Top 10 Signs You Are Addicted to Disney aka You Know You Need Help When...

[momtobrynncess]

Let me preface this by saying that all of these accurately describe me. I have barely been back one month, having stayed for 10 glorious days at Poly, and I literally cannot wait to go back. I spend far too much time thinking, dreaming about being there, and how I can find a way to get back before the end of 2009. Some of the "top ten" are just silly and not serious, but see if you can find some that apply to you. And feel free to add your own. I'd love to hear some that I did not think of myself!

1) You have a dream that you went there (without your family??!!)
2) You try to find a way to talk your spouse into spending your Christmas bonus check or income tax check on a vacation, even though you know the money needs to go to bills or some other important thing.
3) You check religiously everyday here on Disboards/Disney.com for new discounts (I know about the 4/3 one already).
4) You repeatedly watch the Travel Channel's Disney shows, no matter how many times you have already seen them.
5) Your head spins around 360 degrees when you hear the magical music of the Disney commercial come on the television.
6) You find yourself scheming with your five year old to find a way to convince your spouse that once a year just isn't enough.
7) You keep looking at the roof that needs replacing, thinking, it can last another year, right?
8) Your spouse agrees to do the Disney Cruise, and you're wondering how you can parlay that into a land/sea vacation.
9) You look on the Disboards to see if there is anyone else posting their addictions, hoping there is someone else out there who is as obsessed as you.
10) You spend every waking moment, thinking about, reminiscing, and wishing you were there, to the point that it takes up far too much time in your day. AND you start thinking about moving there, and trying to get a job at Disney.

Speaking of which, and this is for the Cast Members who may be reading about my sickness: Does it take away any of the magic when you work there? Would it be any less magical if I could go there everyday? Which is what I dream of? But would I love Disney less if I worked there?

Thanks to all for listening! If you are as obsessed as me, please add to the "Top Ten"!

[Camno's Mama]

11. You talk about moving there...even though you LOVE the four seasons you get to experience in your hometown where all of your family and friends live. And your husband can't stand it when it's warmer than 75 degrees.

12. You feel a slight disappointment when you book because that means you have to stop obsessing about that part of your trip.

13. Your friends and family consider you their "free" Disney travel agent.

[Salome]

Wow I'm really not alone...

I was just thinking today if there was any help for "disneyholic"...

I am too just been back a month from my Disney "pelerinage", 1 day BC, 10 days POR, 3 days Disney Vero Beach, 7 nights disney cruise, and a little stop at Disney HHI ont the way back home...and I thougth after that I'm fine for a while....and here I am, thinking night and day about how to convince my husband to go back this winter with the new super deal 4/3...:guilty:

And yesterday I was looking for any RN jobs ont the disney site...

so yes, I guess I understand you...

[mickeystoontown]

You are definitely not alone. I recently posted a thread that was entitled something like "I must have had a fever". We actually thought about going somewhere else in 2009. :lmao: But, it went away after 24 hours. I was so feverous I must have been out of my mind!

I have Disney World on the brain at all times. I am constantly thinking about our next trip. My family started planning our 2009 trip while we were still in Walt Disney World in August, 2008!

I have a Disney box in the corner of our spare bedroom. I am always putting little things in the box for our next trip.

I buy things off the www.disneyoutlet.com website. I just purchased t-shirts for next year. Only....$4.99 each so you can't beat that.

I took advantage of the buy 4/get 3 free promo. Saved $300.00 and now I'm thinking what's something special we can do with that $300.00 when we are in Disney next May.

We will be celebrating our son's 12th birthday and our 25th wedding anniversary while we are in Disney World, 2009. I can think of absolutely no better place than Disney World to celebrate two such special occasions!

[spiceycat]

boy you are not alone by alot.

look at my posts now I couldn't have gotten that many with out a BIG problem.....

[WDWMaiselFamilyWDW]

12. You feel a slight disappointment when you book because that means you have to stop obsessing about that part of your trip.



That one is right on the money! How about:

13. You book your "perfect" resort, then second-guess yourself for several sleepless nights because you're not sure you made the right choice. (This is so me right now...just changed my January resort for the 3rd time today...):scared1:

and

14. You occasionally hop onto Disney's site and price vacations, even when you're not really planning a trip.

and

15. You occasionally price airfare to Orlando in the hopes of finding a really low fare that would be reason enough for another trip to WDW.

You are soooo not alone...it is a sickness! But one I enjoy! :rotfl:

[LivingtheWDWdream]

10) You spend every waking moment, thinking about, reminiscing, and wishing you were there, to the point that it takes up far too much time in your day. AND you start thinking about moving there, and trying to get a job at Disney.

Thanks to all for listening! If you are as obsessed as me, please add to the "Top Ten"!

First... I did # 10 I thought about, and wished so much that I now have a Florida License and Orlando Address to prove it! I moved in Sept 20 2008 and spent most of the last month or so in one of the parks :lmao:

In terms of working for Disney I did the college program in 2001 and I had a blast but I saw things that I will remember forever that do take away from some of the magic of it all but for the most part I had fun and it was fine!

Right now wdw is fully staffed and I am on a waiting list to try and get back into WDW. So if i get back in it will be a different role so not sure if it will change my response.

Oh and I love living in Orlando, its November 10th and its 80º outside today where as CT where I moved from is MUCH colder so Thank you Walt for making me get addicted and forcing me to move here :lmao: no more snow!

[kadesha]

Everything you all have listed describes me! I was thinking I was crazy all this time, at least I'm not alone!!!

[lilybrooke14]

Ummmm....yeah.

*Cough* DH just applied to 4 jobs at Disney last week. He's been hunting for jobs for the last several months, and I (as his personal headhunter) have been throwing more than a few Orlando jobs his way. It's so cold here, and I was actually in a foul mood for several days this week, just because I knew it was warmer in Orlando. I have this whole fantasy (and lists to back it up) that DH gets hired, we move down (and skip the coldest part of the winter), and manage to spend DD's 3rd birthday in the World (BBB, Cindy's Castle meal, magic, fireworks...etc.) I need a hobby.:sad2:

We got back on October 25, and we're not planning on going back until January 2011 (:sad1: ). I want to stay at the Poly in a Magic Kingdom view room, and that's the only way we can afford it. I tried to talk DH into taking advantage of the 4/3 discount, and he didn't even say no. He just laughed at me. (He will be paying for that someday.:rolleyes1 ). Even our Christmas presents are Disney! One of DD's presents is the Cinderella Castle, I asked for a Mickey Waffler (the one on Disney Shopping is SO COOL!), and DH and I are both getting some Mickey Mammoth Crocs (his are red and black, mine are pink and brown....that is...if they ever get our sizes back in stock).

So, yeah. It's an illness. Is it silly to buy a new Passporter when I'm not even going in 2009?

[psindone]

You are not alone. I am a DVC member and try to plan our trips every 3 months. A quick weekend in January, I tell my husband it's better than buying each other christmas gifts, A nice long week in April/May, and of course we need to be there for another quick trip for the 4th of July, I love the fireworks. Our main trip is a little longer in October. I'm ok when we are leaving disney because I know it won't be long until we go back. And between trips I am on this board! So I guess I'm just as hooked as everyone here.........:confused3

[DznyDreamz]

Were you describing me in the OP??? I guess admitting you have a problem is the first step in recovery??

Here is one for the list:

#?? - You start getting depressed BEFORE you leave for your vacation knowing that the trip will be over before you know it.

#?? - You scheme to get your DH down to Orlando without your DD for a "long weekend" to find out more about DVC (that long weekend turning into an entire week and several thousand thanks to the 4/3 deal)

[justjudy]

[QUOTE=WDWMaiselFamilyWDW;28646611]

15. You occasionally price airfare to Orlando in the hopes of finding a really low fare that would be reason enough for another trip to WDW.

