Especially when you have to get up early the day after you return and have to work :shock: :(

Couldn't agree more - coming down from the WDW high is the worst! It's a deep depression that lasts for days (if not a few weeks). You know, when you're sitting at work and you think, this time last week I was at DAK. Later that day: I was eating at Tusker House this time last week. [Yes, it comes back to food for me. :) ]

I just am always surprised at how quickly it seems like you never had a vacation at all. The stress of work descends like a blanket and it's like you never left...sigh...

We just love Disney and I believe alot of the good is giving you something to look forward. For us, it's helps on bad days to think, "In 3 months, I'll be back at Disney." or whatever is your particular time frame. The other part of Disney I love is just being Daddy. When I'm home I have 4 or 5 things pulling me in 4 or 5 directions but at Disney...I'm just Daddy. :D

I love it! That's exactly the feeling that you get. At Disney you're not stressing about finances, fighting over the daily non-important crap, etc... It's just Daddy, take me on Pooh! I want to ride with Daddy! No better feeling than that.

The walking is good...but it depends on how much food you end up eating and whether you drink more pop than normal whether it all washes out in the end. It certainly is good for mental health :D


Amy; Once again you hit the nail right on the head. Good for mental Health :D :D :D

Wow ~ two and a half weeks is a great amount of time! Did you take any tours while you were there?
