Do you ever think that someone is getting on your favorite ride?

[Daisy'sMom]

I was just folding clothes and just thought that someone is getting on TTA. It happens all the time, all of a sudden I will think about that lucky person that is walking down Main Street, the person having the Dole Whip right now, someone is sitting on a bench outside of Germany having a beer, I could go on and on. But then I wondered if others think these kind of thoughts on a daily basis. I hope I am not the only one.

You most definitely NOT alone in doing that! I like to relive that feeling of being in a particular place in WDW and the 'magic' that comes with it.

I am bad for "mini-vacationing" like that. I tend to do alot of 'a month ago I was enjoying the sun and a french crepe today' or 'three months from now we'll be having mickey waffles in the FQ food court' instead of sitting at work. . . .

I think that is all that keeps me sane some days!!

[Dsnygirl]

You are definitely not alone... I don't know that it happens every day (well, at least not now that I'm almost a year out from our trip -- I'll bet it was more like every day for quite awhile after we got back... ) but I do find myself suddenly "in the parks"... picturing walking down Main St, sitting in PoC, walking the queue at EE or going through the trails at AK... my DH always says were blessed to have been enough times that these memories are so clear, it's like you're suddenly "there". Sure helps get through some of those long days!!

I randomly check the wait times on my Iphone while I am at my desk working just to see how long I would have to wait to get on my favorite rides. I also picture all the people getting lined up for the parades, fireworks etc so you are not alone....

[darthmacho]

This is my curse as well. The other night I turned to a co-worker and said, "Right now, someone is sitting at the Muddy Rivers pool bar, drinking MY drink."

I always think to myself what people in WDW must be doing right at that very moment. Right now, someone eating at Crystal Palace is getting a hug from Pooh...sigh, now I'm really depressed.

That's funny Now I need to get one of those phones.I just live vicariously through friends I know are there, by texting them and making a pest of myself. But I do dream a lot. Its funny how there are never any lines or excessive heat in my daydreams.

[crltkcagle]

Yep all the time!

I keep music from the parks on my iPod, so when I'm out for a jog it sometimes surprises me by shuffling to "America, spread your golden wings..." or some other park tune. Instantly transports me there and gets me through the jog. Better yet, it puts me in the best mood!

[SandmanGStefani24]

yeah, I sure hope so!

I think about how much joy I get out of something simple, like people watching while I wait for my sushi at Tokyo Dining. Or finding strange new items in the world showcase, riding into the darkness on the TTA, or simply staring at Cinderellas castle just glad to be there.

I love the idea that someone is enjoying the same things I do, and that what gives me joy can give so many others the same feeling. I'd give almost anything to be there right now, but just knowing at least SOMEONE is getting to enjoy it makes it a little easier to swallow.

[TikiLounger]

I do it all the time. It usually starts when I'm sitting at the gate in the airport, waiting for my flight home and I get to watch the people who just arrived at MCO walk off the plane with excited, happy looks (well, most of them look happy...I always assume they're the ones going to Disney...). I get to think to myself that it's all just starting for them and I imagine all the fun they're about to have. Just think! in three short weeks, someone may be waiting at the airport for THEIR flight home and they'll see me arriving and they'll remember how much fun they just had!

OMG....I do the eact same thing. The other day I said to my husband...we can say a next month we are going to Disney...and next month at this time we can say only 3 more weeks until we go...he said WHAT?

I know we are all crazy but we love it!!!

[Carolanne]

I do something a little different: whenever I see one of my local airport transportation vans, I tend to imagine that the people in the van are going to the airport & heading to WDW . Every. Time.

[BandMan]

Not only is that a big yes from me, but I believe this a large reason why we're all here on INTERCOT.

I can only speak for myself, but I come here PRECISELY to imagine either myself or someone else getting on a ride (BTMRR for me) instead of stuck in my office teaching beginner saxophones. (You just can't know how bad until you've done it ... )

That's always the low point for me, more than the last ride or fireworks, packing up all our stuff and shutting the door behind us one last time. It's the feeling that as we mope through the lobby we seemed to have just checked in but now we're already leaving and THEY are checking in! That's not fair!! But you do get to take all the memories with you - let the daydreaming begin!!

[MississippiDisneyFreak]

Can't help but to feel a little when someone tells me they're going to WDW

[elmjimmlm]

I have thought the exact same things but I also get jealous when I read how many days someone has to wait and I haven't even planned another trip!!!

[Mitzie]

Do you want to talk depressing...my DH will say we have 46 days till our trip and 52 days till we are home...All these months of planning and changing stuff and it is gone in a blink of an eye...

I also check Orlando's weather sometimes...especially in the winter when it's cold and snowy here in NJ.

I have the Orlando weather on my Favorites and check every morning . . . . and sigh . . . . Most days wishing I was there . . . .

It's such an addiction!!
