OMG!! I always feel like a bit*h because I feel a little green eyed when I'm nearing the end of my trip and someone else is just starting. I thought I was the only one.

 

[QJ411]

Me too! I hate that crummy feelin too! I'm heading there soon, and I'm ALREADY sad that the trip is only 5 days and I'll have to leave WL again! Waahhhhhhhh......

I wish I could live there! hee hee

 

[kilee]

By our last day I'm already figuring out the next trip's dates!! That is truly how I beat that depressed feeling.

On our last morning, it feels like we "don't belong" anymore. We usually spend our time gathering our belongings and get ready to depart. By the time we get to MCO, we start discussing our next trip. It is the only thing that keeps us sane.

I'd love to plan my trip 1 year in advance, but if i want to go w/ dh, than i have to plan about only 6 mos. in advance .. sucks!
wonder if any of us could ever meet and go on disney vacation like a club?

We Plan Our Next Trip!

You hit it right on the nail head...Sunday night in Downtown Disney I felt that way and felt guilty watching parents who had just arrived tell kids, now wait till tomorrow when we get to the Magic Kingdom...I was green eyed with jealousy and only the fact we have our big trip in Nov/Dec saved me from a melt down or major depression moment at least.

I'm notorious for crying on the last day of a trip--ANY trip, not just Disney--because I love my vacations so much. I just constantly read up on Disney and think about my next trip. that's all I can do to combat the end-of-vacation blues!

 

[TerryU.]

I start feeling depressed and jealous. Then I ask everyone in my group when do we want to come back? It helps a little.

 

[Aisling]

Just reading the subject of this thread gave me a sick feeling in my stomach.

I know that feeling, the last day, we're checking out, they're checking in...it's very depressing. Even my kids feel it, being in quiet moods while we go through the motions of departing. I try to liven up things by saying Wow, what a great time we're having, wasn't this a fantastic trip!! And then I realize I'm speaking in the past tense, and it brings me down.

But when we get home, we have our newly-made memories to talk about EVERY night at the dinner table, in the car, at bedtime, all the time. And we plan our next trip.

This would be fun, since none of my friends or extended family get it about our love of WDW.

Like everyone else, I start planning for my next trip and think about the fun time I had. Saying farewell to my favorite place and wishing others well are the strong spices that give the trip a bittersweet taste.

 

[dina7]

Wow, I really thought I was the only one who felt this way. I hate hearing people on the bus ride back to our resort on our last night talking about which park they will go to tomorrow. I do get that sick feeling in my stomach, just figuring it was because I was a Disney freak. But then again, you guys are too! Of course I mean that as a compliment!! I am proud to be a Disney freak. Our last trip, this past Nov. was actually the first time we started discussing our next trip and where we would stay. It does make you feel a little better.

 

[*Fantasia*]

I don't want guests who are checking in to know that we're sad that we're leaving Disney, so I just put a big smile on my face to show them that we had a fabulous time and we enjoyed Disney that we're going to do it again and again and again.

And every time we get on those monorail to take us to the terminal... I always tell my kids that we won't be leaving Disney anymore cause we're moving to Orlando and that makes us all feel better!!

I always have to hide those tears on the planning. All the while DH & DS just roll their eyes- "Mom's crying again"

 

[MaryKatesMom]

We came back yesterday.

Boy, it is hard sitting in front of the Grand Floridian and waiting for the town car. Watching all of the wonderfully expectant faces as new guests look at the resort for the first time. The Honeymooners walking up to the concierge desk and listening as the CM walks them to their room.

Planning the next trip is the only way to keep from crying.

 

[jimmiej]

I thought I was the only one that felt that way!

 

[colleen costello]

When we are driving away from WDW, reading my Passporter and reviewing all the "memories" I recorded, helps a lot. I start planning the next trip on the long drive home. We have DVC now and go once or twice a year. It helps, but it's still hard. Going back to reality is a BUMMER!

 

[Jillpie]

Oh, I do believe there is nothing worse on your last day, sitting at the bus stop waiting to go to MK for the last time and then....seeing those luggage carts filled to the brim with suitcases and families starting their vacations. I just hate that. But then I realize their trip will come to an end too. Nope, there is nothing worse than to see other people's luggage coming on their first day.

This thread is too funny! Count me in as feeling sad on the last day.

The place it really gets to me is at the airport. I'll be standing at the monorail waiting to go to my flight and watching people getting off just starting their trip. Waaa!

A couple of years ago something wonderful happened. I had made the trip on the monorail over to the gate. We were then notified that our flight had been delayed because of terrible weather in Boston. About an hour later, we found out it had been cancelled!

I think I was the only person over joyed that it had been. At the time my son and his g/f were living in Kissimmee so I had a place to stay. My trip back on the monorail was one of the happiest journeys I've had in Orlando. It took all my reserve not to start jumping up and down that I was going back to WDW! I ended up staying 3 more days.

I've always called the airport monorail the best and worst ride in Orlando. It depends if you're coming or going.
