What are Disney Withdrawals?
For us, our symptoms began after our recent trip to Walt Disney World for a convention called
Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. From the moment we returned home we noticed difficulty adjusting back into our daily routine. Since we believe awareness is key here, we would like to share with you, our readers a glimpse into our lives as we experienced
"The Secret Side Effects of Disney (no one ever talks about)."

The first completely unexpected side effect was the need to set date for our next trip back to Disney before we even unpacked or started the 27 loads of vacation laundry.

We had the inability to focus on anything other than Disney.
We shared story after story of every single magical moment from our trip with friends, neighbors

and yes, even a handful of perfect strangers.
There was LOTS of whining and crying. Our kids were sad too.
Our family kept asking for desserts shaped like Mickey Mouse.
We spent many late nights on Twitter searching the #DisneySMMoms Hashtag and @DisneySMMoms.
Posts and Posts and Posts of DisneySMMoms coverage swirling in our head, not to mention wishing every conference was hosted by Disney.
And probably the most embarrasing,
Our endless searching for the "Fast Pass" kiosks everywhere we went like the post office, super market and especially the DMV.

Thank you to everyone we met, for being part of very first Disney Social Media Moms Celebration and to everyone who worked to hard at making our trip magical, it was a Dream Come True!
Full Disclosure: We were invited to the Disney Social Media Moms Celebration. Walt Disney World offered a special discounted rate for all attendees and their families. This is a once in a lifetime experience and we are grateful to Disney for allowing us to participate. We'll be sharing unique things seen and heard throughout the Celebration. Please keep in mind these our own personal thoughts and opinions, not those of the Walt Disney Company.
I am sad as well ladies!
ReplyDeleteHi Mitch! Thanks for your comment! We had such a blast! Hard to come back to reality after all of that DISNEY AWESOMENESS!
DeleteSo glad to have met you all! It was a short weekend trip for us but we felt totally refreshed just to get away. I miss the parks!! We rode Tower of Terror 3 times and Lily kept asking me "mommy, why is daddy screaming so loudly?" She loved it!
ReplyDeleteHey Alex! Thanks for the comment! We are so happy that we met you too! That much more fun bonding over all of that Disney Magic! xo
DeleteSo thrilled to have met you when we first arrived at Disney. Once we got home it hit me when there was no Laundry FastPass waiting to do my laundry, no Mousekeeping leaving towel animals, and no driver to take me near and far.
ReplyDeleteHi Beth! Thanks for commenting and sharing the love for this post! It was lovely to have met you and your family right from the start! Oh how we miss those Mickey Shaped towels on our Beds!
DeleteHA! You two are so cute and funny! :-) I wish I was still there myself!
ReplyDeleteHi Maricris! So glad you got a kick out of this post! Thanks for commenting! We are still in a #DisneySMMoms COMA... but actually, that's the way we like it! lol
DeleteYes, we are suffering these symptoms as well. I'm ready to pack up and head back down again (if only in my dreams for now). It was great meeting you there and we'll share those fun memories of #DisneySMMoms for years to come. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Maria! It was a pleasure meeting you too! So happy to share the #DisneySMMoms Memories with you and so many wonderful bloggers! Thanks for your comment!
DeleteWe are having serious withdrawal symptoms.... I miss bloggers, Disney cast members, the Parks, Mickey, Minnie, princesses... I keep waving my daughter's Cinderella Table wand and holding her Wishing Star, but it's not working... yet! "I believe, I believe, I believe...."
ReplyDeleteHi Kelly! Everything about the #DisneySMMoms was just amazing wasn't it? It's sure hard to come home and go back to normal after that! At least we all have each other to get us through!!! :) Thanks for your comment! We Believe!!! We Believe!!! :)
DeleteWhy didn't anyone warn me about this before I went. I am still going through withdrawl. Guess there was really no point in warning me though, I wouldn't have missed it for the world. :-)
ReplyDeleteOur sentiments EXACTLY Nanette!!! lol. Thanks for your comment! :)
DeleteI am in the throes of post DSMM Depression! Very cute post :). Was great meeting you girls (& sitting at your table Becky!)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind comment Bay! We love the information you shared on your blog about the new Fantasyland coming soon to Magic Kingdom. We had an incredible time, thanks for being part of our memories!
DeleteLove this post! It was so great to meet you ladies!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the love Ashley! We are really excited for you coming to Disneyland to see Cars Land. Hopefully we'll have a minute to see each other. Talk to you soon, Jessica and Becky
DeleteThere was no line of people cheering for me when I entered the bank and they certainly didn't have a full tray of rum drinks! Nice meeting you both!
ReplyDeleteRight?!? I mean, what happened there???? We love meeting you for our quick time together and hope that we'll see each other again soon, being on the same coast, it shouldn't be too hard. DisneySMMoms hugs to you!
DeleteOh now, this IS special, you got both sisters commenting back to ya at almost the exact same time without knowing it, that's VIP treatment all the way!!! Do you feel the love Melanie??? LOL
DeleteOMG! LOL!!!! Good point Melanie, how could we have left out the line of people cheering & clapping for us at Art of Animation? Getting the RockStar treatment is definitely something that we could get used too! So awesome finally meeting you at the carnival section of Dinoland! Hope to see you soon! Thx for the comment!
