    Default What you do when you are "homesick"

    Since I usually get "homesick" around now bc I like to visit Feb or so, am doing what I can to get through time until I can visit again. I like to view youtube videos (as conflicted as I am about it), listen to live365 audio, and look at old pix to remind myself that I actually WAS there.

    So how about you? What do you do when you miss WDW?

    Mainly Intercot, and I'll listen to Live365 at work. (I don't do it alot if I don't have a trip planned just because it makes me sad.)

    I'll also Youtube videos. Someone had the suggestions once of watching them in the order you would do them at the parks. May do that this weekend!

    My older sister and I (who is my Disney buddy) also like to get online and look at the menus.

    I go through old photo albums and I like to do a walk through of my favorite things in the "world" in my mind. My DD and I will "walk" down main street and into the lands saying out loud where we are and what we see.
    We also will play a game that we try to name everyplace in WDW where you can find a certain character. Not just the character itself but paintings, sculptures, topiaries, name written out, decorations. It can be challenging trying to get just one more then she can remember. Resorts count too.

    Talking

    Dream about my next visit to WDW which will be in October. I listen to my Disney music or
    go on Disney website and look at the parks.
    Can't wait to get back in the land of Mickey and the Magic.

    I like to go through my pictures and videos, youtube, and the trip planning DVD (though I haven't ordered one in a while). I have a sealed storgae box under my bed that has the hard photos (not digital) from some of our first trips when the kids were little and before we had the digital camera. Also in there are the ride photos and character breakfast photos you could buy. Fun!

    I think that's cheating. But then again only 9 years until I can retire and do the same thing.

    I look through all our photo albums, scrapbooks and photobooks from previous trips. Then I plan our next trip in my head.

    We watch old Disney planning DVD's and travel shows that come on TV. - Kids love to spread a blanket on the floor and have a "picnic" while watching the DVD's. We also get our CD's of the music that is in the parks and listen to those. Thinking about doing those things now 10 weeks itll our trip

    Definitely the park music on Live365 and D-Cot. I get one of those going on my iPod, plug it into the sound system in the kitchen and listen to park music in the house while cooking/cleaning/whatever.

    Also look at old videos, and read any WDW books I can get my hands on!

    Oh, and I hang out here on Intercot WAAAAAAY too much.

    Thanks to this post I have discovered Live365 and downloaded a few stations on my phone! Like I needed something else to fuel my obsession!
