Are we all addicted?

[milmore104]

My name is Nicki and I'm a Disney ADDICT. I can't tell you how many times I check the site because I never shut it off. Every now and then my DH checks his mail but otherwise it's always on. I love the DIS and everyone on it. I love that there is other people out there that are addicted to Disney. Now I know I'm not weird!!!

I am also addicted. Whenever I am bored at work I log on, like I am doing now. I have found so much information from this board. I leave 8/3 and can't wait to use all the information. I'm going to look for the talking wastecan, the talking water fountain, the mayor, the CM name tags, etc, etc, etc. I also love the fact that you ask a question and before the day is over you have many replies. I love you all!!!

I prefer to call it a hobby LOL! The only thing I hate about my "hobby" is when my DH figures out I have been DISing all day, then it feels like an addiction! Laurie

It's the first thing I do in the morning and the last thing I do at night.

It's an absolute compulsion. And my trip isn't until May!!!!!!!!!!!

Count me in!!

And congrats to jennymouse!

I find that my favorite e-mails come from the DIS boards. I love checking out the same posts over and over (with additional replies, of course). My typing skills have really improved so I can't complain. This is one addiction that at least I'm learning from. There's so much more to see around here but I rarely ever make it out of just the Resorts forum. Help!!

I'm definitely addicted! I spend tons of time on the DIS!

You're only three weeks into the planning. The addiction hasn't even begun....wait 'til you get back!!

I knew I wasn't the only one whose on here constantly, they really should start a WDWAnonymous(e).

I am sooo addicted and it's not good. I get on first thing in the morning and get back on every chance I get. It's getting bad. I need help! My family is starting to really give me a hard time about being on the computer so much.

 

[BCV23]

Me, too. This summer, I find I check first thing in the morning and run back to check multiple times during the day. Today may have been my worst! Other than a trip to WDW, has anyone found a cure?

 

[Krissalee]

I admit it, I'm addicted, too. I check these boards daily after work, and sometimes (ok, oftentimes) check again in the evning. DH has started calling me a DisneyManiac, and whenever I am on the computer, he accuses me of "Maniac-ing!" And he's right. He sure does love the trips I plan, though!

I'm also addicted. I've been checking usually 2x a day and when I'm not able to get on the computer I really miss it. I think the question should really be "Is there anyone on this site that is NOT addicted?"

 

[big4bball]

This is my first time posting anything, although I have been reading from the boards for about 4 months. My wife actually calls it an obsession. I have been planning for our next trip since Jan. and we won't go back until March. I love doing this and planning for all the magic

 

[helenk]

I am addicted or obsessed whatever!
I check the board frequently, more so at work because I do have it marked as a favorite and when I am on hold I check to see what is going on, instead of taking a break I check the boards, and for part of my lunch I check the boards, my first 1/2 hour of lunch is walking, gotta get use to walking miles each day at WDW!
I think I have read every guide book and I love the planning stages as much as the vacation itself.
Now that I have upgraded to the WL with the great codes I find myself sneaking a peak at the resorts board a bit more lately. I am slowly but surely going through the WL thread which is over 50 pages long.
I LOVE THIS PLACE AND WDW

I admit it too - I'm hooked! I also think of it as a hobby - until I'm behind on things and check the boards anyway...then, I agree, it's an addiction! I lurked for quite awhile and then finally started posting...and I really think that's when you get even MORE hooked! At least, that's what happened to me!

 

[jldriscoll]

DH's computer shut down the network in our house today and he didn't figure that out until 5pm!! AAAAHHHHH , didn't care about the missed emails, or instant messaging the best friend.....how was I going to get through the day without all of you!!!!

Solved that problem by taking the kids the a state park for 5 hours.....

Now to catch up

 

[MickeyMonstersMom]

I've graduated from a simple compulsive planner to a WDW addict. I thought it was bad when I had 6 WDW books on my nightstand, rereading them and comparing perspectives nightly. Then I came here... I'm on at least twice a day, must check every forum, and then often will go back and check those books again! We leave on our first family trip (my third) in exactly one month, and I've already started mentally organizing the next three trips I plan to make (and those not until 2005-6!). What will I do when school starts back up and the real world intrudes???


All that aside, this is a fantastic community of addicts.

In my opinion (obsessive ) planning is half the fun!!!!!

[Bobrow]

I thought it was only me! I check constantly and wonder what I will do in 4 weeks when its over! Even my kids think I'm nuts! I' am afraid of the big letdown when I get home.

 

[kimmar067]

My DS's laugh at me for being so "obsessed" with the Dis (like that's a BAD thing???!?!??!). Even my dH thinks that I'm nuts, too. Well, he sure doesn't think that when I'm busy searching for all the little ins-and-outs for our vacation!! For instance, he bragged to two of his aquaintances how I saved SOOO much $$$ on this trip we will be taking (in about 14 hrs!) As recently as a day ago, I almost paid $61.99 for the 1st day and $69.99 for the 2nd day on a rental of a Dodge Caravan. Guess what?? Because of the DIS, I am now only paying $39.99/day!! If it isn't illegal (the DIS ISN'T illegal, right?), immoral, hurt anybody (ok, so my DFam's sanity is at stake!! ), or cost anything, it can't be TOO bad........okay, you can all nod your heads in agreement !

 

[melomouse]

I have to laugh - we are all SO not alone! I almost had a breakdown when my computer crashed a few weeks ago.
Today I was rebooking my car rental at a better rate - or so I thought - only to check with Avis and found my compact was $155 w/ taxes, etc. Did not rebook ANYTHING! Just felt like I was really starting to lose it!
Checking the boards is what I do to alleviate my anxiety about the trip, my fears about whether everyone will be happy in WDW and whether or not the room at WL is really big enough for 2 adults, DS and DD.
oh, couldn't we all go on & on.... so maybe I'll start a new thread now...?

We're all in it together. Sure helps me through my day.

I think 17 days to go. Lost my clock along with my mind...