QUOTE]

OR you rebook your flight and save $$ on airfare for your upcoming trip, so of course you HAVE to book another trip. After all, it would be wasteful to let those credits expire!:thumbsup2

Even car license plates remind you of Disney. I've seen DTD and AKV and the first thing that jumps into my mind is "Downtown Disney" or "Animal Kingdom Villas." I know, I'm not well!:rolleyes:

[Shmily1]

It's scary how well you have described me!!! All of the above describe me!! DH can retire in January and I have many years to go before I can retire. I had said I would work at WDW when I retired but now I think of how I can do it when he retires!!!

I've only been 6 times this year and am planning my December (for Christmas) and January (for my birthday) trips now!!!

[justplaingoofy]

You end your conversations with "have a magial day" :wizard:

[snow.white]

#16.You enter every disney related sweepstakes everyday hoping you will be the grand prize winner!

[hopelea]

I am 41 years old and I am so excited for our upcoming trips.....I dance around the house.....singing, "I'm going to Disney in 9 days!":banana: My kids think I am crazy. I have planned what I am wearing according to what park I will be in.....

Bought dd a christmas shirt that has a green christmas wreath on it in the shape of a peace sign....I told her it would be a lot cuter if it was shaped like a mickey head!!

My oldest dd sees mickey heads every where.....she found one in the green pepper we were cutting!!

Yes, I am addicted and I love every minute of it. :cloud9: :love:

[sms]

17. you make being a "disney lover" a requirement when dating!:rotfl2:

[MariaEllerºoº]

#17. You try talking your spouse into moving to Orlando so you can go to Disney every day and actually take vacations to other destinations. I keep getting told there are other places that I need to visit...I don't believe them.

#18. You become extremely Grumpy if you don't get to Disney at least once a year.

#19. You find out one of your co-workers, friends or part of the family is going to Disney and you bawl like a baby because you aren't going with them.

#20. You find out one of your co-workers, friends or part of the family is going to Disney so you find a way to get back to Disney yourself before the date you actually selected.

#21. You make your brother who was a CM give you his memento's of working there so you can live vicariously through him.

#22. Your brother who lives there goes to Disney every day and has to call while he's on an attraction to rub it in as you listen to the music of Disney in the background.



Yep, you're not alone!!

[skipperkim]

Let me preface this by saying that all of these accurately describe me. I have barely been back one month, having stayed for 10 glorious days at Poly, and I literally cannot wait to go back.

Thanks to all for listening! If you are as obsessed as me, please add to the "Top Ten"!

First, eyes on your own paper. :lol: BTDT, got several tshirts.

??? You have so many WDW that you could go a month without seeing the same one twice. (I actually got voted best tshirt on the 4th of July. The "I'm with Beast" thsirt. I had a friend make DBF a beast tshirt.)

[DznyDreamz]

#19. You find out one of your co-workers, friends or part of the family is going to Disney and you bawl like a baby because you aren't going with them.

#20. You find out one of your co-workers, friends or part of the family is going to Disney so you find a way to get back to Disney yourself before the date you actually selected.



OMG...these are SO me!!

[michelleiada]

Yup, I'm guilty too! How about: you try to convince all of your friends and family to go on vacation at the same time so that they can experience the magic with you! I wish I could convince my husband to buy into DVC!!! Knowing that I have a trip booked keeps me happy on a daily basis. If I know I'm going.....I'm happy! It doens't matter how many times I've been...I CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH!:love:

[momtobrynncess]

OMG!!! Thank you! I know there are plenty of loyal and faithful Disney lovers out there (thus this website), but I have often wondered if anyone was as bad as I am. :scared1: Just the constant thinking and re-living of Disney moments - it's like an all day thing!!:sick:

The one about your friends thinking you are their free Disney travel agent is perfect! I helped a co-worker out with his first Disney trip a few years ago, and now he goes twice a year! Look what I have created!:scared:

Thanks to all who have made me feel better, and have made me feel not alone! It sure helps!!:hug:

Keep the Top Ten list going!!!

[AUDramaQueen]

Then when you realize you are not only addicted to Disney, but addicted to the DIS boards as well come on over to the thread where we discuss that addiction ;)

OMG! I am obsessed with the DisBoards (http://www.disboards.com/showthread.php?t=1364550)

[kaffinito]

You end your conversations with "have a magial day" :wizard:

:lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

Way too funny!!!!

(And too true :rolleyes1 )

[memphismovin]

Love this thread!! We've been laughing like crazy in my house but I have a few to add...

# You know the exact slice of pavement where you can see the fireworks/parade and have actually claimed it as YOUR spot and declare it as such to anyone you know planning a trip like a top CIA secret. Shhh! I can't tell you mine...lol

# YOU can guide the Disney reservations staff through any problems booking your trip because in most cases you have more "training" than them.

# When you call Disney, they chuckle before rattling off the standard "I see you've stayed with us "X" number of times" because of how high the number is.

# You begin counting your total lifetime days spent on property in months if not years.

# Your family refers to your touring plans as the "death march" yet insists that you are the one who should plan.

[marielynn724]

here is another one to add to the list:

your (my) entire wedding plans revolve around your disney world honeymoon ie when is the best time to go the parks (not, when is my church available, when can i get off from work, etc) or how i should cut my hair to look good with minnie mouse bride ears?

[marielynn724]

you secretly hate other people who went to disney world without you and harass them to let you see their vacation pictures and make them give you detailed reviews of every single thing they did/ate/saw

[karen l]

I listen to Disney cds playing in the car. Right now I have Lou's guides to Main St & Adventureland playing - it's great to dream that I'm on my way to WDW instead of to work.

I'm going crazy waiting for my copy of Celebrations mag to come so I can have new pictures and articles to enjoy.

Like my fellow Disers, I spend alot of time on the boards :surfweb: when I should be doing housework.

I continue to buy guidebooks even though I don't really need them.

[thumperjr9]

I feel better to know I'm not the only one sooooo obsessed!

Today my DS21 said "After I get my teaching degree maybe I will move to Florida, I heard there are lots of teaching jobs in Florida." So, the 1st thing that comes to mind is Yes!!! Make it the Orlando area then I have an excuse to go to WDW more often. Of course after I thought about it for awhile, I thought... oh no I don't want my "baby" moving so far away.:hug:

[SummerGirl]

I'm so glad I'm not the only one!! They sound just like me!

My DH just doesn't understand, but he should, his addiction isn't Disney, but rather Oklahoma Sooner football. He plans trips to the games, contemplates BCS rankings, Spring Training--you would think he's a recruiting agent b/c he's constantly scouting. So, I guess what I'm saying is, everyone has a little obsessive compulsive behavior, ours is just Disney!! :goodvibes

[AllSaints]

* YOu plot and plan all of your ADR's, have a special list for them, make changes, reconfigurate..

*You find clips of Disney music on Youtube and dance in your computer chair

[pixistix]

We must all be related!
We too took advantage of the 4/3 promo and were actually not planning to go to Disney in 2009. However, my kids point out "mom, you always say we're not going and then we always end up going anyway." (well, they're not going this trip so I'm not telling them till I absolutely have to).
The whole moving to Orlando plan has been in our future plan for a while now. Youngest DD is in high school, we say we're moving once she graduates. Hope we can hold off that long. The newspaper where DH and I both work had second round of layoffs yesterday! :scared1: And since newspapers are kind of like dinosaurs anymore, we both realize we may have to hunt for new careers. That realization has launched our plan to either work for Disney or somewhere in Orlando so we can spend our weekends in the parks!:woohoo:

[BlueSkies]

What a great thread!!! So nice to see that there are other people that are just as obsessed...:rotfl:

#you order a vacation planning DVD EVERY YEAR...(even though you know enough to make your own...)

