I have a serious problem.....

[TheTizardFamily:0)]

It's still 10 months until our stay at DLH, but it's all I can think about!!!
It's becoming a real problem

I'm already looking at meals etc.......I think I have issues

When DH rolls his eyes at me I play the "we had such a bad year last year I'm just excited card"......but he doesn't understand,

I don't know how to take my mind off the magic!!!

You are not alone. We all know what your going through and together we will help you through this difficult time.

DW and I only returned home from a trip two weeks ago, and we are not returing again until October. But discussions have already stated in our household about which restaurants we would like to try on our next trip.

And don't get me started on the big debate of "shall we go straight to WDS as soon as we get off the Eurostar to try the new Ratatouille ride on arrival or wait and do it the next day at park opening....."

Hello, my name is Clare, and I am obsessed with Disneyland Paris. It's been 31 days since I returned from the magic. (Month ago today, sob!)

I can't stop thinking about it or researching stuff about it!!!

Very lucky though that we're going again in March, and then in October - benefits of the annual passes!! - but I'm already worried about withdrawal symptoms after that trip as we've agreed not to go for a few years due to us planning to try for another baby. Talk about going to any length to combat withdrawal!!

Oh, I do understand you. And I feel so alone at home as no one understands my adiction but the kids and I'm keeping upcoming trip a secret! I can talk about DLP for ages, I love looking and menus and making meal plans over and over again. Lucky me - I'm really busy these days, so not so much DLP daydreaming. But I do have those at night sleep!

I hear ya! People don't get that all I want to talk about is DLP. Some friends (I use the word loosely ) think I should grow up and see more of the world. I'd gladly move to Marne la Vallee.
Have decided against WDW for a while as it would be too much of a commitment to save and therefore too long without seeing DLP.
I also spent more time day dreaming about meals at DLP then on cooking dinners!

I now have a colleague next to me at work who I have converted - she's booking for Feb 2015 shortly, after me banging on about DLP for the last couple of years .

I knew I'd find like minded people here!

My parents and friends think I'm crazy, we've just booked a 10 day holiday to Ibiza a month before DLP to celebrate my 30th birthday, they can't understand why I'm not bouncing off the walls about it but am about Disney.

My dad said the other day that we were "bloody loons" paying £1227 for four nights in hotel, I personally think its a ruddy bargain for the pink palace!

I've tried explaining to my friends that they should just be pleased for me! We had a really bad year last year, we had to cancel our 2013 trip because of poor health, we had a pretty serious car accident, I'm still taking tramadol as a result of the injuries, Steve changed jobs and I gave up work to study, it was just a a very hard, hard year. I'm so excited to be feeling possitive about something

I think my mum is starting to not be so judgy now though, I text saying I know you think we're still big children, and she replied saying she didn't, she thought we were fantastic adults and it's even better that we could embrace our inner child, and to hold onto it for as long as possible .......well mum, I plan to!

Feels fab when you convert someone doesn't it!!

DH has made me promise that once we've had this trip we will have a break and save for WDW, I guess it's only fair, both our boys want to go as does DH, I'd like to but don't look forward to the flight

So, when we agreed on this being our last DLP trip for two years I made him agree that we would do all the stuff DH has rolled his eyes at before, like the cost of eating in Inventions etc, so for this trip there is no budget on spending......I'm so pleased we're driving.....our boot is mahoosive, we're gonna need it!

Well you could board the Disney Magic for a Transatlantic cruise to or from WDW, then you would only need to fly in one direction. Takes 12 nights eastbound or 14 days westbound.

I've though of doing it from Port Canaveral to Spain after a holiday in WDW.

 

[Disneyfanswicklow]

Haha loving this thread.......I too am addicted and yes even with 10 months to go I am so enjoying making plans......thank God for this site!!!!

Really love the helpful hint of the cruise to take the agony out of flying....bahaha

Now that's sensible!! *jotting down to sell idea to hubby at later date*



That's a lovely thing for your Mum to say. You're resilience and positive attitude is great. Enjoy every second of the planning, I know for me its something to brighten any dark days x

& yay for converting the sane into Disney nuts! Although don't go too overboard, don't want the parks too crowded

My best friend just nods her head and says "I think you are happy there. I might not understand why, but you're having time of your life there". And that's all I need my mom tried to convince me to go some place else. So I went to Rome with my brother's fiancee. And you know what? I was sitting in a cafe, next to Colosseum, having wonderful pasta.. and talking about meals I had in DLP Mom is still talking about going somewhere else. She even told if we go some place else, she might go too, so I have some time for myself. Riiiight.... She doesn't know I'm already planing 2015 DLP

 

[bpeacock]

I agree we only came back on the 4th January (will have to get round to writing about it and putting pics on facebook), and i am already planning for our October 1/2 term trip.

Already doing plan for meals and what to do.

I think if someone offered me to do my job in france, I would jump at the chance just to live near Disney., then I would get to go a lot more than just once a year, and could even go by myself for the day (as husband says he hates the place and goes just for me and the kids. I have done Alton Towers with the 2 youngest ones by myself, but I had no one to look after the kids, so I couldn't go on the big rides)

oh why didn't they build it a bit closer lol.

 

[Mum to Belle]

Hello again my lovely!!!

I am so pleased to hear that you have a trip back to Our Happy Place to look forward to again!!! I hope that you are sprinkled with lots of pixie dust Fab price by the way

I too am suffering from Disney Obsessive Thinking and have got my planner on the go already! Including repeatedly measuring DD in secret to see if she is tall enough yet for Space Mountain

Let's hope that 2014 is a year to remember for all the right reasons!

 

[HFJohnson]

Sounds perfectly normal to me, although to be honest I might not be best judge! We've got just over four months to go and I've already spent loads of time planning our trip, but what better way to spend these dark, gloomy evenings than thinking about Disney! Even if we don't do half the things I have planned it's still fun thinking about it

 

[ILOVEDLP]

I have this problem to nobody apart from you lot understand .

We went to WDW last year and I was looking at DLP holidays when we were there

It really is my happy place the magic kingdom is nothing compared to the Disney park, and the Disney park is disney to me .

On my next visit it will be over 2 years since we been to say I'm excited is a understatement .
I tally don't think I can go 2 years again without a visit
