Glad to know I am in good company. We are going to Disney in April. We are planning a summer vacation to Canada and all I keep thinking is... I really want to go back to Disney!!! But I think once we arrive at our non-Disney locations it really won't be that bad 
), and then in October we are going to Williamsburg Virginia with my parents, then in January we are going back to Disney for my DH's birthday. I am not even thinking about the Williamsburg trip even though I and DH have been there many times and we really do enjoy going (we are going to show the girls that there are more to vacations than just Disney), but for some very odd reason I can't get the Disney trips out of my head.....Hi my name is PoohsFan1 and I am a serious Disneyaholic and very proud of it! 
If I go back to Italy...I would probably ONLY go to Florence. I agree with pp.... FLORENCE was amazing and we didn't spend enough time there.
I love Disney and DVC but Italy in the flesh , not Epcot's Italy, but the real Italy! Wow, how lucky you are! Surely you can muster up some enthusiasm, come on give it a try, I bet you'll get something much better than Tutto Italia when you get to Florence! and you know, F & W comes around every year.
Yep, you are definitely not alone. We have our May trip to WDW already planned (we are now just counting down until we go
We live 1 1/2 hours from Hershey Park, about that from King's Dominion, 3 or so hours from Busch Gardens and ONLY our dd has been to Busch Gardens and that was when she was a baby/toddler, but she has been to Disney 18 times. 
Our kids are 20, 17 and 12 now. 
That being said, I would love to go to anywhere overseas as I've never been. So, enjoy for all of us!
To complicate things we are planning to go to Hawaii and DL in 2012!! So I understand... I am DESPERATELY trying to figure out a way to get to FL sometime in the next year!! It may be that we will have to buy those crazy expensive Premium bi-coastal whatever they're called AP's to do it....I just can't stand the idea of waiting until 2013 to go back to WDW but we have to get thru this trip to Europe first before I can figure it out!!!!!!Well, we cannot go to WDW this year at all because we're going on one of the DCL Med cruises in August...while I am soooo looking forward to another DCL and our 3 stops in Italy (which I KNOW will be FABULOUS) I am still having a hard time dealing with the fact that I don't know when we'll be back to FL and this month is one year since our last trip down there!!! On our trip this summer we are spending 4 nights in Paris and have planned 1 night / 2 days at Disneyland Paris to start the trip out and to get some more "Disney fix" but I am afraid it just won't be the same!! And I miss my Owners Locker!!!
We miss WDW when its too long between trips too, but I would take that itinerary in a heartbeat!
I know this trip is going to be awesome it's just that we'd gotten used to going down to WDW 2 or 3 times a year with the AP's...now with no end in sight it just feels so SAD or something!!
I for one won't be eating any insects, but sampling pasta and wine.
Thanks for all the understanding and words of encouragement too. I did spend some time with the guide books. Do you know Rick Steves actually tells you how to say "I eat only insects" in Italian?
It'll be a good trip and DH and I will be back in Disney in May and November -- living part of the dream of F & G and F & W in each year.
AnalAnnie: I'd love to do the cruise with Disney, and see DLP. You have great travel plans.
Plus we did the GRAND TOUR so we were moving all the time. We stayed in 5 hotels..it was exhausting. I loved St. Francis of Assisi too. 
My least fave was probably Venice and parts of ROME.
Oh yeah we enjoyed Pompeii too. Looking back...there were many things we liked about Italy but we went with a high school tour group....it was a whirl wind. UP VERY late each night, up VERY early the next morning. We had to be on a schedule for everything. That got old fast. I think if I ever went back to Italy..it would NOT be with a high school tour group.
I love WDW as much as anyone, but there is a great big wondeful world out there beyond it. Try to enjoy it, you might regret it if you don't let yourself appreciate it.
