I usually go on vacation right about now and I'm seriously depressed that I'm not going to disney this year. My obsession is rearing its head more than usual. How does everybody else cope with disney withdrawal/depression?

Watch disney attraction videos, Play games that reflect Disney. Since I'm not going until next year I'm building up the anticipation so I'm going back to The Museum of Science & Industry as the Museum is getting the Treasures of The Walt Disney Archives exhibition and the week before I go back Disney on Ice is coming back to Chicago..

I feel like I need to do the opposite @Cmdr_Crimson . I need to remove myself fromDisney related things, otherwise I just pine away for Disney and get more depressed!

That was us this year! We just could NOT justify the expense and instead spent the year paying off all our debts! We're officially completely debt free (except our car which will be done in 2 months)!!
Instead, we went camping! Drive to the Grand Tetons and camped at Colter Bay! Visited Yellowstone! The whole trip, gas included, cost less than $600!! That got me over my WDW depression quick!
Now we don't think we plan on visiting WDW for another 5 years! We want to go back to the Grand Tetons, back to Yellowstone. We absolutely loved it!

I'm glad u found a distraction, but I went camping at Letchworth this year and it did nothing to curb the craving lol

Hahaha! I think it was the combo of getting debts paid off as well as the company we went with! Friends who live in Idaho we hadn't seen in 2 years
so I think the combo set us off right! Haha

@Magic addict Letchworth is pretty, but I agree, not enough of a distraction from disney! H and I are thinking about tent camping at Allegheny this spring! I'm a little afraid of bears.

Read Walt Disney quotes.
Do what makes you happy, if Disney is it, absorb all you can get away from Disney.
Listen to Soarin or soundtracks that really pull you back at Disney.
Watch ride throughs and Popsong's resort tours.
Have fun and break out into Disney songs at random moments.
Sometimes.... "I WILL MAKE A MAN OUT OF YOOUU♪."
Buy a Dilly Bar and imagine as if its a Mickey.
Smile.

Start planning your next trip! Doesn't matter how far out it is or if you even know when it will be.

I will have to do that this weekend.
Can we cry on each other's shoulders?!
That's so cool, Britt!
I'm trying to not think about it too much, or should I say, I'm only letting myself think "how neat it would be to plan a new trip." With that said, I've had the Birnbaum's 2012 Disneyland Guide checked out from the library, and I'm SOOOOOO trying to think of any way we can pay for a Disney cruise in December before the Wonder leaves Galveston (I don't think that's happening - not for in the neighborhood of $6,000.).

Congratulation
That super tough decision I know too well, but isn't it a great feeling to know that you are debt-free? As much as I'm a hardcore Disney fans, that feeling surpasses anything Disney can offer.
