"Crazy" because of love of all things Disney??

[Mermaid02]

A good friend was here last night and was telling me I was crazy due to my plethora of WDW knowledge. I was telling her where certain rides are in the World, what kind of tickets there were and what kind of tickets there weren't, about different hotels...you know, that kind of thing. She said, "How do you know all of that stuff?" or maybe it was "Why" anyhoo- do your friends and family understand or do they think you're nuts?? BTW- she went to WDW in February and is going again this coming February, says 3 days is enough.... she's kind of had enough. Now YOU all tell ME who the crazy one is!!

BTW- Hi Villa!! (sometimes she lurks!)

 

[Pop Daddy]

you are the crazy one

I get it all the time from my friends. One in particular really does not understand, but then, I don't understand why she likes going to the beach every time she goes on vacation. That sounds kind of dull to me. Different strokes I suppose....

I think anyone sho thinks that 3 days is enough time is nutty.

A relative mentioned the beginnings of planning a trip to WDW. I said to call me when they were ready because I knew lots of tips and money saving ideas and other planning information. He said , "OH MY, you're not one of THEM are you? The people with the lanyards, pins and ribbons?" I'm definately not, but told him I still knew a lot of information about planning a trip.

So far, my friends and family think it's great. I brought my scrapbooks in to work from the last trip and the faculty were all thrilled to find out that as teachers (and admin staff) that they could stay at the Dolphin at a great rate!

They already think I know everything anyway--now they're sure of it!

We are all crazy! I love Disney and I am driving people at work nuts. It the, "Did you see the Travel Channel last night?" kind of stuff.

They look at me as if I have lost my mind....

Oh well...I have a good time at WDW while they have to slave away at work!

I get that all the time. DH rolls his eyes whenever I talk about the DIS , and more polite people just "glaze" over their eyes when I speak of WDW.....

They (although DH is beginning to understand) don't understand the amount of planning that is involved with a WDW trip. Anyone who goes and just "wings it" either will be miserable or will miss out on a lot of stuff.. With all that being said...

Depending on what she wants to do, 3 days may be enough at WDW. I am going for 3 days in September as a mini/mommy/vacation by myself, and I am thinking that my time will be very efficiently spent.

And with my family, we don't need to spend a week at WDW. (It would be nice to just lay around and do nothing, I suppose for a couple of days, but that would just seem like a waste to me..That's the kind of vacationer I am..)

When we go, it is off season, so we can get the same amount of stuff done (with planning-we also do not have to do everything there..) in 5 days that takes a week-10 days for peak season. The only difference is that we are not spending half of our park time in lines...

That may all change as DS6 and DS4 get into higher grades at school, but right now I can take them out of school for 2 days and have a 5 day trip to WDW-off peak (teacher's work day also). We can spend 2 days at the parks, one day of rest, one waterpark day, and an extra to either go back to the waterpark or back to the rides. We will get plenty of resort pool time in the evenings.

I do have one friend who is fanatical about WDW. It's weird, he has an AP and drives to WDW from SC (9 hours) about 6 times a year. He usually goes by himself. When we go to lunch together, we can spend the entire time talking about WDW... (I gave myself an "eyeroll" on that one!)

Yes everyone thinks I am crazy! But most of the time I agree with them. As my sig. says " I might be a little bit crazy, but it keeps me from losing my mind"!!!!

my Dbf thinks i'm crazy, but he quickly learned to accept that and thats why our relationship works

we live only an hour away but i still get all wacky & giddy evertime we go to WDW. i <3 driving through the WDW "gates" onto the property from I-4 exits... its like oooh we are entering the WORLD.

i also worked on Main Street a few summer's back, and people think thats changes everything for them, but i think it just made me more crazy FREE ADMISSION? yes! wooo hooooo lol
i went all summer long, and now i really don't need a map

i think short vacations are the best, that way u are sure to miss out on some things... giving a good reason to go back
then again we live close so its easy to do that.