[SplashMtnCrew]

This thread is so great!
Here's one we have to list:

# After sending the last kid off to college you and your DH plan on buying a Harley to ride on all trips to WDW, that way none of the children can tag along! :rotfl:

[kimis]

I love this. I am not crazy!!!! My family thinks I am but I am not crazy!!! How about these.....
*****you find a way to bring disney into every conversation you have with
everyone that will talk to you
*****you dream up jobs at disney for your entire family so you all can move
to the happiest place on earth

[paper1225]

I am truly glad that I am not alone!!! I have always guessed I was a little "odd", but it was proven last week! Went to a DH's business dinner with salesmen from out of state. There were about 15 people at the table when one said-congrats, I hear you have great news! My response-yeah we are going to Disney the first week of Feb...........then he came back with-no, I was talking about Nursing school, heard you just graduated........:rotfl2: me: oh yeah, 2 weeks ago.........2 weeks ago it was a big deal, now all I can think about is Disney.....now trying to plan when to take boards, have so much going on-Thanksgiving, Christmas, Disney trip(leave 1/30), hhhmmm with all this planning, when can I study!!!

[Tigger1966]

I just hope they never find a cure.

18. You try talking your spouse into moving to Orlando so you can go to Disney every day and actually take vacations to other destinations. I keep getting told there are other places that I need to visit...I don't believe them.

She can't fool me.

[wezee]

Yes, I am also addicted to WDW and to the DisBoards.......

...When DH calls my cell phone...it plays the Mickey Mouse Club theme song!

....When my son calls my cell phone it play Goofy's voice!

...At work I have the Disboards constantly downsized on my computer.

...When my DH wanted to buy some land, at home in Ohio, I said we can't
because I want to retire to Orlando.

....I called DH this morning and woke him up, (he works 2nd shift) because I
was so excited that I had rec'd my first pin code ever!!

I have heard that the only cure for these addictions, include a 5 step program.....

Step 1...Plan a trip to WDW in the winter!
Step 2...Plan a trip to WDW in the spring!
Step3...Plan a trip to WDW in the fall!
Step 4...Plan a trip to WDW in the summer!
Step 5....Just give up and move to Orlando!!

[shortchange1026]

I too have a problem and I know there isn't a cure! ;) We just got back from a week at the World and I already wish we were back or could go back. Probably won't be able to go for another couple of years :sad1: but Disney is always in my heart! All of these previous posts pertain to me as well! (Dis is always downsized on my computer at work and then I check it when I get home at night on the laptop! :rolleyes1 My DH always said I needed a support group (hello, my name is Vicky, I'm addicted to anything Disney..Hi Vicky, we love you! :lmao: )but after this last trip, I'm bringing him over to the dark side! :rotfl: We had a private dinner at the GL for our anniversary. I've been there before (never stayed, but it would be a dream to be able to someday :cloud9: ) but my DH had never seen it. While waiting for our butler, my DH said to me, we have to figure out a way to save up more money next trip so we can stay here! :lovestruc

[a Really Bad Egg]

...when you watch live streaming video feeds from Disney fan's resort webcams all day...and night!

[scotas]

You have the CRO on your speed dial, or worse, have it memorized!!!

[amaley01]

reason #? :goodvibes when your DD6 is writing out her "wish" list for our Disney vacation with pictures :3dglasses and not her letter to santa :santa:

[tink0283]

well i am happy to see that other people are like me. i love everything about the planning process for a disney trip...everyone i know says i should quit my job and become a disney vacation planner...if disney comes up in conversation, i spend forever talking about how great it is.
i am going to disney next month and my bf told me he thought i was crazy cause i have planned out which parks we are visiting each day and i made adr before we even booked so that we could get into certain restaurants. but knowing all there is to do there, i almost have to plan out our days so that we don't waste time and so that we are able to travel to our dining reservations and so that we see some of each park...
again, feel much better knowing others are like me too!

[ugadog68]

#? You buy a Brinbaum Guide - Every year. Knowing only one or two changes have been made and you already know those changes anyway:confused3
#? You carry above-mentioned book everywhere you go:lmao:

[ADisneyQueen]

** After a night of tossing and turning, you get up at 5 AM, even though the new Disney discount is rumored to be released at 5 PM!

[WDWCastMember]

:goodvibes :love: Its always a magical day for me at WDW no matter if I'm on the schedule, taking my friends around as 'their unofficial WDW tour guide' or just hanging out at the parks and wandering and enjoying the day!

:wizard: Let me preface this by saying that all of these accurately describe me. I have barely been back one month, having stayed for 10 glorious days at Poly, and I literally cannot wait to go back.

I am 41 years old and I am so excited for our upcoming trips.....I dance around the house.....singing, "I'm going to Disney in 9 days!":banana: My kids think I am crazy. I have planned what I am wearing according to what park I will be in.....

Bought dd a christmas shirt that has a green christmas wreath on it in the shape of a peace sign....I told her it would be a lot cuter if it was shaped like a mickey head!!

My oldest dd sees mickey heads every where.....she found one in the green pepper we were cutting!!

Yes, I am addicted and I love every minute of it. :cloud9: :love:

This is me too! I was dancing yesterday & hurt my back!

Hi, my name is Alicia & I'm a Disneyholic-but I'm HAPPY that way! 25.5 more Days!!!:banana: :banana: :banana: :banana: :banana:

[DisKate]

#? Every time I say "Patrick I want..." to my DBF he responds with "to go to Disney World, I know Kate"

But this is from the man who when he was about 5 asked his mom what he was going to do if his future girlfriend didn't like the mouse? :rotfl2:

#? Every time a co-worker/friend/family member asks what I think about Disney world for a vacation I can almost quote them trip depending on where they want to stay because I've checked the website so often, I can also tell them what months codes/deals tend to come out based upon when they want to go

I love being Disney Crazy

[crazyfordisney2000]

You know you're addicted when you start telling ds 6 and dd 4 that they have to go to Disney college when they grow up so they can get you a discount!!!:lmao: :rotfl2:

[Mickey'sApprentice]

I think I may be addicted, my friends and family keep asking me if DVC has put me on the payroll, or if I just earn a commission.

I talk about DVC a lot, and think EVERYBODY should purchase DVC.

If your curious, its WONDERFUL!!

[tink4ever]

You All Have Described Me To A Tee!! Also Even Though I Promise After Every Trip That "this Will Be The Last One For A While" I Somehow Manage To Plan A Trip To Be In Disney Every Couple Of Months. I Managed To Go 5 Times Just In Late 2007 Until Now And I Just Planned A Trip For Jan. I Am Sooooo Addicted !!!!

[Nicole721]

You have a copy of the Samantha Brown's Favorites Disney special on your iPhone so you can literally watch it anytime, anywhere.

[Mom2tmha]

[QUOTE=Camno's Mama;28645791]11. You talk about moving there...even though you LOVE the four seasons you get to experience in your hometown where all of your family and friends live.

LOL...this is so funny cause we always talk about it!!!! I would be afraid it would take away the 'magic' by living too close though.

[PrincessKara22]

You don't have a disney trip planned but you call with a question anyway just to hear someone say "Have A Magical Day!" at the end of the conversation.


My mom actually does this sometimes!

#??- When the office vacation schedule comes around, and your boss asks you "Which week do you need off for Disney?" instead of "Which week is your vacation?"

#??-You record Finding Nemo on the DVR when it airs on the Disney Channel, even though you have it on DVD and can watch it anytime.

#??-When DH knows not to buy gifts for any holiday/birthday...he just makes resort reservations instead!

BTW are you all watching me from somewhere? #1-?? are all ME TOO!!:scared1: At least we have each other for support!:rotfl2:

[tofubeast]

--When you cry just because one of those darn ads is being aired again.

--When you count Mickey antennas on passing cars.

--When you make your partner cook you pancakes with the mickey cut out so you can pretend you are at a Disney restaurant.

--When you realize Disney has been your last 4 vacations in a row.

