Courtney, I have also made some wonderful friends on the DIS (and she is one of them!) and now I 'have to' visit here often - trip or no trip - just to put in regular Mod appearances and make contributions!! So if I am not actually planning for my own trip, I can read other folks' Trip Reports and look at their pictures so rather than feel upset that I can't be there when I want to be, I can feel excited for someone else who got to go, and share in that excitement with them too, which, in turn, helps build my anticipation for my own 'next trip.'

 

[Chris420]

Yes, but thats because im generally beginning to plan my next trip before even getting home from the previous

 

[Sleepless Knight]

Well as of right now, I have no trips scheduled to the DLR. However, I have two and maybe even three trips possibly happening in the next few months. I'm one of those people that usually has a trip planned even when I don't know when it's happening.

 

[Lynzer Torte]

Although I'm kind of surprised that no one has said they only visit when planning a trip- I guess I shouldn't be. Those people probably aren't planning any trips right now!

 

[disneynerd420]

I don't know. The entire time I have been posting on the DIS I have been planning an upcoming trip. When I started posting I was planning my June trip and I am now planning my sept trip. I know when I get back from my trip in sept, I will be planning my Spring Break trip. So I can't answer that question. But I would think that even if I was not currently planning a trip I would still be here discussing one of my greatest loves.

 

[usschmidt]

I may take a break after our AP's expire. We won't be planning a trip for a few years and it sometimes makes me sad to see everyone else planning kwim. But then I'm sure I'll come back to live vicariously through y'all

 

[Belle Ella]

I think I'll be sticking around. In my mind I will always be planning my next trip, even if it's years down the road. No point in not keeping updated. Besides, I just love to read all of the new TR's that come through. Even if I don't post I'm usually always here and I'll bet it will stay that way for a long while.

 

[Disneyanajc]

The Dis is my morning paper, I grab a cup of coffee and read the Dis ...so I'm here almost every day...jc

 

[wvnative]

Nah. I still check in even when I am not actively planning a trip. Hearing other people's thoughts and how much fun they had make not being there sting a little less I think.
