You know it's time to plan another Disney trip when...

[Asc341]

What are some of the things that trigger your thoughts of "I need another trip to Disney...and ASAP!"?

A few of mine are:

1) Wanting to go back just to walk around the Emporium.

2) Dropping $100 on mystery pin packs via the Disney Shop Parks App, when I thought "nah, I don't need these" when I was actually at Disney

3) Wanting to go to WDW just to buy more Mickey pasta and bottles of Once Upon a Vine.

4) Wanting to go back because you miss a ride queue.

You know it's time to plan another Disney trip when...

- I've finished planning the current one

We rent DVC points from a member whose home resort is BW which is where we prefer to stay during F&W so... a month after we return we're booking the BW because those rooms go fast for that time frame. Viewed that way, there are only 3 to 4 weeks in a year when I'm not planning a WDW trip.

When you return from your last trip to WDW! I was actually planning my October of 2016 trip while in WDW 2 weeks ago.
I also a have a March 2016 trip! It's addicting and add that I now own DCV at the Polynesian and forget it!!

When you've been home for a week and realize you're adrift without a major trip to plan/budget.

Yesterday (so literally one exact week from flying home) I came to the conclusion that I need to visit every Disney park in the world at least once. So I'm not doing WDW again in the foreseeable, but I've started to draw together vague outlines for a trip to England and/or Norway (got a friend in Norway who'd either meet me in London or put me up at her house) that will either begin or end with a foray to DLP. No idea how far out it'll have to be for me to afford it; it'll probably be a month or so before I even have a reliable ballpark figure for setting up a savings plan. It's amazing how much my mood has bounced back from the post-trip doldrums, though, just knowing I have so much research to do.

Haha I totally find myself wanting to buy things I decided I didn't really need when I was in the park I know I have nothing to complain about... in the last year I've been to WDW twice, DL twice, Tokyo Disney, and HK Disney... so I decided I need a long break from another Disney trip... but it's been 4 months since my last and my withdrawal has been coming back like crazy! I've been on this board, the Reddit Disney page, and other blogs non-stop. And I've been listening to Sorcerers Radio at work. Help!

You will love it! I did HK and Tokyo Disney earlier this year and it was an amazing experience! I need to get to DLP now... I was close a few years ago but it never struck me back then to go to the other Disney parks.

I've heard better things about Tokyo Disney than DLP (haven't read much about HK), which is part of why I'm starting with DLP. Figure this string of trips will keep me occupied with planning and saving for a good long while; the last year has shown me that having a really good trip to plan/look forward to makes my life more fun.

 

[epcotty]

you start getting withdrawal symptoms with wanting to go there again

you start dreaming of going there (even if things go wrong in the dream)

You start seeing hidden Mickeys everywhere

 

[merrick]

you just happen to "stumble across" a free dining/park hopper deal for the exact week you would love to go at resort that accepts families of 5....

When you have a lack of enthusiasm for other spring trip ideas that fall within your budget parameter.

I like to do two trips a year that other than visiting relatives for the most part. I've got some great summer ideas, but that has left me a smaller budget for spring break. And of places I looked into going for that mini spring break trip, Orlando was the only one that really fired me up.

When you can't stop watching Disney movies and videos of the parks on YouTube.

 

[Silvermist999]

...when someone you know is visiting WDW right now, and you are soooo happy and more than willing to help when they text/email you for advice while there...
I SO wish i could be there in person to assist, lol.

 

[Karin1984]

When you are in a meeting and could care less what is being discussed. And can only think: "what the PEEP am I doing here?"

 

[SnowWhiteOz]

When you're halfway through your current trip report and realise you're almost out of things to talk about - so clearly a new trip must be booked!

 

[Sparkly]

When the Post Disney Depression hits!

 

[cjparker0110]

When you go on youtube to show your kids POV videos of the awesome rides so they can get your wife excited for the trip without you sounding like a nag...

 

[LuvMyEAR]

In my mind, it starts when I am still there. Every single time I find myself thinking "Boy, that was great! We must do this again the next time." Or "Darn, we didn't get a chance to do that, we must make sure we find time for it next time!"

Of course, in reality I must wait until we are track to bankroll another trip, and can persuade other family members that this what they really want to do, too. But in mind, I have that trip all laid out.

When you get the bounce back offer in the room. Duh.

 

[d-train]

When on your last day of your trip, you call to find out the bounce back discount and think....we can make that work!