[Mom2tmha]

I just told my family (not dh and kids) that we are going to Disney again...and they just can't understand how I could possibly want to go there AGAIN.....there is no other possible place I want to go on vacation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:love:

[portocall]

# when you are doing boring work and Disney resort theme music pops in your head... and from time to time DH and DS will start humming them out of the blue...

yes, I am addicted too... but I don't need help

[Disneyforus]

#? When your toddler is watching "PlayHouse Disney" and you start getting teary eyed. It always brings me right back to "Play and Dine at Hollywood and Vine".

[Camno's Mama]

Hey addicts...

I heard a blip on Access Hollywood that they are doing something behind the scenes at Disney on tomorrow (Thursday) night's show. I'm recording it!

[luvthemouse71]

Wow I'm really not alone...

I was just thinking today if there was any help for "disneyholic"...

I am too just been back a month from my Disney "pelerinage", 1 day BC, 10 days POR, 3 days Disney Vero Beach, 7 nights disney cruise, and a little stop at Disney HHI ont the way back home...and I thougth after that I'm fine for a while....and here I am, thinking night and day about how to convince my husband to go back this winter with the new super deal 4/3...:guilty:

And yesterday I was looking for any RN jobs ont the disney site...

so yes, I guess I understand you...
Ha! I look for RN jobs too! I've even looked to see if any of the Orlando area hospitals are hiring..I've seen quite a few notices in nursing mags, but I'm not sure I'd actually do it at this point in my life...when I'm older, sure. Most of my family is here in New England, and I'm close to my family, so I'll just do my annual trips for now.

[johnsonet]

I just can't read all of them but this one is really cute!!

#? Every time I say "Patrick I want..." to my DBF he responds with "to go to Disney World, I know Kate"




I can add that I've known I'm Disney-obsessed for MANY years, ever since my young daughter (now age 12) started begging me to PLEASE stop talking about Disney so much!! :laughing:

Also, I automatically smile and LOVE owners of cars I pass with WDW stickers/antennae toppers/license plate frames/etc. when I pass them on the road at home ... :car:

# You have a permantly packed Disney vacation bag.

# You carry your annual pass right next to your driver's license at all times.

# You use Disney resort bar soap in your home bathroom just to feel "at home".

# They know you by name at The Disney Store

[disney honeymooners]

#- all of the movies on your Ipod are disney movies
#- you have a playlist on your Ipod that is nothing but songs from Disney movies and shows.
#- you plan your honeymoon for a land and sea trip a year from now but that is too far away so you plan a weekend trip to get a "disney fix"

I have been a disneyholic for many years and it is one habit i never want to kick. All of these posts show me that i am not alone, I just remembered one more you have the disney Scene It 1st and 2nd editions and NO ONE in your family will play them with you b/c you always win. :yay: :banana:

[seadd67]

Hello my name is Bill, and I am a Disney-aholic:rotfl2:. (Sorry ahead of time if I offended any one:). I new I was over the edge when my son asked me If we could movie to orlando,I laughed and told him of course not because we have our home,jobs,familys and Lives here(Seattle,wa),then on the way to work I think more about it:rotfl:, laugh just a little(but I was thinking more about it then I thought I would) this time,and then when I was at work that night I was checking oput the job maeket and the Apts. Oh my I need help:rotfl2:

[disneynuts777]

-I have bought a passporter book every year (even the ones when we did not go)
-friends and relatives let me plan there vacation and do not even ask questions. I get all stressed out over there magical vacation (what if it is not magical enough) and I do not even get to go!!!!
-My Mickey Mouse slippers have worn out:sad2:
-My co-workers think my cheese has slipped off of my cracker.:rotfl:

I thank everyone of you out there who are in the same boat I am in. Welcome to the club!!:woohoo: :woohoo:

[seadd67]

I am on the dis sight daily,at work I use to hide it but now I encourage input from others good or jokenly.
At night as Iam going to sleep I try to think of diffrent attractions to see or how I can see them better.

How I can buy Into the DVC:worship: :worship:
How i can find a job in or around WDW,and convince the DGF(no problem for my DS he will in a second:rotfl2: ) to movie to FL.

[wood145]

Wow I'm really not alone...


And yesterday I was looking for any RN jobs ont the disney site...

so yes, I guess I understand you...

OMG, me too. I keep thinking there has to be some type of RN position in the world!

[DisKate]

I love this! I'm currently going to college for Arts Administration and am trying to figure out how to convince Disney to hire me when I graduate!

[summersalt]

[QUOTE=wezee;28658149]Yes, I am also addicted to WDW and to the DisBoards.......

...When DH calls my cell phone...it plays the Mickey Mouse Club theme song!

....When my son calls my cell phone it play Goofy's voice!

...At work I have the Disboards constantly downsized on my computer.


This is me to a tee! I have all the Disney ring tones and change them often:thumbsup2

[snookiedoodles]

You are looking for a house near Disney....because you want to retire here and become a scuba diver at the park.

Yes they are always looking for scuba people!!!!!:rotfl:

hummmm....I will have a house paid off in 15 years.......can I justify this.....you betcha!!!

[Baltazar]

13. Your friends and family consider you their "free" Disney travel agent.

Boy ain't that the truth, but I love it.

Plus I get grilled by other passengers of the plane on the way to Orlando.

[Otootles]

I'M VERY MUCH AFRAID!

We are going for the very first time in February. So I haven't even been yet and I'm already exhibiting many of the same rituals and behaviors that everyone is describing.....This is HILARIOUS!

[mickeystoontown]

Last night our son came to our bed and said he had had a bad dream. He crawled into bed with us and I told him to think of the very best thing he could think of so the bad dream would go away. Guess what we talked about? Our favorite ride at Walt Disney World. Our favorite snack at Walt Disney World. Our favorite show at Walt Disney World. Etc. Etc. Etc.

Yep, we're addicted!

[tavettava]

I can relate to all of these.
My mom said that for our next vacation we need to go somewhere else, she said (gasp) "that the whole Disney thing is getting old isn't it?". Um nope, we just planned another trip (only been back 2 weeks.) Mom has only been to DTD to eat when her work went down there so she doesn't like it.:scared1:
Dh said we weren't going next year since we went twice this year and what did he book last night. Anyone, Anyone. Yep a trip home in May.:cool1: :wizard: :love: He was all checking out allears and the menu's (he has never looked at them before.)

[seadd67]

LOL :rotfl2: ,we were talking about our trip for 2010!,yes we are there March of this comining year,and here we are already planning for 2010.But we were talking about getting a new car this summer and said well maybe we should just drive to DL Instead(we Live up In the NW) and at the time (just a note my DS did suggest that is it a must to have a car compare to missing out on our annual trip!),and at the time It made sense,but later on I am trying how to do the car and WDW,there must be a way:rotfl2:.I am not worry planning WDW trips Is what I am good at:rotfl: :teacher: yes we are addicted

[Trinity524]

So my husband and I did the bounceback for free dining in Sept. We went with AKL for 6 nights. You know when you are addicted when you look at the 4/3 deal for May and June and think that you absolutely have to figure a way to go then. I mean it just might be against the law not to. You sit at work scheming on how the baby (who is 13 months) just has to go in May because in September his grandmother is going to go and so he needs to go with just Mommy and Daddy.

Then you sit 9 months 1 week a 1 day in advance and refuse to accept phone calls from your mother that don't begin with, We have 9 months 1 week and 1 day until Disney.

[Baltazar]

Buying a condo near Disney World seems like a good idea when we don't own a house here.

[NMW]

yLet me preface this by saying that all of these accurately describe me. I have barely been back one month, having stayed for 10 glorious days at Poly, and I literally cannot wait to go back. I spend far too much time thinking, dreaming about being there, and how I can find a way to get back before the end of 2009. Some of the "top ten" are just silly and not serious, but see if you can find some that apply to you. And feel free to add your own. I'd love to hear some that I did not think of myself!

