We are fundraising in a major way. Costs, without arifare (no way to tell now what they might be) and without meals inside the parks comes to about $1,000 per person. Chaperones are paying ther own way, so the girls have to have $6.000. Yikes. Guess that's more than you wanted to know, huh?

We all need a Friends of DIS Group. I noticed that Friends of Bill meet on the ship. Could we get DCL to give us a room and schedule it in the Navigator?

We have had to pay for a kindergarten aid in one of my son's classes. We have fundraised in every way, shape and form. Do you have a See's Candy near you? Candy bars sell well, 50 cent profit per bar. Group garage sale. Silent auction. Get donations from everyone, (amazing what companies will donate, or give at cost), craft sales.....

12 step program for fundraisers not needed, this addiction we are perfectly willing to give up.

I'm sorry if you have to read this twice, but I am so happy to see
disney fans as obsessed as I am. I used to read romance novels and then I was reading Birnbaums and now it's these sites that I'm not very adept in, but anyway, we are going on our FIRST Disney cruise on Jan. 26, 2003 (maybe 25th) 4 day Wonder and I can't stop reading what everyone here writes. I love Disney. Would love to find anyone else traveling with us. I have four kids, 8, 11, 13 and 15. All boys except the 11 year old.

I'm addicted too... We aren't going until Feb/03 but I am on these boards several times a day, waiting patiently for another trip report... I'm glad I'm not the only one...

We got extremely ADDICTED TO THE DISNEY CRUISE EXPERIENCE!!! when you come back, all you will think about is when you can go again.......
I still dream about going again......

Who? Me? Naaah, I'm not addicted.

I'm addicted to DIS. I spent way too much time on it. DW must be thinking that I'm on some kind of chat room and having one of those you know what. When this board crashed a few months back, I was checking every couple of hours to see if it's back in action.

I half heartedly believed that it would be too painful to return to the Boards after our April 7th 4 day Wonder. I wallowed for two days and decided just to do a "quick check" for any comments from fellow DVCers about the experience. From that day forward I'm back once, twice or more a day. Of course having booked a 7 day Western Caribbean for February 1, 2003 eased the pain a bit.....

My wife says that I am addicted too. We can hardly wait til our March 22, 2003 DCL.

Before our March 16th cruise, I was on the DIS constantly. The DIS is how I found out there was a fire on board, then reading techdavidt (Kathy) post reaassured me that our cruise was still on. Well, I thought I wouldn't need the DIS when I came back. WRONG!! Now when my dh asks me what are you doing. Oh Im on the DIS, he just sighs!

I just love these boards, and can't wait until 2005 when we can go on the western!

I think we could have a lot of fun with a support group--can't you just imagine our meetings? "Hi, I'm Sue, and I'm a Dis-aholic! It started so innocently--I was trying to gather information for our upcoming trip. Then I needed more, and more. Soon I was ignoring the kids, neglecting my house, my job, my friends. My husband said I had a problem, but I denied it--I said I could quit whenever I wanted to! Soon I was sneaking visits when I was at work, at a friend's house. I was ashamed, but I couldn't stop it!" And we can have our list of questions, like "Do you DIS when you're by yourself? Do you find you DIS more than your friends? Have you and your spouse fought ove rthe amount of DIS time you take?" I think I'd better stop now, before my DH catches me...

I am newly addicted! Boy does it feel good I have to have a fix several times a day

This thread is pretty funny, but so true!! I'm on at least twice a day, have Dave's pic of the Magic on my computer as the background and not so patiently waiting for trip #4!

Yes, I am addicted. It started in '98 when I began researching our first disney vacation. I am a big planner and love gathering info. but quickly I started scanning the "Disney Search " feature. This led to other cruise line links and destination message boards. Recently, I have been spotted downloading and printing coupons from Capt. Marvin's(Grand Cayman) amd Mister Sanchos (Cozumel). A couple of months ago I found this board and I have become a daily visitor. I have tried to cut down to a couple of days a week but it is hard. When reading the forum I immagine I am on the cruise and I really enjoy it. My first cruise will be Feb. 2003. Until then I will just enjoy reading everything I can. Keep the messages coming.

 

[BuzznBelle'smom]

disneybets, you'll be forgiven your addiction if you'll only tell the rest of us where you got those Captain Marvin's coupons...

I think I need professional help...all I think about is the cruise. Driving everyone nuts! I got my video yesterday, watched it 3 times so far. Showed it to DH a while ago and got all choked up!!!

 

[beschultz]

Wow, someone else who gets choked up watching that video! My DH has learned to grab the box of tissues and come running when the kids put the video in!

And my older kids (20 & 22) learned that the Magic Whistle blows whenever I maximize a window on my computer and have asked me to get professional help!

I get all the professional help I need right here on these boards!

 

[Annie12345]

Disneybets - when in February are you going? We are taking our first Disney cruise February 8/03 on the Magic... My family thinks I am crazy doing all this planning so early, but they will be happy when the time comes.... I love the video too. I watch it at least a couple of times a week...

 

[heidica]

Well, it looks like I started something. Glad to know I am not alone. There is strength in numbers!
