Is there Something Wrong with me???

[owtrbnks]

YES, there is definately something wrong with you! You are not normal. You are like the rest of us on the DIS that spend all the time we are not at WDW, planning when we can go next!
RELAX, YOU ARE AMONG FRIENDS!

 

[Merriwind]

Must be them! Just have a great trip!

PS - We'll be at WL courtyard 10/22-10/29. Maybe we'll see you!

Is something wrong with me or them???

Them, definitely! You are fine, don't ever question that again or I'll have to plan a trip down there when you're there to help you clear your mind of the insane thought that it could possibly be you who has a problem. Wait, say it again so I can plan another trip!!!!

 

[legalslave]

Yes, I have to agree, if you have a Disney obsession than most of us do too. I wasn't home three days and I was back on the boards, waltdisneyworld.com and several other sites planning my next trip. I, like you, will be packed fully a week in advance. I will over the next year (I can't go for another year at least) decide what to do differently, where to eat next time, what shows to see, and I will locate down to the millimeter where that darn Belle's Story Time is in the MK. I looked high and low and couldn't find it last week! ARGGGH!

Don't worry, you will have a wonderful time and so will your family. You will be a superstar in their eyes when you are there and have all the restaurants, shows, and adventures planned out perfectly.

If you are on the Fantasyland side of the castle, turn right before the teacups and you will walk right past Belle's story time. It's a little nook on the castle side. HTH.

Okay I just posted the same thing. I plead to being obssessed about Disney but I'm not asking him to be obssessed-just interested!!!

 

[Meezers]

Except for the packing....you are actually quite restrained!

Do you have your schedule and all the menu's downloaded into your PDA?

Have you spent hours tweaking your park days and ADR's?

Has your mother threatened to disown you if you mention this trip one more time?

Welcome my my world!

What are the new discounts??? We are leaving in 6 days and if I can get an upgrade I would love to!! Please tell me who to call and what to ask them!! Thanks!

 

[msndisney]

Check out www.mousesavers.com. They list the discount codes that came out yesterday.

I'm also another obsessive disney planner!

 

[Nevergrow'nup]

I've got the "disney Bug" too!! When I'm not online looking for tips, I'm packing, planning or going to the book store to read which book to buy!! I have 54 days left until our trip with my less than enthusiastic husband and DS12 and DS15 who have no clue we are going!! I keep calling my Mom and telling everyone all the tips and plans I am making. I haven't told my husband many because he is so grumpy about the $$. Oh well, everyone here is ust as excited as I am!!

I was done packing with a week to spare. I have food packed which will surely spoil. I will need to toss it and re-shop, just in case. My house is completely clean, every drawer, closet, etc. Today I dyed my Mickey shirts. What else can I do to make Monday get here any faster?! I have tried to load the van for 3 days now just to make sure everything will fit but my DH is sure I've gone off the deep end. Who packs the van to check and then unpacks for 4 days before they leave on their trip? He sees no value in that!!

Who wants to be normal?! I say, most of the world is "normal" and they are missing out on the joys of planning and experiencing fabulous Disney vacations. If that's normal, I welcome weird!!

My friends do think I'm over the top though. We should start a support group. I'll start.... HI, MY NAME IS CHRISTY AND I’M A DISNEY ADDICT.

If there is something wrong with you, there's something definitely wrong with me! I have made all of our ADRs (getting up and being on the phone at 7:00 a.m. on the 90th day), planned out our day by day intinerary (just which parks, not attraction by attraction), designed the t-shirts - one for each day, including travel day - and we're not arriving until 10:00 pm.!), bought the shirts to transfer the designs onto, making 2 original autograph books, bought the MVMCP tickets (in May), bought the individual "cups" of cereal for in room breakfast on days when we don't have character breakfast, bought name badges for each of us (in April), planned which t-shirt to wear each day, haunt this board even at work, subscribed to TG Mike, was just there in March, have the mousekeeping envelopes made and ready, have plans to design transfers for pillowcases ..... and we are 3 adults (I'm 61), and not going until December!!!! I always plan meticulously, but this is the first time I've done shirts, autograph books, etc. It's been a blast and helps to pass the time until the trip. Another thing that will help pass the time is a ten night cruise coming up in 26 days!!!

If your sister thinks your a freak, then sign me up! I can't live without my daily dose of Disney talk. If that makes me obessesive compulsive disney planner, then great. We all have our quirks, I just happen to share mine with thousands of other people.

 

[danny1649]

Way you think fellow Hoosier,I'm a Disney nut to.Have a great trip and loads of fun and please say hi to the Big Cheese (Mickey) for me.

 

[lucyanna girl]

If this is a club sign me up, please. I start planning a new trip before we even take the present one. People I don't even know call me up and ask questions because they heard from someone that I am a Disney addict.

 

[SamIAm21]

Thanks for the directions to Belle's Story Time! I will find it next time!! I am smacking myself in the forehead because I must have walked past it 20 times! Oy!

 

[AaronandJessica]

Then there is something wrong with me too! I do not have any kids yet, and my husband and I are worse than kids. We have been so excited about dressing up and wandering about the parks. It is too much fun.

I would definitely fit into the "obsessed" category as well! Wednesday is my 90 day mark to make my ADR's, so I emailed them to everyone who is travelling with me to ask if they thought my plans were okay. They all emailed me back and said that they didn't care, they would just do whatever I wanted. I have an entire family that would just as soon not plan anything, and here I am trying to get them to approve my plans!

 

[Philadisney]

everyone i go to WDW with thinks i am nuts too! my DBF & I are taking our first trip there together in may to celebrate his birthday. i am trying to let him make decisions on some of our ADRs & activities (even though he doesn't know much about WDW) but it's hard to bring up becos he thinks its weird that i'm obsessing over it so very far in advance. oh well!

 

[samsmom05]

We just got back a week ago. I was the obsessive planner. The family was ready to ship me away. A funny thing happened on our last day though. DH, Dmom and Ddad all said that they want to go back and could I plan another trip. Heck, DH wants to go for 2 weeks next time. So here I am. My house is falling apart but I am on the boards and happy about it.
