Disney Fanatic

[Unofficial627]

While watching one of our Disney vacation videos, I glanced at it and saw myself and my grandmother at a waterfountain, and I said to myself, "We're at MGM." Now, I don't watch this one a lot and I don't pay attention to those details. But then it hit me, I'm a Disney fanatic. I just thought, If I know that that water fountain is in MGM within seconds, somethings not right. But, hey, it's not a bad thing, right?
When did you realize you were a fanatic?

I realized I was a Disney fanatic after my first visit..Spring break, 1982!!!

I realized that I was a fanatic when I went to Disney World during xmas of '99, I haven't been in a long time. This was my first time taking my daughter. We had just viewed the backlot of MGM studios (they had it decorated with the Osbourne's Family light display). Upon exiting the park one of the cast members were doing surveys. I remember one of the questions was as follows: "While at Disney, did you ever feel as if you were in a fantasy". And my answer was YES!!!! Disney is definately a magic kingdom it allows me do away with the everyday troubles and stress that you face on a daily basis. Not to say that they won't be there when you get back (i.e bills, co-workers,crime, lol) but Disney makes the biggest problem appear small or obsolete.

So whenever I have a stressful day, I think of Disney and do my countdown


So now on my return flight back home from Disney, I start planning for my next trip!!!! Now I don't know if I'm taking my daughter or if my daughter is taking me, lol

I've got a special Disney book that I keep track of my annual planning. We go every xmas now. I can't wait for this year, we are staying at the new POP CENTURY!!!

When I found this DIS board and even though I had NO money to go down the block let along across the country to WDW I still come back to these boards Every single Day to collect tips for a Dream Trip!! I never give up hope that some day my dream will come true..........

I know I'm a Disney Fanatic because...

-every trip that we take becomes longer & longer
-my friends no longer use their travel agents to book trips, they ask me
-the Disney Club reservation line is on Speed dial on both my house & cell phone!!
-I spend the last 4 days of our trip crying my eyes out because I don't want to leave
-our friends came back from their honeymoon & showed us pictures, a whole roll was messed up- something with the flash- the pictures were really dark you couldn't tell which person was which, but by things like bushes & benches we knew what parks they were in!- they thought we were nuts!
-when a friend asked for our opinion on the Swan & Dolphin my sentence started with "The hotel was designed by Michael Graves..." (might I add that we have never stayed there!! who knows the designer of a hotel, it's not as if it's our favorite one... WHERE DID I LEARN THAT?)

My favorite, & my boyfriends favorite reason of all....
Last summer all of our friends & family told us to go try something else for a change, all we ever do is go to WDW so even though we didn't feel we needed a change, we decided to give something else a try, see what was out there. We booked a trip to St Pete's beach, FLA. Stayed at a beach front resort, our room opened onto the sand-- it was so pretty. Great right? No, I spent every night in the hotel room sitting on my BF's lap crying because I wanted to go to Disney World. We went for 2 weeks in January & we're going again in August... the only other vacation we are willing to try now is a Disney Cruise! Why do anything else in the world?? I LOVE WDW!!!!

I've known since I was like 6 or 7. When i spent all my time making my own disney books...not just writing...making, lol. Id make a cover out of cardboard and design it..then inside id write out every ride, evverryyy ride. Then in the back i would make up my own games..mostly trivia.

Well, I realized I was a deprived child when I first went 11/99 with my 5yr old DD. My parents had never taken me to Disneyland or world (sniff, sniff). Maybe that led to my fanaticism. Overcompensation, OCD...

Realized I was a fanatic when I looked at my list of trips after booking FTP and can now see in a 11month time period, we'll have three trips--18 nights-- at Disney Resorts.

I'm a sick puppy...(Pluto, of course!)

I've always had an "inkling" that I'm a Disney Fanatic....but my mother just confirmed it last night! She came to visit from out of town, and by the end of the first day of her visit she announced, "You're addicted to Disney!" It seems that everything I talked about had to do with Disney...redecorating my bathroom in Mickey Mouse, the plans I've already made for our "October 2004" visit to WDW with our girls, my sister's honeymoon in 2 weeks to WDW, my wanting to visit DL in the spring when we travel to CA for my cousins wedding, the "Disney" items I'd like to have for my upcoming birthday, etc, etc, etc. I just can't help myself! I live, sleep, and dream Disney!
