weeping into my tink mug

[njcarita]

here i am getting all weepy drinking coffee out of my tinkerbell mug - i picked up at the world in december-

I WANT TO GO BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I keep telling myself- GET A GRIP GIRL- you were just there is december-
i'm planning to go mack jan 06 for the half marathon-

I really don't think i can wait that long!!!!

my mind is going into overdrive plotting - if i save x amount on groceries, don't buy any new clothes, start giving piano lessons etc etc etc- i can go back sooner.

is there more inportant things a 40 year old mother of 3 - should be planning for???????????

is there an official term for this disney illness???

here hoping they never find a cure!!!

**Sigh** I feel the same way! We were there in October and I did not want to come home. DH said we could go back again next Fall but now he is wanting to go somewhere else for a vacation!! (HOW COULD HE???) **Sigh** I'll just keep looking for a good "opening" to get down there again!!

Me too- I was there in December also and I have been JONESING for a Disney trip the last few days. I feel like some kind of kook!

It's hard when the spirit is so willing but the bank account is weak!

I'm always looking for ways to fund that next trip! FF miles, hotel points, rebates, rewards programs, coin jars...I'm like an addict looking for a way to finance that next fix. Pixie Dust has got to be more addictive than any drug known to man!

Pixie Dust has got to be more addictive than any drug known to man!

That's the most enlightening statement I've ever heard and OH how true!!

That statement definately deserves TAG FAIRY attention!

I feel the same way sitting here drinking out of my Coronado Springs mug! I am embarrased to admit that I go into a post-Disney depression upon returning from a trip!

Well, THIS [almost] 40-yr. old mother of 3 is already planning HER next trip, which isn't until NEXT May!! I, too, try to figure out what little things I can do to make extra $ for The Fund (we have an old mason jar in the kitchen with a Mickey key chain attached to it, for loose change - it's The Official Jar of the Walt Disney World Addicts Club! LOL!!)

However, until I can get back there (we were just there last Sept.), I am surrounding myself with all manner of Disneyana...Pin collecting, "decorations" for my new minivan, and visiting this board!!!

I know how you all feel. It seems as though going to WDW or Disneyland is all I think about all night and day. When I need a pretend fix I go downstairs, get my "Wilderness Lodge" mug, fill it with ice and soda and head back upstairs to get back on the Dis. When my DS asks where I went I tell him that I went down to "Roaring Fork" to get some soda. Now if I could just look out my bedroom window and see the monorail and Cinderellas Castle through the trees I would be right back in room 5030 at WL. OK-back to reality!!!

I think our imaginations and love for Disney and the belief in the "Magic" keep us real people and young.

I know how you feel - I was there 4 years ago after our last trip!!

I just said to my husband yesterday, "What are we going to do after this trip is over?" He responded with, "You just stay off that Disney board and you'll be fine!"

I am trying to figure out a savings plan as well....we were just there last Sept, and hopefully will get back this coming Oct. With our new car payments, triple gas bills, and mortgage increase, that's a lot of pb & j we'll be eating to save up the $$! I have been working on DH, who, for the first time in a long time feels he needs a trip to the mouse house (I'm the one who usually insists on WDW). Last night we had hot dogs for dinner-they were on sale for .79. With a pkg of rolls for .99, a can of .50 sauerkraut, all the fixins', and some french fries from Costco, I think we did pretty good! Guess we'll be eating a lot of pasta, LOL. I can't believe it was only about 5 months ago when we were sitting in Philharmagic....and that it will be at least another 7 months before we may go back....
I think I'll go listen to Park Hopper radio on Live 365 now. That always softens the agony.....

DH has already realized that I am happier when I have a Disney trip to look forward to even if it's a long way off. Now that we joined DVC, we can make plans 11 months ahead of time so it seems we always have a trip in the works.
