The conundrum of missing WDW

[Graham9]

When I'm between Disney trips - that is to say I have nothing planned to visit WDW, I cut off all and everything Disney. I really don't want to see or hear from the place on the basis I really want to go there and at the moment, I can't and don't want reminding of the place.

Once a trip is booked....that's a different matter. Out comes the photos and vids.

That's not quite as pathetic as watching other peoples' home videos on YouTube... living vicariously through their trips to WDW.

I do that, but I do something that's probably even more pathetic-watching the "walkarounds" people have done in each of the parks. No shots of attraction interiors, just showing the entire park. It has been coming in handy, now that I have a trip booked-but it's 8 months away and I want to go right now.

I do like to recite the monorail spiel in my head.

I have it set as my ringtone...

I take as many soaps as I can when we're there and will use one every once in awhile at home. The scent always takes me back to our vacation..... And the little Mickey face on the soap always makes me smile.

Or getting a phone call from a friend whose just calling to say Hi... and inform you that they are at that moment standing in MK... and you can hear the park background music playing.

I had a friend once text me a picture of her at WDW saying, "guess where I am? Jealous???" Yes. Yes I was.

I kind of had a bad night at work tonight. I told myself to cheer myself up at least I have 8 more weeks until I head back to Disney.

I have 12 left, but it is less than 13. So every week is closer to paradise!

I just watched a couple of those yesterday! I think the guy's name is iThemePark, and he has a really high quality camera and a Steadi-cam device that makes his videos very smooth. Now, from the standpoint of a video editor of many years, he does some very strange transitions from shot to shot. But the video images themselves are really excellent, and make for a fun view.

160+ days out... Friday's are the worst because I'm one of the only people in the office so my mind wanders to Disney...Good side, I can blare my Disney music which is great because "Be Our Guest" has been stuck in my head for a couple weeks now

I only have 14 more days left until we depart for Disney! Currently booking fastpasses and listening to old parade music... I can't wait to dash into the parks like a madman once again

I do 2 things.

I read the forum pages and news sites, and I look at the videos, especially on the ears site, of the resorts and stuff. I can then at least pretend I am coming back soon and immerse myself in all things Disney.

Well, it's good to keep up with what's happening, for when I really am coming back, right?

Or have the entire monorail spiel on your phone and listening to it on the drive to and from work

Where did you find the recording at?

 

[Maerj]

I play the music in the car and watch the Resort TV videos at home. When we get really hard up, my daughter and I sniff sunblock and watch Martin's videos.

 

[EasyRover]

I always watch the vacation planning DVD and listen to the music most daily.

Im going through it bad right now.
#1. I am set to buy tickets for mickey's not so scary when they go on sale in May.
#2. I am buying annual passes for the family as a gift for christmas.
#3. I am not rich so I will be trying to pre-book a night during the weekend right before new years at Animal kingdom Lodge I will be trying to book in late May.
and then #4 I just helped my buddy plan his 4 day Florida Resident ticket vacation that he is going to go to in May.

So I am constantly plotting and planning and paying for Disney and I cant even get a taste until LATE SEPTEMBER
at the very least I have my universal studios a.p.'s. It helps a bit.

I know there are some on Youtube, but I had um *cough* "LimeWire-d" it a loooooong time ago (when I was a naive youngling).

I'm reading the 2017 guidebooks again.
