Our family does the same exact thing - in April we will return for our 7th trip. We begin planning the next trip the day we get home. We know every restaurant we will eat at - favorites are Tango, Blossoms, Sunset Grille and Cafe Japengo. We love to reminisce about favorite rituals( ie lunch and bingo by the pool and cocktails before dinner in the lobby). Although i cannot check out this forum until we get close to departure - it is too depressing knowing what we are missing out on. I get too jealous of people who will be going when i have to wait 10 months to return.

My daughter who is 8 is just as hooked - she will not hear of going anywhere else for vacation - she chooses Aruba over Disney world everytime.

Well we depart in 31 days and i have already started organizing the kids clothes - going shopping tomorrow for new bathing suits and will be ready to pack our bags!!
