Well I hate to say it but I have not been on these boards since before I left - Sept 2004 - and it was the old boards (then I used to have loadsa posts!) but now I'm a wee newbie! Anyway just a big shout-out to all those that, like me, worked on the ICP Sept 2004 through til 2005, or anyone during that same time frame! It is too weird to be home - have only been here since early October (I hung out at Disney a bit longer) but still finding it very hard... Anyone got any ideas how to get out the Post-Disney Blues? I'd love to go back and do it all again, but I really mainly miss the people (and the parks) - couldn't live in the commons another year that's for sure!!! lol Hope you're all well!!! Fee xoxo
Fee!! How's it going?? It sucks coming back home, doesn't it? Even if you think you're ready to leave you come home and realise just how much fun you were having! I'm so BORED! I too miss the people like mad! My advice: find Disney people who live near you (if possible...) to reminisce with. No matter how hard you try there are some things the non-Disney *Muggles* will never comprehend so us crazy IPers have to stick together! If you still miss it then start imagining that every person you meet today is a *dumb* guest asking you annoying/ignorant questions about your country or -- in my case at least -- pointing out that I must not be a real Canadian because I don't finish every sentence with "...eh?" And sacrifice like a half-hour of precious sleep in the morning to compensate for Dynamic's Vista Layover/random bus break-downs on the way to work. THEN you won't miss it quite so badly! ~*~Linda~*~
OMG, I haven't been on here in forever! but hi guys (even tho I spoke to you earlier Fee!) Fee, you weren't on the ICP - that's the brits that come over for summer for uni....you were just IP....or have you been away so long you've forgotten already!?!? back in 5 days! yayness! Hi Linda...hope you're doing ok back at home...looked at Tracy's msn space a while ago and saw some pics on there of when you met up.....looked like you're doing well!! Only 3months til I'm back now! x x x x
ok so I've been back just over a year now (came back Sept 2004) and Im still suffering occassionally. Weird to think two years ago - two years yesterday to be precise - I was working in the Rose & Crown for my first service shift. Now I'm back in the freezing cold with a stinking cold and all I can think about is going back. Going on hols for 10 days in May but Im still graving being over there so I don't think they really go away I think you just get used to it all. Still at least it means we'll never forget the experience.
I left in june after an extended 15 month prog.and went to england to work. Im from south africa and I was fine till i came home. seein my family again was sweet but I miss my mates in commons,vista and chattem'up.
I was an ICP summer 05 as an ICP u really are the scum at the bottom of the disney pond but u no what there isnt a night i dont fall asleep thinking of disney even all the bad stuff are fond memories! I have made so many friends in my three months away some are on the other side of the world and some so close by its weird to think i had to travel to the other side of the world to meet them. god i miss it! jo xx
Jo, Tell me about it. Nothing ever quite meets the experience there, nothing at all. I'm still slightly annoyed with the silly policy of not letting us do ICP twice!! I thought it was a visa thing, turns out it's justy Disney-policy. Pah. Memories, at least, never fade! A
there isn't a day that goes by where i dont think about disney, and what happened. i was only there for the best part of 3 months but it seemed to last for ages. i dont miss working in disney, i miss the people, going into the parks and living in florida. also my car!! i try and think of the positive things here in england, but there isnt anything positive to think about! id love to be back in florida.......
I miss it so much!! Much more than I ever thought I would. My friends here are so tired of me talking about it. They just don't understand. I went back for a visit with a friend and it just wasn't the same... having to explain everything to her. I can't believe I've been back almost 2 years!! March 11 will be 2 years 3 of us that worked together are going back in May for a visit. I can't wait!!! Diana
