--I get on Vons.com to see just how much you can get for $50 to get the free delivery
--you redo you spreadsheet every day to make sure you haven't missed
critical churo and Dole Whip time
--you go to the Disney website calendar and put in your dates (knowing you are too far out for the info to be posted) just to see one more day has been added.

I have a new one as of today!

You know you're excited about your upcoming trip to Disneyland when you decide it's time to upgrade your cell phone because your 2 years is up and you can get a new phone that will let you communicate with the Dis while in the park next week and download cool apps and stuff like that, even though you're a technological dinosaur and have never been interested in such things before

...the POTC ride soundtrack CD gets played daily in your car.

...you absentmindedly arrange the food on your children's plates in hidden-Mickey formation.

...you use DH's very rare DL questions (that sometimes inadvertently occur between The Eye Roll and The Big Sigh) as an excuse to spend hours "looking up answers" on the DISboards.

... you have a dream about walking down main street pushing small children over (I'm not kidding...) to get to the Disneyland version of Space Mountain

I'm glad this happens to other people. Two that I remember are

...we're there with the in-laws and waiting in the hotel for everyone to get ready, me and my son can see the parks on the TV and we see the opening ceremony, rides, parades, shows, basically that we're missing everything and the in-laws won't hurry up and get ready (this is reflective of our actual trip with in-laws in 06)

...I'm there with my parents and they get tired and go back to the hotel and take my son with them, I am alone and free in the park, I'm wandering around and can do anything I want to do, it's awesome

Plus a question, how do you get the countdown ticker? I only have a few months left and would love to watch it tick by.

Click on my ticker and it will take you to the website and you can make your own. Then, after you have made yours - copy the code and come back to your User CP and paste it in your signature - super easy.

... you are printing off saving coupons for meals, etc

[laura&fam]

. . . you play Disney music so often that your 20 month old requests that you sing "Coo L" and "You Who" (Cruella Devil and Yo Ho A Pirates Life for Me) as bedtime songs.

I completely agree! As I've read each post I think. "Oh yeah, I do that, too!"

mine:
--when you start hiding items in your luggage that you purchased on clearance at the Disney Store that you will give the kids as souvies on the trip! The first trick is digging them out of storage and into the luggage without getting caught!

Your trying to "Disneybrainwash" your kids by playingthe new snow white movie over and over again through they day, even when they're not paying attention, when I get sick of the snow white movie on goes Alice or Sleeping Beauty or Cinderella. Then every Saturday is Disney movie night and I make them sit though all the pixar movies again

LOL you beat me to it

[rszdtrvl]

You tell your son "Grab your hoodie "howdy, howdy, howdy" (hoodie/Woody) every morning. And every morning you get the pre-teen eyeroll in return. LOL.

And you scour ebay looking for Disney music, and find that someone just posted a 2008 Disneyland 2-cd set (only available in the park) for less than $20 shipped and you almost jump up and down because it has so many cool ride songs!!! (dutch auction - plenty available still!)

[Brancaneve]

I'm sure you all do this:

Scratch yourself all over because your are in desperate need of your Disney fix!
