    Default Do you ever visualize yourself at WDW when your not?

    i was wondering. does anyone else just visualize yourself somewhere at WDW? i do sometimes and I was wondering if this is weird or not? i imagine myself sitting on a bench in front of the castle at the MK with a funnel cake from the sleepy hollow watching wishes and then watching the spectromagic parade. when i first saw these two things, when I was actually there, i got goosebumps. these are 2 of my favorite things at WDW. i guess im just asking if i am alone in how I visualize myself at WDW or if other people do it.

    yes, i do it all the time. Especially at night when I lay down to go to sleep. I guess I think that maybe if I think about it before going to sleep then I might dream about it! If I can't be there, I'd sure love to be dreaming that I'm there! Lol, I don't know if that makes any sense or not!!

    I don't live too far from Warner Robins!

    Every day!
    I play a lot of park music on my iPod, so I am constantly imagining myself in my very favorite place on earth.

    I think I most often imagine myself in Epcot- in World Showcase enjoying the music in the dusk just before Illuminations, relaxing in a courtyard, enjoying live performers, or just people watching.
    Or on a Friendship floating between Epcot and one of the Epcot Resorts.
    Or on a water mouse on Seven Seas Lagoon- just tooling around under the sunny skies.

    I can't imagine a day without WDW on my mind!

    I am so glad I am not the only one. Everyday I check my INTERCOT for exciting new news. Then I try and put together my next trip. Everyone in my family thinks I am nuts. Some will not talk about it. Some have been putting a trip together for Scotland and I tried to do one for Paris disney. Crazy maybe but Disney is were I feel like I do not have to act like the mother but a friend.
    Walt will always be my HERO.

    Same here - only have a shuffle - so I have about 200 Disney related songs on there! Have room for 50 more.

    I particularly day dream when I walk.

    Today its 60 days to our next trip, and during our walk (I brought the nephews with me), we each fantasized where we'd thought we'd be 60 days from then.

    You are not alone at all. I think many of us visualize ourselves there often. I dream of a world where everyday I am in the World. Maybe someday that will happen.

    When I have a bad day, I have trouble going to sleep. I put myself on Main Street and it makes me very calm and happy. I can actually recapture the feeling of walking under the railroad and coming out on the other side to see the castle. I can walk down the street and see every store. It is a great place to go, even if it is just in my head

    I do it at least once a day. (I know, I'm lame.) I'll sometimes put on some park music, close my eyes, and image that I'm there. Or I'll look at some pictures or our vacation video to bring back the great memories. At work, I'll think of our upcoming trip, and our memories from last time.

    Disney is always on my mind, it is my "happy place". Everyone should have a happy place... something to think about when you are stressed or having a bad day. I just picture myself on spaceship earth, or on the TTA... something relaxing.
    It helps that I have a Disney license plate and a Mickey decal on my car. Every time I go somewhere I have to think about Disney!

    Oh my.

    Once we got the "Go" for planning the next trip, I dream about it all the time!

    I have had Disney Park music CD's since a LONG time ago. I am now listening to Disney music on live365 and I always picture myself wherever the music is from...

    I'm getting a new camera this week...

    Is it bad that the first thing I thought about was... "Oh.. a fireworks mode... WISHES!"

    OMG I do the EXACT same thing! haha... and every once in a while I get the music to parades in my head and then pretend that i'm sitting there watching them and dancing to the music.

    I comes more hourly than daily but I love playing the music on my Ipod its GREAT! and i'm excited to go down there in 24 Days!

    I do it all the time. In our family, we call them "Disney moments". Sometimes they come spontaneously, sparked by just about anything......a scent, something we're eating, a song.........and we're transported there. And sometimes, we do it intentionally. When that's the case, some of my favorite spots to visualize are Main Street, International Gateway and AKL.

    Yep. Everyday almost! It gives me a little lift thinking about going back. I have to keep my thoughts in check tho. Talking about it too much makes others think I'm crazy! I also wear a different pair of Mickey shaped earrings every day, It helps me feel connected to the happiest place on earth!

    Yes. I'm there right now, actually.

    I do it mostly when I'm getting really stressed, bored, or just need to escape reality. Unfortunately that's all too often.
