Post Kingdum Depression

[ricapito]

Is this normal? How long before it goes away? Is there a cure? I've only been back about a week...

 

[athenna]

It's normal. Mine doesn't go away until the next time I get there. I've only been back a little over a month and I missed it as soon as I got back home. Especially with all the anow we've gotten since!

I am expecting PKD when I get back. So my wife and I agree to play the bad cop when one of gets this and starts talking about adding on. If only Pixie Dust was real, we could take it to relieve the symptoms...

 

[Degli]

I thought it was just me! OMG, see you guys have to realize that everytime we would get I would wine about how I miss the world and my husband would think I'm crazy. He does miss our vacations but I guess I cry a little bit more about WDW. And then I get the kids going.....I could go on and on.

YES it's normal, and to answer your other 2 questions:

Next Trip Home:
351 days, 12 hours (and counting!)

Those trips never come soon enough thou!

My PKD kicks in the night before our last day in the parks and does not subside until we go back. It does get easier, though, as time passes. I'm still not sure if these boards help or make my symptoms worse, though

Glad to see I'm not alone. It's odd. By the end of the week at Disney I get exhausted from fighting crowds, kids, lines etc. and am almost subconsciously relieved the trip is nearing an end. Then I miss it almost immediately when I'm home. It truly is my escape from a very stressful reality I suppose....

Planning your next trip is the surest remedy. Or it will make you even more depressed. In that case I'd suggest:

HBC

We always get it when the magic comes to an end,and it's time to return to reality.....Immediately,we can start dreaming of our next trip,and this helps.Plus,reading these boards help me live vicariously through those whose trips are coming up before mine,and that helps!
Take care,and start planning ,you'll feel better in no time! :jumping4:

 

[Cruelladeville]

I have it, too, and I just got back on the 29th of Dec. It helps to plan your future trips. I am already trying to figure out a way to go down for a long weekend. If only I didn't have to work for a living...

We are driving home right now as I'm typing and we already are wishing we were back. We spent the day over at Epcot and didn't leave for our drive home until 4:30pm. DS is asleep in the van, DD is almost asleep while watching a movie, DH is driving and I'm on the boards. We have already planned our next trip and I think I'll go work on my countdown for that one.

I know exactly how you feel. I'm suffering from it BAD! We just got back to PA on the 9th from a 4-night DC and a night at SSR. Our passes don't expire until May and I'm not due until June so I am desparately trying to find a way to get one more trip in mid-March. I want to go back SO BADLY!


HELP!

 

[JustLoveDisney]

I feel your pain! I haven't been since 1999 OMG has it been that long! I love to watch the parades from WDW on TV and I must confess I rewatch my promotional DVD.

I was due to go this year but my brother has gotten engaged. I can't afford both trips this year. I have committed to the wedding but my love of disney heart and the precious eyes of my 4 year old son just scream go to WDW and send him an awesome gift. But I won't Sigh the struggle of being a close family

I agree with Happy Birthday Cat totally! I'm always planning my next vacation. Another cure PKD is to add on points so you can go more often. However that becomes another problem in itself! I love the discussion boards too but sometimes they may me just more and more anxious to get away again. I also love looking at my Disney Photo albumns. Oh god I'm just making myself more and more depressed I can't wait to go back!!!!
