Guys, I'm planning on hitting WDW in late August for a nice week long trip with just me and the wife. But my problem is, due to stress and an overall need to escape reality, I am having sever WDW withdrawal. :brick: :hammer: :cry:

Does anyone have any suggestions on things to do/try/listen to/think about/etc... to help me make it till August? Thanks.:wave:

We'll be there in late August too!

If things are really bad why not dig out those old pictures, videos and go thru them. We always get the planning books, visit our favorite Disney sites and then, of course, there is the crazy world known as WDW Magic. :wave:

Reading this site is keeping me in one piece until I go in July. This is such a long stretch for me, I was there in December and always go in May, but this year I'm going with my brother and his family so I decided to go in July. I really didn't think 1 1/2 months would be such a big deal, but it is. So I read things on this site, listen to WDW music and tell myself, it won't be much longer and I'll be back at the world.

Yes, coming here always helps. Living vicariously thru others is always a good way to escape from reality.:animwink:

I'm planning my wedding in the meantime, and let me tell you, that's pretty distracting. :lol: But I realize not everyone can fill their in-between time with something that massive.

On my other trips (and even on this one, to a slightly lesser extent,) my big thing is planning. I find that there's always something left that I can look over or plan (whether it's basic stuff like which park on which day, or nit-picky stuff like making a packing list and determining what I need to buy between now and the time I leave,) and that really helps to fill the gap.

And of course, WDWMagic, which I love to pieces before we leave and am unable to revisit until my next trip is booked out of sadness when I get back. :lol:

I'm having major withdrawal... I usually go to Disney every weekend but this month I have only been there 2 times... once last week to the MK (:-/) and then at the beginning of the month to see the May 5th festivities... I'm having MAJOR DISNEY WITHDRAWAL!!! Hopefully I'll get to go this weekend... there's something about the air over there that is clearer and helps me to stay alive... I NEED THAT AIR!!!!

Hahahaha, nothing personal here JROK, but being able to go every weekend? You have no idea what withdrawal is. Move a plane ride away and see how many weekends you get there. Then feel the pain of withdrawal.... :D

I just got back on Friday night and have been near ripping my hair out to find ways to get back down there. I dont start work until next week so all I can really do is sit around and plan. I know my girlfriend is wanting to go back around Hallloween, and if things go my way this is going to be the most jam packed, exhausting, and thrilling trip that we have ever been on.

I'm beginning to think that WDW is like crack... sweet, sweet crack...

See, I hadn't gone back since 1999 before I went back in 2003, and I was totally okay, not thinking about it every moment, not planning my next vacation with every free moment... Yes, I thought about going back, and would often daydream, but not the way I am right now.

For the past two years, through a series of very happy circumstances, I've been able to go back three times (about once every 10 months). And lately, it's ALL. I. CAN. THINK. ABOUT. And while I should be thrilled that I will be going back next year in July/August for a super deluxe trip that I'm already saving up for, I can't help but try and figure out ways to get there sooner (even though I know it would be to the detriment of the trip that I am going to need after my 10 months of servitude, starting in September).

So to answer the initial question of how to cope? I've been listening to my WDW loops non-stop on my iPod, and have been posting like a maniac in these forums, even though I should be studying for tomorrow's Real Estate exam. *sigh*

Every weekend? And you have the nerve to be sad? There's people in Etheopia with no food, and Canadians that can only make it 1/year (if they're lucky!).
(Can you feel the envy? I need to find a nice florida girl to marry).

Speaking as a fellow jealous Canuck, I think that missing WDW is all relative - see my above post re: IT'S LIKE CRACK!!! :hammer: The more you go, the more you have to go... Until it spirals into a full-on addiction that can only be solved by going back.

You ain't joking. And I was diagnosed many years ago as having a compulsive addictive personality. I literally get addicted bad to EVERYTHING I like. :lol:

You're welcome :D. If you are new to MIRC, just read the instructions through a few times and it will start to make sense. Then set everything up CAREFULLY. One small typo and it won't work.

But Ohhhh Boy! Once you get then hang of it :D

Yeah - I have some bad WDW withdrawl myself - it's even painful to come here to WDWMagic because then I have to remember that Disney lives on ~without ME!!~ :cry:
