Funny you should mention that. And I continue to digress, but it's not a typical vacation for us either. We go go go! I hate stopping at night to sleep. I want to do more! I figure I'm not at work and I don't have to mow the lawn or shovel the snow off the driveway, so want to DO fun...

This is why I posted here, you guys just GET it. It's the intangible feelings that make it special. The little stories, the fun things. The crowds and heat and wait times are frustrating at the time, but typically forgotten afterwards. Somehow I manage to be sad that it's over and smile that...

I wonder about the age as well. My daughter (age 7) has moved on totally. We still look at pictures and remember fun things, but she's good with being home. Family and friends and school are all going well for her. AND THAT'S TERRIFIC!!! I admire her ability to keep moving forward. It...

omg, I've seen those bungalows, and they look AMAZING. I can't even imagine being able to stay there. And if I did, I'm not sure I'd want to leave! I think the only other thing I would dream of is the treehouses that we see from the boatride from Port Orleans to Downtown...Imean Disney...

That's EXACTLY how my thought process goes. I vividly recall going to bed on this last trip on the 2nd night thinking we had SO MUCH TIME left. Before I knew it, I was thinking "OMG, it's almost over" I think it gets rough at that point because I tend to push, I want to do MORE and squeeze...

You've described the situation very well. We've been counting down to our trip for a couple hundred days. After a crummy day at work, or a stressful game (I coach and my girls play soccer & volleyball) we could always talk about Disney. I feel the blues creeping in on the last couple days of...

It's rough when you're trying to figure out these weird emotional things when you're normally a straightforward logical thinker. I just keep trying to make logical sense, but I guess there isn't much more than "It was a wonderful escape from the stress and troubles of the real world, and now...

Terrific thoughts. I agree, I think a big part of the trip is the weeks and months leading up. We live in upstate NY, so each trip is an event for us. We consider ourselves lucky to be able to go and the next trip is never assured. So when the vacation is over, and there's no plan for...

Thanks for the response! That's an interesting term, and rather accurate. If it's anything like previous trips, the feeling will eventually fade, so "depression" probably isn't an accurate term, but is sure feels that way for a few days. The drive to return and the lack of energy for...

Hey everyone. I don't post much, but I enjoy reading a lot from like-minded individuals. Maybe someone can help me understand this, or maybe I need to see a professional, but we’re just back from an 8 day trip to WDW. It was our 13th trip in 23 years, so we’re not new to the experience...

We actually just pulled the trigger on a trip in May. We finally found the sweet spot with rooms. tickets and flights. It's more than we want to spend but with kids growing up and getting older, we want to spend the time together while we can.

Good call on being booked up. I can't find anything affordable even close to our dates. I wish I had thought about checking out this option sooner. We're really hoping for a trip, but with our date issues, it looks like we'll have to wait. Thanks for your replies and thoughts.

Yikes, I will definitely take a look. Going to a deluxe resort my expectations would be pretty high.

oh no.....well that's disappointing to say the least.

How can you tell?

I think we'd like to try it there, it sounds really nice. Now I just have to get my head around this DVC thing!!

Hi guys, I'm new to this DVC idea and I'm trying to learn as much as I can. If I understand this David site correctly, I need to send them my trip information, and a deposit then they determine if there are points available for me to rent? Looking at the rates for a room at the Polynesian...

Thank you very much for the replies. The DVC thing just seems strange to me, but mostly because I'm a control freak...and I worry a lot too. But it may be the only way we can afford a trip this year.

Hello everyone. Really trying to make a trip happen this year, but the price is a big detriment for our family of 5. We normally stay at PO Riverside and love the food court area and walks around the grounds, and the boat to Downtown. We're looking at a week in mid May for a few reasons...

That's a good idea, thank you, but our dates are a bit tight. We have Advanced Placement exams for two of our daughters in high school. Between their exams and sports we have a very small window. Our aversion to excessive heat and crowds makes it even more difficult!!
