This Board is bad for me!

[off2disney]

I usually get home about 10:00 or 11:00 p.m. from work, and used to check email, surf a little and get to bed about midnight. Since I started planning my solo trip in December, I have gotten hooked on this board. I have found a lot of unknown (to me) facts about the parks, resorts, attractions, etc. But it's going to be the death of me! I can't get up in the mornings because I'll start reading some of the threads, and the next thing I know, it's 2:00 or 3:00 a.m. I guess I'm going to have to set out a timer or alarm and limit myself! But if I do, what am I going to miss?? some of the threads send me ROFLOL, some make me mad, some just confuse the heck out of me. Oh, well, I'm tottering off to bed, but I'll be back tomorrow!

Sorry the board is keeping you from sleeping, but we are very glad that it is helping in your trip planning.. What a compliment!!!!I am sure all the posters and mods here appreciate it...

Isn't it great? And what a feeling after you start off as an amatuer asking stupid questions, and after a certain number of posts, you are a certified "Disney veteran!!!"

The week before our last trip, I was on here every spare moment I could find. It's addictive!!!

Reading these boards is the BEST thing for your trip!

The tips and *inside info* that you can get here can help you plan a great trip. I've found that we can do and see more in less time now that I've *researched* a bit more.

Reading these boards is also great for your post-trip sadness syndrome--you know that really miserable feeling you have when you get back home I spend waaaay tooo much time on these boards when I should be working

I'm sleeping ok, but these boards are having an adverse effect on my wallet!!!! I started visitng daily again to plan my family's big trip in June of 2005. I now have a trip planned for August of this year and June 2004 as well as my trip in June 2005!!!!!

Whenever I'm on the computer at home, my husband tells our 3 yr. old son that "Mommy is at her second work place talking to all her Disney friends and soon her hands are going to be permanently attached to the keyboard because of all the time she spends on the computer."

 

[Dee & Greg]

wrong! At work we are on a LAN system, so it is so fast, and on all of the time. Well today I have found Live365, and now have the Disney Themeparks music playing constantly... it's like being there! I just heard the music from SpectroMagic and the entire soundtrack of haunted mansion, as well as verbage from the monorail ("on your right you will see Disney's Grand Floridian Resort"). It is wonderful! I feel like I'm in the parks! Best is that I can also be on these boards at the same time!

Dee & Greg,

What is this about listening to the Disney Theme parks music?? I have seen other posts about something like this.
I don't understand. Is this a radio station or a web site?

Can I get this in upstate New York ? I have WebTv at home, NOT really a computer. I use the DIS message boards at work, however, our computers do not have a sound card to *listen* to web sites.

Can you ( or anyone else ) give me info on this ?

 

[StampMom]

Another addict here! These boards are the next best thing to being there!! I come here to get my Disney "fix" as I count down the days until our next trip!

Also, another great thing about these boards is that they let me know that I'm "not crazy," or at least if I am, I'm in good company! No-one I know in "real life" can understand why/how I could already be seriously planning for a trip that's 8 months away! (If they only knew, I'm also already thinking about the NEXT trip after that, LOL!)

sleep? Who needs that when you have us ha ha

I wish I limited myself to nights. I am obsessed -- checking ever half hour or so at work!

 

[sm4987]

LOL. I started really reading in November. I am up to almost 600 post since that time. It is great, but I know how it feels to lose sleep. I sometimes forget what time it is too spending so much time on the boards. Oh well, I know that when I go to Disney, I will be more prepared than I was the last time.

 

[crazymomof4]

I'm so tired I can barely focus on the words on the screen but here I am jumping from thread to thread. I jump on during my breakfast and my lunch each day and then again at night.......it's bad! My kids and husband laugh but I keep telling them that they will reap the rewards of all of my research.

 

[JOC]

Crazymomof4,
I'm right there with you! Whenever I try to tell my husband how the planning is going for our vacation, he gives me "that look" and says "Just tell me where to be and I'll be there."

Solo trip? I <b>love</b> solo trips. I made four solo trips last year.

We even have a forum, here on the DIS for kid free and solo travelers. It's a sleepy and quiet little board but it's growing. You will find it <b>HERE</b>

I love the DIS, I came here to plan a trip in March, 2000 and I never left. I think I'm addicted

And I know these boards helped make me one!
I wish I could post more often here, but I own/moderate another BB so alas there aren't enough hours in the day, I do have to sleep! I just wanted to thank everyone who moderates here for doing such a great job! Love these boards!

 

[Piglet203]

I LOVE the DIS boards!!!!!!!!! I have been addicted for a couple years now. It's such a great way to keep up to date with WDW topics. In the months leading up to my trip last May, I spent many hours posting and reading information! It's not always to learn more, but because I just LOVE to talk Disney. It's great to have a place that has other people that love disney as much as me.
I also love to come here to talk disney if I miss WDW. It hasn't even been a year since I last visited, but I'm missing it so much. I don't know when the next time I'm going so coming on here and reading info makes me happy. I don't know what I'd do without the DIS

 

[LUVDVC]

Well, just WHO ELSE could understand any of this except the people on this board? I have not a single friend who works at holding onto the Disney magic while planning the next trip to WDW. When I read posts on these lists, I realize that there are others like me. These boards keep me going between trips. Thank you all!