1) You have a dream that you went there (without your family??!!)
2) You try to find a way to talk your spouse into spending your Christmas bonus check or income tax check on a vacation, even though you know the money needs to go to bills or some other important thing.
3) You check religiously everyday here on Disboards/Disney.com for new discounts (I know about the 4/3 one already).
4) You repeatedly watch the Travel Channel's Disney shows, no matter how many times you have already seen them.
5) Your head spins around 360 degrees when you hear the magical music of the Disney commercial come on the television.
6) You find yourself scheming with your five year old to find a way to convince your spouse that once a year just isn't enough.
7) You keep looking at the roof that needs replacing, thinking, it can last another year, right?
8) Your spouse agrees to do the Disney Cruise, and you're wondering how you can parlay that into a land/sea vacation.
9) You look on the Disboards to see if there is anyone else posting their addictions, hoping there is someone else out there who is as obsessed as ou.
10) You spend every waking moment, thinking about, reminiscing, and wishing you were there, to the point that it takes up far too much time in your day. AND you start thinking about moving there, and trying to get a job at Disney.

Speaking of which, and this is for the Cast Members who may be reading about my sickness: Does it take away any of the magic when you work there? Would it be any less magical if I could go there everyday? Which is what I dream of? But would I love Disney less if I worked there?

Thanks to all for listening! If you are as obsessed as me, please add to the "Top Ten"!

My husband always talks retirement and this is his dream

I hope no one has posted this yet. I didn't have time to read all of the posts- have to get to the grocery store to shop for our Christmas Eve party. But I will read them tonight - I am cracking up!:rotfl:

You know you are addicted when you compare everything in "real life" to the World. Example " I love The Warren's Christmas lights (house professionally outlined in white lights) they are just like World Showcase in EPCOT! Or - I honestly said this - "the pick-up area at my son's high school is just like a Disney resort bus stop!" Or, at a new huge outlet mall - "This is the Disney World of shopping!"

I could go on, but I bet you all do it too! Gotta love the addiction::goodvibes

[ppan77]

You know you're addicted when you have your ds2 watch youtube videos of all the rides so he will be excited to go on them once you get there!

You know your addcited when you are planning trips for friends because you can't go for another 6 months...

looking forward to my April trip !!

On your way to the hospital to see him you utter the words "I hope this doesn't interfere with my upcoming trip to Disney". What a horrid woman I am!!!! :scared1: It wouldn't have been so bad if I just kept the thoughts in my head, but I said it OUT LOUD to my DD7.

[momtobrynncess]

I just hope they never find a cure.

18. You try talking your spouse into moving to Orlando so you can go to Disney every day and actually take vacations to other destinations. I keep getting told there are other places that I need to visit...I don't believe them.

She can't fool me.

There are other vacation destinations besides DisneyWorld?????:rotfl2: I don't believe it either........

[momtobrynncess]

You have a copy of the Samantha Brown's Favorites Disney special on your iPhone so you can literally watch it anytime, anywhere.

:rolleyes1

Ooooooh!!!! Good one!!!!!

[Tigger1966]

MY wife and I were discussing our vacation delema the other day since it looks like Disney in out of the question and she said that she was sure that we could come up with something else that we could afford.
I guess that I am truly addicted because there isn't anyplace else that I want to go spend a week. Any place would be such a letdown and a waste of time and money.
Give me Disney or I will stay home!!!!!

[momtobrynncess]

Okay, so we have two free airline tickets that we need to use before June. Now we usually don't vacation until September/October (free dining), so we thought maybe a Disney Cruise?? Since kids cruise free.....but we really can't afford to do both in one year. So I asked dd5 which she would rather do, and to my surprise, she said she wanted to skip Disney World this year, and just do the Disney Cruise.....:scared1: Who is this child????? So I had to finally break down and tell her, (after having asked her about half a dozen times if she was sure she could skip Disney for a whole year), that I didn't think (I know I can't) go without Disney World for a whole year.....Thankfully, she came to her senses, and said she couldn't either, and we decided to do our usual in September/October.......:woohoo:

Oh! And here's an extra! Someone you know tells you they either are going to, or just came back from, the World....The first question out of your mouth is, "So, where are you staying......?" And they say, "Oh, we're not staying on property...." :eek: Your jaw drops, uncontrollably, and in your mind, it's like they just told you there is no Mickey Mouse......

We never miss the Travel Channel's Disney Shows! I know I will be a retiree working at Disney World. In 2007 we took an Illuminations Cruise (highly recommended) and our boat's captain and his wife were retirees working at DW. She works in the retail shops. They were originally from Montana. He said the magic is still there for both of them. He especially likes it when he meets first time visitors. He can see the twinkle in their eyes.

[wildviper]

When, as the captain's parents, you try to plan the varsity softball team's spring training at the Disney Sports Complex. Hey, you were going there anyway.

[SunnieRN]

#??? Your only child is 24 but even though she grew up 8 hours away from disneyland she had been there 25 times before she turned 18.

#??? You go on your first trip to WDW and buy DVC, then on the way home do a 50 pt add on and before you even go back for another trip you buy 160 pts at another resort.

#??? You can't even make dining reservations for your trip yet, but you already have your dining itinerary planned for your next trip!

#??? Your friends at work ask you EVERYTHING about resorts, restaurants, characters, ride restictions despite the fact that you have been there once and they have been there multiple times.

#??? You have so many trading pins that you can'tfit them in your binders, So they are in boxes!!

Your three year old grandson asks you "Gramma can I invite Mickey to spend the night?"

#???Even though the branch of your bank isn't in the same town you live in, you don't change banks because it is less than 5 miles from a disney outlet store!

Hello, my name is SunnieRN and I am a disneyholic!:love: :cool1: :cheer2:

[SunnieRN]

One more, my grandson just got up and said "can we go see Mickey today?"

[lyndrajo3]

Wildviper,

I guess we will meet ya down there. My DH said on our first trip this past Aug. just after he got off of the boat rode from POR to DTD...

"YEP!! Honey this is what I will do when I retire!" :lmao: I was shocked. This from a man that was not that excited to go in the first place. I relpied.."OH really? Okay then I guess wer're moving to FL in 2040." :rotfl:

I am the same as all of you guys thouhg.


Hi! My name is Melissa and I am a Disneyholic.
I have dreamed of going to Disney since I was a young child (over 30 years now). Now That I have been there finally. I find myslef obsessed with when my next trip will be. Notice below how I have already planned a grad trip for me without the kiddos. Oh and I (with DH) am also planning another kidless trip for F&W 2010 with a few other couples. BUt now that I have this 40% off code I am trying to figure out how to plan (or should I say justify) a kiddo trip for Halloween this year too. :rolleyes: :crazy2: Now I KNOW I am addicted.

[IndyDisneyFan]

OMG I am not alone! I can relate to everything that everyone has posted. We have four cats named Oliver, Nemo, Daisy, and Tigger. We live in Indiana but have annual passes and visited the world 5 times in 2008. I have a Christmas tree just for my disney ornaments, am always planning our next trip (come on March 28!), and I spend way too much time checking airfare and room rates! I don't want to live too close to disney because then I won't have an excuse to stay on property! Yep, I am a disney addict but I can live with that! :rotfl:

Love these posts! How can anyone think this is not normal?

1a. You have a nightmare that you're at Disney, but either don't have enough time to try all the restaurants, or the ones you really want disappear just as you get there.
1b. You have a nightmare that you're at Disney, but run short of time and can only pause by each attraction.
3a. You realize once a day is not often enough to check the DisBoards.
7a A patch job on the roof IS just as good as replacing it.
9a. You wonder why people think what you feel is truly normal is
.........
14a. You regularly hop to Disney's site to price vacations..for the about same dates you currently have reserved, and with little differences here and there.

15a. You regularly price airfare to Orlando even tho you already have your tickets paid for.

