How do you get WDW out of your head vent

[Cupmom]

Let me start this off by saying I am a teacher who savors everyday of my summer vacation. That being said, our vacation to WDW isn't until 8/15. That is my anniversary and dd's 5th b'day. I love having everyday off with no obligations to do. Its wonderful spending more time with my kids and dh.
Today we went shopping at the Disney Store for our obligatory Disney clothes. Some think I'm nuts, but I like having us dressed "disneyesque."
Of course, spent more than I should have. These disboards, disney clothes, the new disney mobile phone, disney stuff and thoughts etc. are on constant replay. How do I stop thinking about this vacation numerous times a day? I don't think I had the Disney "bug," this bad last year. I guess because it was such an amazing trip last year, that I can't wait for it to start again. With all this said, all of these Disney thoughts will cause my 2 month vacation to be gone in minutes. My dh doesn't want the summer to rush by either, b/c our dd will be going into Kindergarten. I need to replay that 80's commercial over in my head, "Calgon take me away!" I gotta find a good book to read until then. Well everyone, thanks for the vent. See you fellow August disers down there.

Another teacher here!! Spending my whole summer wishing it was Aug 18th so we could be at the the WL. The bad thing is once we get back I have 1 week and it's back to School. I am feeling your Disney pain!!

I hate wishing summer away but the trip is starting to get the best of me!!!

OMG! imagine us all in one room- it would be crazy! the disney energy!

i am sooo addicted i am afraid!

i NEVER logout of the dis boards- i just minimize it b/c you never know when you need to check up with whats going on. i think i may be worse off than some of you b/c i work from home.....on my computer! so i sit here allllll day long and can access the dis boards anytime! i try and make myself feel better by saying-- well, you never take a lunch, if i were in an office i would probably be talking all the time- so my time on the dis boards is OK. ......right?!

i feel bad for DH because i sit here at night and go on the boards (he is watching TV and probably doesnt even notice i am missing!...see another excuse eeek!) i asked him for a laptop just so that i CAN sit with him on the couch while he watches TV- or on the weekends if he is relaxing on the porch and reading the paper. OMG! i cant get enough!

and- another thing i am afraid of is- planning the trip is half the fun. i am not wishing my trip gets here too soon b/c i am afraid i am going to want to go right back! i have been to disney 10 times and it seems like it gets worse after each trip- i get more and more addicted!

for the love of god-- someone help me! ...but why am i asking you guys- you are all as bad as me!

Oh you are all soooo funny. We should start dependency meetings somewhere in Disney World. Perhaps they'd make room for us at the castle, yeah right. I am relieved to see I am not the only one addicted to Disney. The sad part about it is you plan your trips for months or years, then when your down there it seems you go to bed one night and the next morning you're on the depressing ride back to the airport. I am glad you all feel my pain. Hope I see some of you down there. Nighty Night All!

AMEN!!

My trip's not 'til December, and even my kids' eyes are glazing over for all my planning....I'm a vampire in that I look for new blood to talk about my upcoming Disney trip.

Think there's a DA (Disney Anonymous, not the Fred MacMurray "The Shaggy DA") group available somewhere?

I think I'll officially log out so that I can get some of my office work done -- Leaving Friday for vacation to upper Michigan --- how sad is it that I'm packing my Disney planning stuff?

I don't even have a trip in the works (financial constraints) , but love thinking about Disney. I go on the Dis boards for my half hour lunch and get off an hour later. I start browsing at home, and surface a few hours later surprised at how the time has gone by.
I'm always "planning" and hinting to my husband that the first chance we get we need to get up and go again. It was totally magical last time , and except for two little glitches, it was the perfect trip! I always have flashbacks to the three of us walking down Main Street that early morning, and how everything seemed perfect. Even my normal grumpy husband had a good time !
I keep up with everything, and the minute the light is green I'll be ready!

i have been to disney 10 times and it seems like it gets worse after each trip- i get more and more addicted!

OK - This is SO me! I never went as a child and I think I'm trying to make up for it or something!! I get worse with every trip. I woke at 4 am the other morning and could not get back to sleep! And I don't go until August 22nd! I a just busting inside to get there! My DH and DD are getting a good kick out of it though! At least my DH has been more excited about this trip than any of the others. I think he's getting hooked!

And just to comment about wishing away the summer....You know it's impossible to really wish it away! So even if you weren't counting away the days, they would still be passing by just the same...so go ahead and count away and enjoy!!

HA! i woke up this morning around 3:15 am and could not go back to sleep (it always creeps me out when i look at the clock and it reads 3:15....anyone remember amityville horror! )anyhoo- i wanted sooo badly to come downstairs and come onto the boards! whats the difference, i couldnt sleep- so instead of tossing and turning and waking up dh- i would check the boards- but i thought about how pathetic i would be to not try and go back to sleep!

dh and is not a big disney fan, but he still enjoys himself when we go- the other night i said to him "i am sorry you dont like disney" (hee hee- just a little guilt trip about him not being THAT excited) he said- i never said i didnt like it. HEY! to ME, those few words, that is a glimmer of hope that someday he may come around.

i think he does not get excited about going b/c i never give him the chance to do so- since i am always planning another trip when i just got back from the last one! maybe i should give him a disney break! eeeek!

and about wishing the summer away- i alway remember what my late uncle said to me one time when i was younger and i said that i cant wait for summer to get here......he said, "dont wish your life away"

I am so obssessed!!

I also keep the DIS up all day (even though I am suppose to be working).

I carry my Passporter in my purse.

My house is covered with Disney (and most of my clothes too. DH has even started buying Disney clothes).

I talk non stop about Disney. Heaven forbid anyone mention Disney around me; I won't shut up for at least an hour.

I watch Disney programs on the Travel channel over and over again (I have them all saved on Tivo).

I have more Disney CD's and movies than I can count. I listen to Disney music almost every night and watch a movie once a week (sometimes more).

I have already started planning a trip for April AND next November.

So, if anyone can tell me how to stop the madness, I'm all ears (get it? all ears, I crack myself up).

Am I the biggest freak here???
