Disney like turning to Disney obsession, relate?

[SpringSprite]

Hey all!

So, I was a Disney fan as a kid, went on a few family trips, saw the movies, had a stuffed Eeyore that I LOVED, etc.
We made it a point to go to Disney for a couple days after I got married (we were visiting family in Florida), I would consider myself just a "normal" fan...

Now I have two boys ages 4 and 3, we are planning our first family trip for next September, and since I've found these boards, (and various other blogs, planners, sites, etc) I'VE GONE RABID DISNEY FAN.

I am planning out Halloween costumes, making little drawstring bags with Mickey fabric for my boys to keep their trading pins in, deciding what Disney movie I'm going to buy next, I'm hitting my hubs with a BARRAGE of Disney info the second he walks into the door from work, and so on....

It's bizarre! My fan level has upped to a 10 and I haven't even been there again yet! Can anyone relate? It's this STRANGE phenomena. I LOVE planning, and as a kid I obviously had no idea how much planning could be done for Disney. Maybe that's part of it?

I too "suffer" from OCDPD (Obsessive Compulsive Disney Planning Disorder). What I have learned in the years since I developed this problem is to not fight it. Once it has ahold of you it's never letting go so you may as well just accept this new way of life and embrace it!
