[mom2taylorandemily]

Well trust me, you will not find any 12 step program here!!!!

Asking for help here is like walking into a bar b/c you need help overcoming alcoholism!

I miss it sooo much, I'm planning our next trip for next year. I can't stop thinking about it.

Everyone thinks I'm nuts...

Congratulations and welcome to the club!

I am not much help either! I went 5 times last year. This year we leave in 22 sleeps for the first trip, we have another planned in June. If I wasn't worried about the size of my siggy, there would be a 3rd ticker in there for a possible September trip and a 4th for the trip I booked last night for New Years. I am zero help.

I started wondering about my Disney addiction when I caught myself starting plans for a third trip for the same year when we hadn't even gone on the first one yet!

I meant nuts in a good way

-I do think about it everyday.
-I do dream about it a night.
-I have mostly all disney websites in my favorites
-My kids are seeing hidden mickeys everywhere. According to the teacher, one of them keeps drawing mickey ears and rearranges things to make mickey ear...
-my backround on my desktop, is disney.
-I'm wearing a disney PJ...

This is ME!!!!!!!!!! Except my list includes
- I wear an EEYORE denim jacket.
- I notice all cars with Mickey antenna toppers & try to see who is in the car.
- I have Mickey Mouse sheets.

Anyway OP ... there is NO CURE. Though I have to admit I haven't looked for one. DH got that silly grin on his face as this morning I said (for an unbooked trip yet!) ... "I think we will go to the Plaza Restaurant vs LTT since we will be having turkey at Thanksgiving ...." -- at least he didn't shake his head or roll his eyes!

I keep worrying the City will REMOVE the hidden Mickey in the sidewalk near our house when they upgrade!

Again ... welcome to the club!

You've come to the right place. We're all addicts here! I even decided to become a runner to get another trip in! DH and I are registered for the Disney Half Marathon next January! The lengths I will go to for another trip!

My name is Blair...and I'm addicted to Disney!!! I talk all the time about my upcoming trip and all the places I'll see and things I'll do. It's gotten to the point where just about anyone wants to go to Disney after I talk about my happy place.

Hi! My name is Tracy, and I am an addict.

I rotate between my Tink sweatshirt and my Grumpy sweatshirt when I get chilly around the house. The trip is 5 months away and I have everything planned. I love this site, and visit it at least 2 times a day. I ordered the Disney Vacation Planning DVD just to tide me over, and get super giddy every time the Travel Channel plays one of their MANY WDW shows. I have recently began dreaming about WDW, specifically solo trips where I stay deluxe and eat on the DxDP.

I am so happy that it is not just me. My father asks a lot why we keep going to the same place, and I just stopped answering. He will never feel the Disney magic like I do.

Hey, I am an addict and Disney is my drug and I looove it!!!

Ha ha ha, asking for help here is like going to your local pub and telling them you think you have a drinking problem.

If you truly want to cure your addiction, place this website's URL into your computers "banned" list......don't open any magazines as most have ads for Disney trips or products.....keep your television turned OFF during any commercials as half of them seem to be Disney related.....and stay out of the stores because those darn princesses (and probably other characters) are EVERYWHERE.

As you can see it will requite a total change of lifestyle to avoid all things Disney.....you will be required to stay in your home (once it has been decontaminated of course) and not have any outside communication. Have the delivery guy leave your groceries on the front porch until a trusted Disney hating friend can examine them (as many foods now advertise Disney as well). No computers, radio, television or other devices that have contact with the outside world allowed.

For me...it'd be a good thing that I couldn't see or be seen by the outside world....as I'd be dern near naked once all the clothes with Disney on them are removed. THankfully I could wear underwear as Disney doesn't (yet) make them in my size....but no pants or shirts. Wonder if I'd have to give up my crocs or just the Disney Jibbitz? I fear the bare crocs would be too strong a reminder.

Ok, I give up....I'd rather be addicted!


ETA: Just had a grand idea.....we could start a 12 step program, you know like AAA. We could have virtual meetings, say........here would be good.....and we could have an annual convention.....maybe at a different theme park each year. Yeah, A Grand Gathering. Oops...guess that defeats the purpose of 12 step. Ok, instead we'd require people to make a pilgrimage 12 times a year....yea, 12 is good.

On these boards all I can say is join the crowd. We are taking our 11th trip in 11 years in June. We joined DVC about a year and a half ago. I do the Dis multiple times everyday. There are definatley worse things to be addicted to!

I've moved this one over to the Theme Parks community board.

I totally understand. I'm already not looking foward to the day we come back from our trip. I so love reading everything here & the responses are great. I think it will be a wonderful place to relive the magic once I return & till I plan my next trip. (Also, I'm sure I'll go through the "I'm Jealous" stage at some point reading about everyones trips!)
