Need Help With Post Vacation Depression

[betty rose]

The worst part is how jealous I am of the people checking in and of the folks on here and in my FB timeline who talk about their current or upcoming trips. :-/

We all feel that way upon coming home. One thing I like to do is make a photo album of our trip. Let's me relive the experiences. Then I fix a Disney treat simple cupcakes or even bought cupcakes, and put Disney sprinkles , that I bought on the trip on them. Sit down and have a beverage, treat and look at the album. It really helps me. I hope you start planning your next trip, even if it's a couple years down the road. I also make a countdown to the next trip, a very long paper chain, using Disney color's, hang it up and rip one off each day. I also got a Disney mug and bowl, for coffee and cereal in the morning. I have a Disney breakfast every day. I hope you can find your way out of the Disney return let down.

Every time I leave I have to tell myself that, as much as I hate leaving, I'd get bored if I stayed. There's only so much to do and see and buy. You have to give the parks time to re-generate and re-stock so that when you come back there's something new and exciting. Worst case scenario is that you get bored of WDW and fall "out of love" with it.

Plus, for me, I think I have as much fun planning the trips as I do actually being there. And, I'm not exaggerating about that. I almost get a little depression when I leave for a trip because it means all of the planning is done. And, while I'm on trips, I start planning the next one. I LOVE the planning part. So, there is always that to look forward to. And, even if you don't go back for a little while, that entire time you could be researching and planning.

And, for the really tough days, I turn on youtube tracks of the park music in my office so at least I can feel like I'm there

Yes the planning is fun and when it's gone, it does feel a little empty! LOL

As I type this I'm walking from my room at the Coronado to have breakfast and check out.
It's silly how sad I get when leaving WDW.
I found this website a year after my last vacation.
My son told me he loved the vacation because of the memories and because we spent 24/7 as a family.
Really sad!

We always look sadly at those checking out when we are checking in as we all know how TERRIBLE that walk to the desk is :-( time to start planning a return trip ! I can't wait for 2016 rates!

I always cry when I leave MK for the last time, I take one last good look at the Castle and get teary eyed...I also tend to cry a little on the ME bus back to the airport...But as soon as I get home, I start planning my next trip, even if it's 2 years away, it still helps to cure post Disney depression!

Me too! I'm glad I'm not the only one!

Start the planning for the next trip, that's what we do.

Like pretty much everyone else has said, start planning! I start planning the moment I drive off property headed home lol. It's a long 1 hour drive :/

Another thing, if you go on YouTube. Check out SeeYaReelSoons page. They vlog their vacations and the videos are really good. They put out a new video every Wednesday. Always helps me when I'm having the Disney blues
