I'm very sad that my trip is over

[disneyeeyorefan]

I got back from my trip to Disney in March and all I can think about is when I can go back!!! I'm still working on my scrapbook which helps and love this website with all the trip reports.

It does make me feel better knowing I am not alone and reading things on the DIS does make it easier...I just got my photopass album and it is so cute! I really really hope to get back Dec 2008. I want to be in the most magical place at the most magical time of year.

You could maybe stay at a value resort during a value time. The prices are much lower then peak times. You can check prices for resorts online.
We can only go every 2 years if we're lucky. Can I also say that going to disney world with your children is so magical. It's a cliche but to see it all through your children's eyes is just wonderful (and alittle exhausting).
Sending you many good wishes for a happy life with your new husband.

Another idea is reading the trip reports. It helped me get through Christmas
2006 when we could not go to our happy place. Reading other people's happy stories & looking at their pictures of the world really helped.

Kids under 3 are free, so no reason NOT to go before your child is 4 or 5. I would think 18 months-2 years would be a magical time. And from what I hear, as long as you go when it is not blazing hot, Disney World when you're pregnant is not too bad. Maybe wait until you get pregnant to plan a celebration trip for when you are 4-5 months along(over morning sickness, but not huge yet) Then plan to go when your little one is around 2. Budget trips can be done even onsite. You just go in the off season and stay at a value resort. Using a AAA discount, it is almost as cheap as a Red Roof Inn. Buy 10 day non-expiring passes and use them over 2-3 trips. Drive instead of flying if you can. Eat only counterservice or have breakfast(from home) in your room.

Hope you get to go back soon! We are going in October and finishing up our 10 day passes. I don't know when we'll get back, but I'm not thinking about that until the trip is over.

You definitely have the typical post-wedding blues as well. I don't know how long you planned your wedding and honeymoon, but it can be quite all-encompassing, and now you're there wondering what to do with yourself!

Let me first state that I haven't yet been to WDW. BUT we have taken DS twice now to Disneyland, first time at just over 1, and second time at just over 2. I have no idea if he remembers the first trip, because he didn't talk all that much until he was 2. But he absolutely positively definitely remembers the second trip. A few months after we got back, he had an explosion of language and just started chattering about the Buzz Lightyear ride, and about the Pooh ride. We hadn't talked about it!

So here we are, planning a 4 or 5 day trip to Disneyland for September, and he's looking forward to it just as much as we are!

So...you might see that you'll change your thoughts on when to take any kiddoes. Plus, they are free to get in until they are 3, and that's hard to beat.

Last note...I myself barely remember my honeymoon (got pg on wedding night, had cruise starting the next week, and slept most of the cruise in early pregnancy exhaustion, and was in a haze the rest of the time)...should I have not gone since I didn't remember it? no! Hubby has good memories and shares them with me...and that's what people who take little ones to Disney parks do, too.


Hope you find something to plan soon!

I just returned from DW in February and I am still having the blues. I wanted to return next year but DH thinks I am nuts ! I am now shooting for 2009 and already planning...

This year's ADD is going to be harder than any other ADD. This fall, my DSis goes off to college, and then it will be me next year. So, this means, we will probably not be going to WDW for a while. We have been going to WDW every year for about 10 years, and after every trip, we have always known that we would be returning the next year. Also, my DF has been running a robotics team that goes down to WDW every spring for a competition, but he decided that this year would be his last year. So, our guaranteed quick trip to Disney in the spring is also gone .

My DSis is, however, planning on doing the college program her sophomore year, so we are hoping that we will be able to go when she is there (and get some discounts ) .

I fell your pain! But even if it doesn't seem like you will be returning to the World in a long time, just promise yourself that you WILL return eventually! If you really want to go back, you will!

My parents didn't think they would ever be able to go back to WDW after their honeymoon, but 7-8 years later, they ended up starting their 10 years of annual WDW visits.

I understand how you feel completely. When my finance and I returned from our trip last October in WDW we were down for quite awhile. The best thing to do is what many other posters have said and that is to start planning your next trip and visit the Disboards often.

Has anyone else taken trips since their Disney vacation and felt those trips were lacking in some way?

I had serious PVD (post vacation depression) after our last Disney trip in December. I often get it (after my wedding, our cruise, all the big events you plan and plan) and it is so sad.

Write a trip report here on the DIS. I found that helped, reliving the trip, sharing it with others, it just helped lift the spirits. And plan another trip, that is always helpful too. Even if you think you might be pregnant, you can still do Disney pregnant (I was 4 months on a trip once, we had booked it and then I got pg) and enjoy it.

I'm glad there are other people who feel this way. I just got back from a trip and all I can talk about is WDW. My friends and family wana strangle me. They just don't get it.

PS to Indianadisneyfan- Love the pic of EE, I have an identical one as the background on my desktop. It's the reason I'm going back to WDW...the Yeti!
