Missing Disney World

For me it hasn't been too bad because I have been the last 3 years in a row but after this May trip I won't be able to go back for another 3 or 4 years (hopefully) but I will read everyone's trip reports and read everyone's threads and get ideas from them as to what I really or must do when I go back...well that is the plan anyway.

I read everyone else's trip reports. The ones with lots and lots of photos are my favourites. Nothing cheers me up like seeing a new report start.

I love seeing everyone's pictures with their trip reports. You Tube is another great way to view "The Magic" as well. Sometime I pop in the Disney Vacation DVD's that feature the hotel resorts and parks.

Also in the same boat! I've been tons, but more specifically the last three years in a row and a week on the Disney cruise. We do not have any trips planned at the moment. We are thinking maybe 2015 with my DH's family. Fortunately, it isn't the money for me, but my DH isn't obsessed as I am and wants to visit other vacation spots. I *guess* I am okay with that..LOL I go through my Disney withdrawal ever so often. However, I will say that Disney has always been expensive and getting more and more expensive each year. If they raise minimum wage to $10, then we will probably see a much larger increase. Disney used to be a reasonable vacation for a family of four, but now the Disney vacation will cost you the same to visit Europe or fly to an island-all inclusive for a week.

To help me through, I enjoy reading trip reports, I read CM blogs and Disney College Program blogs (which are quite funny), and hit up YouTube often to watch vacation Vlogs! This makes me feel somewhat in the loop.

I watch a lot of you tube also and I used to have an app but I lost it and now I think its not available anymore but you could listen to all the rides and shows and music from the parks and resorts.

Nothing beats the Disney Parks planning DVD's.
It's unfortunate that they've stopped supplying them to us Brits..
It means I have to pay for them on eBay! - Still - - It's worth it.

I do nothing...Unless I've booked a trip..We have been making our pilgrimage every two years since our first WDW visit in 2004. But the year in between I research the country/resort that were going too..( last year was Andalusia ) However, the minute we book our Disney holiday that's when I get super excited because I know that we are going back..We watch past vacation DVDs of our trips,I listen to Disney park stations on my I- Pad when I do my housework ( I'am a Mrs Doubtfire ) I read books,research,have Disney parties, ( in fact my next one is in July. ) And every Sunday, I wear a WDW T- Shirt..Now roll on October..

A good portion of people have said that the best way to cope missing Disney World is to begin planning another trip. So I make mock plans for my next trip. So in my mind, I decide what resort I want to stay, how many days, what new places to eat, etc. I also check social media, YouTube, blogs and forums to keep me up to date on the latest news in the parks and resorts. It's been over a year since my last visit and while I don't really miss it per say, I usually wait to actually book my trip until I am seriously inclined and motivated to visit so for me, I'm waiting between 2016-2018 for the next one because by then, hopefully, all the FP+ problems will be sorted out, Disney Springs and Avatarland will be completed and hopefully, hopefully, something new will be added to Epcot and the Studios.

JW24....that is why am going to wait after this May trip to either 2017 - 2018 for that same reason...Disney Springs and Avatar to be completed. It will be hard but something to look forward to.
