10. Looking Through Photos –

One of the best ways to remember all of the magical moments from a Walt Disney World vacation is to take tons of photos. When guests return home from a Disney vacation, one of the first things they do to combat withdrawal is look at their photos from the trip. Guests can edit photos, post them on social media, and just browse them at any time to bring up specific memories from the trip and feel as though they are back in the parks for a moment.

9. Watching Videos –

One way that many guests deal with Disney withdrawal is by going on Youtube and watching videos of the parks or resorts. Guests can find anything from walkthroughs of each park to videos shot front the front row of any attraction. By watching different Walt Disney World videos, guests can live vicariously and pretend that they are back in the parks.

8. Reading Articles –

Disney guests who are experiencing withdrawal often times find themselves reading articles all about Walt Disney World, just like you are doing now! With so many websites out there focusing on travel tips, park history, Disney photography, and so much more, guests are sure to find several sites that they love and can frequently visit.

7. Listening To Park Music –

Guests who are going through Disney withdrawal often turn to music to make them feel as though they are on vacation again. Official albums are sold in the parks and include music from attractions as well as nightly events like Wishes Nighttime Spectacular and Illuminations: Reflections of Earth. Guests can also look online and find background music loops, music from attractions, and even special event music. No matter what the Disney music is, it always transports guests back to their magical vacations.

6. Listening To Podcasts –

In addition to Disney music, there is a plethora of Disney podcasts that are accessible to all guests who are experiencing Disney withdrawal. Podcasts can easily be found both online and on iTunes and include Disney history lessons, park discussions, and travel tips.
