Idaho family loves WDW

[steelheaddad]

I'm a dad of two teens with a DGF we're from Idaho. I grew up going to Disneyland and had always dreamed of going to Disneyworld. Well my dreams finally came true last June (09). We spent a whole week at WDW, I had never even been to Florida. Aside from a couple of little hiccups, We loved it! I think I was more excited than my kids. Now I think I've got a disease. Up until now my only disease has been flyfishing in our beautiful state and visiting Yellowstone but I just cannot get WDW out of my mind. We want to go back again (and maybe again) DGF and I are starting to plan a new trip for early June 2011. Is this normal? Were not rich, I own a portrait studio and DGF is a professor at Idaho State U. We really want to make WDW happen again at least two more times and maybe this coming time add a couple of days at Universal Studios. Were starting the fun of planning and we think were going to do it even better this time. I'll look forward to posting and checking in at Dis Dad Club as we plan our new excursion.

It's an uncurable affliction! We have gone twice in 5 years and I can't wait to go back again! My DD7 is playing in the 3v3 kickit soccer tournaments, and we hope they qualify for worlds in Jan. so we can go back to WDW!!!!

Totally normal. I truly believe that the music on the rides has a subliminal message that makes you want to come back more and more. There is no other way to explain the addiction.

Hope you get to take your next trip. We are not rich by a long shot, DH is an IT guy and I work 6 hours a week as a preschool teacher for minimum wage. Somehow though when it comes down to it we always are able to pull off our every other year trip. If you want it bad enough you will make it happen!

100% normal. Have fun planning.

Howdy Neighbor! We are near Jackson and just love WDW so very much too. We are down to going twice a year now. Other than the outrageous airfare from IDA or JAC Disney is cost effective. We just budget, then save and when we have the money in the bank to pay for everything we book our trips.

Enjoy the planning and WDW, it is magical and so different from our rural lives.

BTW, a room in Yellowstone is more than a moderate at WDW and even more than a room at Animal Kingdom lodge!

Treasure Valley here.. We'd love to go to WDW yearly and sometimes we do make it happen, but for the most part we are every other year goers. Airfare can definitely break the trip - even out of BOI it's super expensive to fly out of Idaho. But I keep my spirits up by planning out our next trip.

Glad you had a great time and I'm sure your next trip will be even more fun for you!

Its great to hear from all of you, thanks for assuring me that were not totally insane. We are getting excited about planning for June 2011. Being a photographer/studio owner Disney is an inspiration for me. I think growing up going to Disneyland helped influence me in being the creative person I am.
Its great to hear from the other Idaho people minivanmom & hunnyjar. You mentioned flying out of BOI we actually are considering this since my kids live in Meridian during the school year with their mom but we'll most likely fly out of SLC again since were in Pocatello and SLC is just a couple hours from us. SLC flights seem fairly reasonable compared with BOI. grumpycadad it think your closer to the defintion when you call it an affliction. mickeymomofthree you mentioned the subliminal music their playing... it must be the reason I've felt a magnetic pull coming from WDW for the past 9 months, in fact I think theres more subliminal influence than just music, the visual messages are even stronger, oh well it feels good.