105. You try to convince the dog that he doesn't need a walk as much as you need to check the DisBoards.

ok so im not the only one that does this~!

You randomly text your mom and tell her your at such and such meeting place in Disney that you always meet at just so you can have that feeling of really being there!~

Your on this board while your at work (Guilty as charged, but it's ok~!)

Your so broke but are willing to live off of bread and water so you can go back to Disney in May! (Guilty as charged, well I eat more than that but you get my drift!)

Whew! I thought I was losing it! I'm thinking about Disney every day and can't wait to go back down in September. I even started looking for jobs down there! From being on the forums to planning the next trip to already packing for my September trip, we can't wait to go back down! We've already decided that if we ever hit Powerball we're going to live onsite forever!!!!!! I would love to work in Epcot as a cast member helping people, answering questions, etc.. I collect pictures of WDW from those that are posted on the 'net and I bet I've got over 5000 by now! Oh well, maybe we'll hit the lottery this weekend!:thumbsup2

That sounds like a great plan. I definitely plan to work there after I retire, whether I need the money or not. Good luck with the Powerball...

Trying to weazle in on a friends trip one month after your own trip because your convinced they can't possibly show their kids WDW like you can...just slightly addicted.......but loving it! oh yeah I have a few too many guide books also.....

[brockash]

That one is right on the money! How about:

13. You book your "perfect" resort, then second-guess yourself for several sleepless nights because you're not sure you made the right choice. (This is so me right now...just changed my January resort for the 3rd time today...):scared1:

and

14. You occasionally hop onto Disney's site and price vacations, even when you're not really planning a trip.

and

15. You occasionally price airfare to Orlando in the hopes of finding a really low fare that would be reason enough for another trip to WDW.

You are soooo not alone...it is a sickness! But one I enjoy! :rotfl:

Hmmm... occasionally:confused3 it's more like once a week for me:laughing: Oh well, there could be worse obsessions.;)

This soooo sounds like me. I"m constantly worrying about something that could happen to keep us from going to Disney. I tell my kids CONSTANTLY for about a month before we leave that they have to be super super careful not to get hurt, and I tell them they're not allowed to get sick :)

[kkrull]

This will be our first trip to Disney World and ever since we decided to go (only in late Jan), it's all I can think about. Laundry?? Who cares? I've already put together the most type A binder you could imagine and have ready the UG from cover to cover. I'm already an addict and haven't even been there yet. :cool1:

[Bridora]

Ahh, it feels great to be in such good company. Although, I think being on the DIS is only feeding my addiction. Take right now, for instance: I am at work--shhh. I should be getting some info together from QuickBooks, but that would require me to close, or at worst, minimize this screen, and i j.u.s.t. c.a.n.n.o.t. d.o. t.h.a.t. yet. :laughing:

Plus, it only gets worse with each trip.

--to add:

When your extended family has stopped saying "Disney again? Boy, you guys must like that place" And instead just asks when you are going.

you teach everything about Disney to your travel agent..and tell her: " if you need more information, I know a good site..."

I'm teaching my AAA agent right now!! Going to go back to booking directly through Disney next trip.

[DHUNTBUNCH]

Even my answering machine says "Have a Magical Day" My cell phone wallpaper is Beach Club and my ringtone is the monorail "Please stand clear of the doors" then in spanish. I need a Disney Pill for this disease. 36 Days until our next trip.

Have a Magical Night!

[txsoccermom]

I have "Some Day my Prince will come...." and "When you wish upon a star" as my ringtones, and everytime I sign an e-mail to a friend now, I put "Your friendly Cast Member"! I have been told I need an intervention :eek: Why? It's so much fun this way :goodvibes I don't know if I can handle it though for 81 more days......I'm even planning my friends' trips for them! :laughing:

OOH!! I want to have those ringtones!! Maybe when I get my iPhone. I'm so cheap I hate to pay to download them!
I too am addicted.
1) I'm at work right now. I do more DISing and trip planning than working some days! Shh.
2) I'm always looking for my next discount
3) my kids have been 4 times. They are 6 and 8.
4) I'm always telling people about DIS and loaning my guidebooks out.
5) We just came back in Feb and since there was a bounceback offer on our cruise, we're planning to go back in Nov/Dec. yippee! More planning!!
6) just yesterday someone called me a "Disney junkie" and I thanked her!

Top 10 Signs You Are Addicted to Disney aka You Know You Need Help When...


when you can spell EEYORE! :thumbsup2

[rivercottage]

A few Ive noticed:

I listen to beachboys albums doing my work, close my eyes and pretend im in typhoon lagoon.

Constantly price up my meals in disneys restaurants

Have packed to go, even though ive 35 days left

Researching sun tan lotion on ebay

[njmom47]

I watched the "Disney Wedding Special" on WEtv and now I'm trying to convince my dd(she's only 15!) to get married there...:rotfl2:

My friend from work is going in June and does not talk incessantly about her trip, and I can't understand why!! :confused: I am making them take a "flat me" so at least I'll be in the pics...

I love Tink and Eeyore the best (and yes, I am a hormonal depressed woman haha!)...

We got hamsters and named them Minnie and Tinkerbell...

I wear my Tinkerbell (2006 trip) sweatshirt constantly...

And I also am trying to convince my husband to retire to Florida so we can work in WDW....

[shebaxric]

It is really nice to know that I am not alone!:upsidedow You can tell by my signature that I am proud to be addicted.:goodvibes

You know you are addicted to Disney When:

- You convince your boss that the annual sales meeting needs to be in Orlando.:rolleyes1

- A co-worker went to WDW and before the trip you ask what resort they are staying at and they don't remember and you audibly GASP.:scared1:

- The same co-worker went to WDW and wasn't that excited about the trip just days before leaving. You secretly harbor a dislike for this person even though they are perfectly nice.:scared:

- You will deal with an annual trip with your in-laws just to get your fix.:eek:

- You've watched the Travel Channel Disney Specials so much that you know it by heart and can quote it.:woohoo:

If this is a sickness, I never want a cure to be found. :yay:

[klmorg]

I guess when you are amazed, (if not slightly miffed), at people who are going to Disney and don't talk about it or plan it excessively, and another one that hit the nail on the head was getting a bit depressed as you get close to your vacation (thats me!! 9 days away:woohoo: ) because you know that soon it will be over....

Oh and then there is the pricing a WDW vacation when you aren't even planning one...yep, done that too!!

Thank goodness I have another trip already in the works :banana: or I could be severely depressed in about 3 weeks!!

[Explodo]

Ok...I'll divulge the information...


My List

1. You hear Big Band music and Instantly start thinking about standing outside Casey's in the MK.

2. Go to Disneyworld.com every day and price out a Top of the line trip just to have some idea of what level of cash I would need at any given moment to take a dream vacation. (Yesterday was 10 days in the Royal Palm level of the GF...with the Platinum dining package...add Wine and Dine...for 4...$7000...including airfare. The day before that was the Poly with the same accoutriments...$7400)

3. Use your photographic memeory as a storage receptacle for hidden Micky locations (My wife accused me of wasting my brain storage capacity)

4. All of your Friends call in order to get the best disney info...Hell...I point them here



My name is Explodo...and I have a disney problem.

[Mel6197]

When I refuse to Drink Coke Product outside of Disney

Im a pepsi Girl
So while at the Movies with my kids, I took a sip of their soda and I was in the Magic Kingdom, with the flavor.

When I skrimp and save all year long and are too cheap to do anything, but when my sisters asks me to upgrade to a Moderate and stay a extra 2 days, I book it before she leaves my house.

When I go to work at night, and take care of my residents with 1 earphone in my ear and Im listening to Parades while taking care of them..

