For a long time I did have that view of heaven where we're basically ghosts/disembodied spirts living in some sort of dimension that is radically different from what we see on earth. It wasn't until I was well into adulthood when I learned that the traditional Christian of heaven is more more "fleshy" than what I had thought it would be. It just shows that ultimately a lot of our views on these theological matters tend to be shaped by what we see in popular media rather than actual doctrine.

I'd say this view of heaven is correct. You won't receive the glorified body until the final resurrection. What often goes underemphasized these days is that heaven is not the final resting place, the New Jerusalem is, where we will indeed have glorified bodies.
