Originally Posted By Bellella Oh, I know that feeling. You plan ahead for your trip, you look forward to it for months, you go and have a great time, and then what? I have a bit of an afterglow for about three days after, and then it's back to reality. Kind of like the crash after having an energy drink.

Originally Posted By Princessjenn5795 I get delayed PDLS after every trip...for the first couple of days I am always glad to be back home (we usually go for about a week). My PDLS tends to kick in around the third or fourth day. My only consolation then is to immediately start planning for my next trip, even though it is likely to be several months later.
Originally Posted By EmmaJayne I've always called it the post-Disney depression.. it was worst after my first ever trip.. I was almost 20 and had spent my entire life so desperate to go.. we had five magical days and I was convinced it would be years before I got back there ( turns out it was almost one year to the day!) I was so depressed that my whole life had been building up to something that was over.. we went to Vegas, San Fran and Hawaii after DL and I was sulky the whole time, even though they are places I had always dreamed of going.. .. It was pretty bad last year too though. After ten nights in Anaheim coming back home to two jobs and nursing my dying grandfather I felt like Cinderella at the start of the movie.. but I agree with Princessjenn... nothing beats it better than starting to plan the next trip ( Currently planning my most magical DL trip ever - my Wedding!)

Originally Posted By Princessjenn5795 EmmaJayne, you will have to post lots of details about your DL wedding. I wanted to do one really bad, but we were having a small wedding and it was out of our budget. Are you going to wear one of the princess-inspired dresses that they have now?
Originally Posted By tashajilek I wanted a Dl wedding too! the wedding i would want at DL would cost about 100,000 hahaha so im doing Vegas instead and then DL trip right after. I find the best way not to be depressed is to always have another trip in the future.
Originally Posted By Schmitty Good Vibes >>>I find the best way not to be depressed is to always have another trip in the future.<<< This past monday morning I returned from 3+ days at DL. It was one of the best trips ever (trip report coming this weekend). I was darn near glowing the last couple of days. The only thing that is holding back the PDLS is that I already have flight tickets and HoJo's reservations in hand for a LOOOOOONNNGG visit in 48 days! When that's done I'm planning a trip with son and grandson around April. I will survive!
Originally Posted By Sparrow I feel your pain, Schmitty! Stay strong! We went last Saturday and had an awesome day. Didn't plan on going back again until 10/1 (our passes expire 9/11). I decided I can't make it that long. I'm forcing the bf to do one more trip Labor Day weekend. What with the semi-light, local AP blocked crowds Memorial Day and July 4th weekend, I'm thinking it should be fun.
Originally Posted By JenniBarra I hear ya all on the DL blues... Despite hiccups during the D23 Expo portion of our recent DLR trip, the blues kicked in last Thursday or so. I think it's been more challenging because I went through several years where I was able to visit two or three times a year, and now it's down to about once a year.