When I talk more about Disney than my 2 kids and my 2 neices that we go with every year, combined...:grouphug:

[Disney Dreamer Jen]

How about this...When asked by my DH what was the date of our Wedding around two months after the fact...I confused our Wedding date with the Happiest day of my life... two days after the wedding...which was my first day at Disney Ever and meeting Mickey Mouse. "Oops, my bad. I Love you Honey!!"

Oh, and crying more when meeting Mickey Mouse than when I was getting married two days previous.

Yea, I think I have a problem.

[NotSoEvilStepmother]

Goodness. Are you guys watching me????????:rotfl:

Lol. This thread is my life in a nutshell.

#????--Even though you have no trips planned, every time you go shopping, you ask yourself "Can I wear this in Florida?"

[DHUNTBUNCH]

Where did you get your ringtones? And where did you get the countdown nametag? I just can't get enough disney. 31 Days until our trip to BCV and grandopening of AK just one night there out of 10.

Have a Magical Day!

[DHUNTBUNCH]

You really need to be A Disney Vacation Club Member. We love it and we always stay where we want on property, and when we want. When we arrive they say "WELCOME HOME" sometimes I really feel like they mean it.

Have a Magical Day!

[GinCar]

[QUOTE=njmom47;30903243]I watched the "Disney Wedding Special" on WEtv and now I'm trying to convince my dd(she's only 15!) to get married there...:rotfl2:

This was me, too, except my dd is only 10!!!:rotfl2:

Another addicted sign:
I went to Disney on ice last night with my 2 DD's. I am so into it, but getting angry at the people next to me. I swear they got up 6 times during the show!
All I could think is- you are obstructing my view of The Incredible's, how inconsiderate.:rotfl:

There are so many other signs I am exhibiting, but I think you guys have covered them all.:thumbsup2

[kandcmch]

WOW! :lmao: My DH is so ready to leave so I will stop worrying about the trip. I made final payment for our resort. He already bought our tickets from the ITT here on Fort Stewart. Now it is like hurry up and wait. :sick: It is making me sick. What else can I do??? When I am at work I am telling people how much longer I have to leave. When I get a break I am here on Disboard. HELP! I am addicted!:rotfl:

[nicoleakr]

You end your conversations with "have a magial day" :wizard:

:rotfl2:that is my at the end of my voice mail in my cell phone. I have a fun who said I love to hear that I just might call your phone to hear it.

[disneydafty]

I love the fact I'm not alone in this :)

My normal day, I drive to work listening to Podcasts, laughing along with the Podcast crew, oh how I want to be in that peanut gallery.

Lunchtime, I'm checking all the sites searching forums, menus, activities, tours, resorts, weather, shopping. Updating my plan so that I know what we are doing hour by hour.

Come home and tell DH , DS & DH
- what Theresa, Kevin & Pete said today (I just love their voices)
- get really excited to tell them news, trivia, gossip, reviews etc
- what I have added to our holiday plan

I dream of being there, I think about what I am going to do, in my mind I can visualise, smell, taste and feel the magic.

Oh well, only 94 sleeps to go, I better get packing.

I don't understand people who can only go once or don't get it, we all have a bond that can never be broken, we're like family :grouphug:

Maybe we should all be locked up somewhere to recover : ) like Cinderella's Castle for instance. :rotfl2:

Have a magical day :)

[dydo2424]

Maybe we should all be locked up somewhere to recover : ) like Cinderella's Castle for instance. :rotfl2:



LOVE IT!!!!:rotfl::rotfl::thumbsup2:lmao:

[kandcmch]

Yes, but if they sent us all to Cinderelle's castle they would have to shut it down. Because there would be so many of us there. LOL :rotfl: I really think there should be a support group for people like us. :thumbsup2 I would join! I think I am going to start packing this weekend!:dance3:

[btlegrljessi]

[QUOTE=momtobrynncess;28644943] Speaking of which, and this is for the Cast Members who may be reading about my sickness: Does it take away any of the magic when you work there? Would it be any less magical if I could go there everyday? Which is what I dream of? But would I love Disney less if I worked there? QUOTE]

I think this depends on your situation and what area of the park you work in! I was a College Program kid back in 2004, and had the opportunity to work attraction operations at Test Track for several months. I will say that I had a fantastic time and it was definitely "magical" for me, but folks who have worked there longer may have a different opinion. I was in it to have fun and spend my last semester of college (certainly not for the paycheck!) so I had a great time. I will say getting to close the park down every night at 9pm and listening/watching the tail end of Illuminations from the bridge near Mexico every night was magical for me- I still get misty-eyed when I hear that music! I imagine those who work in the MK probably also have a different perspective, as opposed to EPCOT, which has a different kind of "magic." Anyone else, thoughts?

[love2teach5th]

I feel so much better knowing I am not alone! I swear my husband is ready to commit me! I had a dream that I wasn't finished packing for my trip and had to take a later flight....and b/c of it missed my Chef Mickey's reservation! I haven't even gone yet and I'm already thinking about when I can go again!

[Disneymomma41304]

That one is right on the money! How about:

13. You book your "perfect" resort, then second-guess yourself for several sleepless nights because you're not sure you made the right choice. (This is so me right now...just changed my January resort for the 3rd time today...):scared1:

and

14. You occasionally hop onto Disney's site and price vacations, even when you're not really planning a trip.

and

15. You occasionally price airfare to Orlando in the hopes of finding a really low fare that would be reason enough for another trip to WDW.

You are soooo not alone...it is a sickness! But one I enjoy! :rotfl:

I totally agree with everything!! Other people just dont get it, I agonize every day over the choices and the trip. I can totally feel you on #13, I do that all the time and #14 too!! WOW, there are other crazy Disney fans like me!!! And we live 2 hours away and I still get excited about it like its my 1st time!!:mickeyjum

[Hallowishes]

LOL :rotfl: you guys make me feel so much better! i thought i was the only one with these problems! i just booked my next trip and got my airfare now im on to waiting and revising my dining plans over and over again!!

[MissFitt]

Oh my gosh...I'm not alone!!!!

I'm the one who ordered the planning DVD even though I've been there more times than I can remember! And now my DS (4) is addicted to it and wants to watch it over and over :cheer2:

He and his sister (6) are always asking if we can go back to Disney and my standard reply is, "Ask your father" -- I swear he must think I put them up to it!

I didn't think we'd be back again this year but I couldn't pass up the 4/3 deal and I guess my kids have some magic of their own that they used to bring Daddy around!

[churchpilot]

Your husband has to take away your Disney travel planning book---because you are reading it in church!!!:blush:

[Lilmattie13]

Tell Tale sign you are addicted.

Getting a new puppy and only considering (girl) princess names.

By the way Belle is the winner!

Oh ya I am disney obessed, or is it I am just in constant disney therapy? hmmmm?:lmao:

[sjrolaids]

:dog2::dog2:Tell Tale sign you are addicted.

Getting a new puppy and only considering (girl) princess names.

By the way Belle is the winner!

Oh ya I am disney obessed, or is it I am just in constant disney therapy? hmmmm?:lmao:

I must have been subconsciously thinking the same thing: both of our dogs are named Disney names. Daisy :dog:and Tinkerbell:tink:

[DisGal520]

how about buying new shirts for summer and thinking - will these go with our lanyards...?

[Diznejen1]

You know you are addicted when the password on your computer at work expires and you can't choose a new one until you make a new resort reservation! Thats how I remember my new passwords....our next visit!

[lynn71092]

You know you are addicted when the password on your computer at work expires and you can't choose a new one until you make a new resort reservation! Thats how I remember my new passwords....our next visit!



You can remember all 12 numbers?????:confused:

[letstalkboutdisney]

Love this thread!
I'ts nice to know I'm not the only one who obsesses about Disney 24/7.
I thought we were the only ones who wanted to move to Florida and work at disney.

#? You are thinking about renewing your vows at Disney or trying to talk all your kids into getting married at Disney.

[trickiwoo]

Haha! The first dog I ever had was named "Mickey"!

