Living from trip to trip...

<font face="times" size="+0">
i said to dbf earlier this month... "you know what's really sad? i realized that i have to talk about something Disney related at least once every day. maybe i should try to go just <i>one day</i> w/o actually mentioning anything about Disney."
a few weeks later... i've failed every single day.
this seriously is some kind of crazy addiction. i need help!
(no really, is there such a thing as therapy for this? it just doesn't seem healthy to be this obsessed... i find myself disturbed.)

as far as the trips go, i'm like that about all travel because i'm a travel freak. it's not just WDW trips. i must have at least one vacation planned somewhere... anywhere... or else i go insane. dbf and i haven't had any trips planned for almost 6 mos now, because we're both in between jobs <i>again</i> and can't plan far in advance... and i'm seriously going nuts. and when i go nuts, i surf the DIS and other travel sites more and more often. *sigh*</font>

I also feel the need to have a trip counting down on my Disney Time desktop counter. It just doesn't seem right if the thing is counting in reverse from the last time I was there.


I love the anticipation of the trip almost as much as the actual trip!

Definitely an addict!
I also suffer from OCDD: Obsessive Compulsive Disney Disorder!!! My only treatment is logging onto these boards frequently

DH & I have a trip planned for Dec. 2004, with a Bermuda cruise in June... Then May 2005, October 2005 (3 trips with AP!)
I'm obsessing about remembering to call MS to plan May 2005 while I'm packing to go on our cruise!!! haha

If people think we're crazy, so be it! I NEVER go a day without talking about our DVC trips...

Who ever knew life could be so good!!

I have started a 7 step program...Finished the first four steps (HHI, OKW, BWV and VB) and have 3 more steps to go (BCV, VWL and SSR). Then I have to start the process over!

hi my name is gary and i can't stop going to wdw, that's why i have such a bad case of addonitis, so we go down 3=4 trips a year, dw says i need to stop talking about future trips, just the one on the counter, but actually we only plan to the extent of booking the dvc and plane ressies, we'll go down entire week at a time with no ps at all, i can;t seem to get with the must be somewhere by the clock in wdw, we just liken it to castaway creek, we just jump in the disney river each day and see where it takes us

The problem is that it is just so easy to bring up Disney-related topics, because everything makes me think of Disney news, or the next Disney trip, or a past Disney memory. Visiting there repeatedly only makes this worse; sooner or later, every conversation I have will turn to Disney! So many things remind me of Disney! Luckily I have a Disney-crazed Mom and a few pals who love it too. My husband rolls his eyes a lot and says "Is this turning into a Mickey conversation?" and my best girlfriend says I need an "intervention!"

<font face="times" size="+0">dbf does the same. sometimes when i'm talking to him and notice that he's completely tuned out i just switch over to saying "Disney bla bla bla bla bla Mickey bla bla bla DVC bla bla" the funny thing is when i say "bla bla" that actually gets his attention and then he only pretends to be tuned out. </font>

Ah this group is such a comforting place to be

Like another poster, the parks don't really do it for me any longer although I like to visit them briefly every now and then - but the surroundings, the Florida weather, the early morning mists, the sunsets, the Florida smells, the great Disney accommodation - sigh, these things make me keep on booking those trans-atlantic flights.

Great thread

We currently have 2 WDW trips booked and are waiting to book a third one which is the cruise and 5 days in Disney following the cruise. We feel compelled to always have a trip booked, and always do. Our family and friends are addicted as much as we are so most of the time when we are together a Disney conversation is always started. I always want to talk about it, it makes me feel a little closer, but when I'm working it's hard, those people just don't get it. I feel they just don't know what they're missing. But when we come here it makes it all better. Everyone is just like us.

Hi my name is Scott and I am a DVC addict. I feel like I need to talk to someone. I had been clean for almost five years since that unfortunate fall off of the wagon at the Villas at Wilderness Lodge. I almost had my five year pin when I received the Saratoga Springs mailer last week. Now I am sitting at my desk with all of the paperwork for 100 more points just waiting to be signed. Can anyone help me? Should I or shouldn't I?

Absolutely living from trip to trip! And the anticipation and pre-planning is half of the fun!

 

[MicNut713]

Yes, Yes and Yes.

I can admitt it that I am a Disney Nut. Half the fun of my trips is planning them. My DW use to think I was nuts and now she is just as bad as I am. The last trip I think she was worse...LOL. Our last trip was even more exciting to plan because it was our first trip home. The next trip IM planning will be in December and I can not wait. My parents have not been to Disney in 22 years so it will be like their first time going. So I have trying to think of so many must sees.

I too have called for ressies from my villa. That was kinda cool.

We will have gone for three years straight and will not go in 2005 (point catch up year). I'm wondering if I'll be able to handle it? I was thinking of moving our Nov 2006 trip up to Feb. That would be 16 months between trips instead of 25 - that seems a little more managable to me. But it would throw off the 2 trips with an AP plan.

Lesley...what an adorable baby.

Hello-- my name is Happyreb and I'm a Disney addict! There is something very calming about knowing that another trip will be along soon. There is something doubly calming about DVC and knowing that we will be coming back soon. That alone is worth the cost of points.

Happyreb, you are so right. Congratulations on your DVC purchase and welcome to the Boards!
