How long does that Disney high linger around????

[smk]

This trip I started to get almost resentful of people checking on the day before we checked out. I'd look at them and know they had their whole trip ahead of them and I got really sad that my trip was coming to an end.

Leaving MK was horrible this time, I can usually trick myself into believing I had another trip to plan. However, this time I started to cry on main street and it got worse when my DH squeezed my hand. I know he was feeling the same way, and he is never emotional leaving. I know in my head we will go back, we always do, but this trip was so special with our kids being there with us. I am constantly looking at trip planning once I get home, always on my mind, trying to get back there.

I look at the photos, order a photobook (which takes me forever to make, by the way) and within 3-4 months usually get an email with a pin code offer that I can't refuse...and then the planning starts again!!

I try to think positive - I know I'm going to go again in about a year and with all of the construction going on, it will be a whole new world when I go back. (OK - bad Aladin pun) Much as I'd like to go back more often it's just completely cost prohibitive (we like to stay on the monorail) - so at least I know there will be a lot of changes to take in when I do get back!

It really sinks in whenever we are sitting outside the resort waiting for the Magical Express to pick us up and take us to the airport...
I see families just getting there and laughing and smiling...
Thats usually about the time i start having tears run down my face.

Then once we are on the bus and the farewell video starts playing...yup im done... i have to bury my head so people wont see a 26 year old woman boo-hooing b/c she is leaving the World. hahaha (at least im a quite sobber right?:lookaroun)

For me it's right before we leave...... We always drive and DH prefers driving during the wee morning hours so we usually leave around 3 or 4 am. Anyway, when we pack the last of our stuff into the car and there's nothing left to do other than get in the car and leave, I always take one last look at the resort with all the lights shining brightly, wave, and say "see ya next year Disney World"........ It's always so sad but we know we already have the next year booked so that helps a little..

We usually loose the happy WDW feeling when we get back onto I-4 and head west to I-75. That is when we start to talk about when we will come back to WDW and begin the pre-planning. When home I try to shake the funk by getting onto this website along with a few others. Hopefully when our OCT trip ends it wont be to bad because we are going back without the kids in Feb 2011 for our 10 year aniversary!

Whenever I leave the turnstiles at the last park I visit, I feel horribly sad. This depression lifts once I am on the plane because I am a homebody at heart and don't like staying away from home for too long. Once I get home, I have a day or two of contentment as I look over pictures from the trip and share my vacation stories with everyone. But then I have to go back to work and the magic is gone.

I try to keep upbeat by planning things I want to do the next time I go, even though I probably won't be able to go before 2012. I have a list of things I want to do there that I have never done before.