[captainj]

I have one . . .

You have a bag/box (or bedroom :rolleyes1) where you throw things all year long that you pick up at dollar tree, wal-mart, target, etc. for the next time even if the next time isn't booked or "officially" planned yet. :lmao:

[Diznejen1]

You can remember all 12 numbers?????:confused:

:rotfl2: Sorry! I try to put the name of the resort we are staying at in the password. Or an ADR that we have. 12 numbers....I can hardley remember my phone number!:rotfl:

[wildviper]

You know you are addicted when the password on your computer at work expires and you can't choose a new one until you make a new resort reservation! Thats how I remember my new passwords....our next visit!

You know you are addicted when...

...(like me) all you passwords at work are Disney "themed".

...you re-read Walt Disney biographies because everything else is boring.

...you have turned a "once in a lifetime" trip into an annual family vacation :thumbsup2

[CanadianPaco]

When you create more Disney teeshirts than days you are going or people in your family!

When you paint Mickey heads on your already painted nails!

And yes, when your passwords are all Disney related!!!!:worship:

[memphismovin]

Had to rescue this thread :thumbsup2

-If sitting here right now you could give an exact bus hopping procedure to get TO any resort FROM any resort in the shortest amount of time possible

-When asked what you want for dinner, a Disney restaurant is almost always put jokingly, if not half seriously, up as a suggestion

-Your dogs/pets have "Disney only" items and clothes to take to the Disney kennel with them, often requiring their own luggage

-You have been made seriously upset by a change by Disney when you have no trip planned for it to affect

-Every holiday is now up for the possibility of "wouldn't it be nice if we could go to Disney for..."

-You don't actually know what the inside of MCO looks like because you run with blinders on, to the rental/magical express areas because you are already running late for an ADR

-Your cabinet contains nothing but Disney cups and people at the office comment on the number resort mugs you have

[dalstitch45]

My top ten signs are summed up by two (2):

1. When almost every PP's Top 10 signs apply to you.

2. When you just returned, and you are going back in two (2) weeks just to see the Once Upon A Christmastime Parade, and you don't live in Florida.

I don't think this obsession is a problem.:confused3 I think the problem is the people who are not obsessed with Disney. Okay, maybe I do need help. NOT!! I am perfectly okay with my addiction to Disney.:wave2:

[HakunaMatata23]

When you open up your Disney photo album any time you are in a foul mood or something bad happens, in an effort to cheer yourself up :)

[MommaMouse411]

wow this thread is hilarious...my mom says I shoud be a Disney travel agent...lol...

I live an hour from Disney...so I'm always thinknig of disney...that's just it...my sons father calls me a dork...says I love mickey mouse more than him..I said heck yea I do...and can you give me some more money so we can go see him again!! lol

I think I talk to someone every day about disney..I don't know how that happens..but it does...

Everytime I see something with Mickey/Minnie/Cars I want to buy...

I actually like watching Disney Channel all day...and why is Phineas and Ferb my favorite cartoon!

I try to do anything Disney related: go to see disney movies...going to see Mary Poppins live in June 2010...etc etc..

My mother is just as addicted...and so is her husband.

[MMrules]

I thought this was an addiction only I had....glad to see there are other addicts out there too :cool1:

The top 10 sums it up for me. However I have several others:

Entire Disney scrapbooks are completed (3 of resorts, one of Disney cruise) before finishing any of my kids albums!!!:)

Planning my next trip before I have even left the resort to go home.

Threatening my hubby that if he should lose his job (god forbid) we are selling our house in MA and moving to FL just to be closer to the mouse.

Trying to figure out a way to go there several times a year, even though we can't afford it!!!!

[mom2val]

I knew I was a Disney addict our last trip- 3 days in and I was already planning the trip for the following year. We leave in 2 days and I am already trying to decide if we go in Oct 2010 for DD's birthday or if we go again in Dec 2010. Wish we could do both trips but she can only miss 5 days for school.

[Vility]

wow I love this!

[seadd67]

We love Disney world so much that on our up coming trip(this July) to Disneyland,the thought of missing flordia and Disneyworld was just to much to bare!. We have made a decession to split the trip between Disneyland and Disneyworld

[mickey2minnie1]

Wow! I never knew I was a Disney addict until I read this thread.:rotfl:

Mt 12 year old was reading them to me and laughing. I guess I have been in denial, lol.:lmao:

[vermontgirl]

My name is Jeanette and I am a Disney addict, but this is one addiction that I don't want to be cured from!:rotfl2:

[GrumpyBelle]

I'm truly sick and in need of medical attention.

#???: you get a phone call that your husband near drowned after his boat capsized and was rescued out of the frigid winter waters in New England lucky to be alove. On your way to the hospital to see him you utter the words "I hope this doesn't interfere with my upcoming trip to Disney". What a horrid woman I am!!!! :scared1: It wouldn't have been so bad if I just kept the thoughts in my head, but I said it OUT LOUD to my DD7.

I would have done the same thing. And if it were me in his place, I would have been in the hospital bed thinking the same thing--it better not interfer with my upcoming trip to Disney.

My signs of obsession include:

Telling myself that picking up one more shift this week won't be so bad--it is just more money for Disney (after you have already worked 6 days in a row).

Telling DH who is working on the monthly budget 'make sure the Disney payments get made first. Those have to be made.'

[MouseloverJD]

I'm a disney addict and am constantly having to explain why every vacation I've taken in the past seven years has been to Orlando. I just love Disney World!! Just recently had to decide btwn a Disney trip in May or a cruise with friends. Disney won of course. Everyone I asked recommended the cruise, but then, they are not Disney addicts.

So, my addition to the list is: You know you're a disney addict when you choose to go to Disney World over cruising with friends.

[IndyDisneyFan]

You know that you are addicted when you check the weather forcast for Disney when you aren't even going!

Does anyone else get strange looks when they talk to other people about Disney.. saying well we stayed at CSR and when to Mk...checked out AKl to see of we'd like to stay there and decided we'd like to mvmcp and the cp next time we go.....and then realize they have no idea about the abbreviations you've just used.

sorry not adding a new one but asking a question. What is the 4/3 deal? I haven't seen any new deals since the gift cards that go through 6/3 and we are going either 6/12 or 6/19. Is there a deal that I am not finding?

Before I was married my family went to DisneyLand every summer. My husband had no idea how much I would miss disney. After the 1st summer of being unble to go to disney(AKA I was 8 mo. Pergent) My husband told me We would go to DisneyWorld!!! :yay: instead. After the baby was born. I got so excited my water broke soon after he told me.:eek: Now my family teases me about having to baby early so I could to go to disney. :rolleyes1 ( Baby was "Perfect in every way") So mine is

Mine too! It changed from "You're going to Disney again? Aren't you sick of it?" from friends and family to "So, when is your next trip?" They know it's just a given!

OMG! OMG! OMG! I have to show this to you guys!! My birthday was Sunday and my DH was really upset because his gift for me wasn't finished yet. He is a wire jewelry artist and he has been incredibly busy lately. ANYWAY, I just got my birthday gift and I am in tears!!

http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu132/captainj5991/mickeypendant2.jpg

Do you recognize that red Mickey head inside??

http://i641.photobucket.com/albums/uu132/captainj5991/mickeyheads.jpg


Yep, it is confetti from our last night in Disney at the Wishes Dessert Party! DH had collected it off of the table when I wasn't looking to make me a pendant with! :love: He even put a hidden Mickey in the bail (not really hidden, but you know what I mean!)

He usually makes pendants from people's flowers (prom, wedding, funerals, etc.) but said he didn't want to get arrested for picking flowers in Disney World! :rolleyes1

Anyway, he is the sweetest DH in the world (right now) and I had to share with everyone I know who will appreciate it!

That is beautiful, amazing, and what a treasure! He could probably make a ton of money selling those on ebay! Hope you had a magical birthday!
