I just got back from a lovely week-long trip to WDW and since I won't be back for another 2 years or so, I thought I would come up with ways one can capture the feeling of WDW at home.....

10. Put a FastPass machine in front of your bathroom

9. Start pushing a huge stroller around the house, occassionally bumping into members of your family.

8. Call your spouse or parent to make a Priority Seating for dinner that night (then call 3 or 4 neighbors and make PSs there as well so you have all options covered)

7. If the kids want to talk to you, tell them you are available at 1:30, 2:45, 3:30, and 5:00pm and that they should arrive a half hour early.

6. Start parking your car a few blocks away and have your kids "Big Wheel" you to your car

5. Start calling your car Test Track and tell the kids if they want to use it, they need to wait 45-70 minutes. When that time is over, tell them the car broke down.

4. Legally change your wife's name to Kryssa and make her say "I'm getting fish and chips in ENG-land" every half hour.

3. If there is a room you want to keep private, put a sign saying "Stitch's Great Escape" outside the door and that should keep folks away (at least after one visit). (sorry Stitch fans)

2. Every time you buy food, toss an extra $20 on the counter.

1. Wrap your pets in Christmas lights and have your own SPECTROMagic at 9:00 and 11:00.
 
Too funny! :rotfl:

When I want to capture the feeling of WDW, I pretend that I'm at the resort and refill one of my many mugs. It's just not the same, though. I don't have a soda dispenser at my house

Yea I've missed disney since I left :(. I say start randomly getting in line for mudane events, like going into classes at school, entering the mall, etc. I bet you'd get a lot of weird stares! You may also kindly ask, "do you know what the wait time is for ____?"

WAY TO GO!!!! You gave me chills AND have me rolling on the floor. My dog is looking at me like I am crazing right now, and that's only because I am contemplating wrapping him with Christmas lights!!! :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:
 
BTW, I just copy and pasted this so I can print it out and post it in my locker at work :teeth:
 
Great ideas!!! :rotfl: Thanks for the laughs! :rotfl2:
The day after we got back (this past Sunday) my DD and I were in a long line to check in her luggage for her 8th grade trip to D.C. I was asking where the "FastPass que" was :confused3 ....got a lot of laughs. :rotfl2:

I'm so sad :sad1: already planning a Thanksgiving trip to pick me up.

These had me laughing so hard that I had to call my parents! I hate the wait for Test Track. And Stitch is possibly the biggest waste of money ever, Stitch fan or no Stitch fan that's just horrible. Every time I buy food at college it is like throwing an extra $20 on the counter. And oh my goodness the last one made me laugh the most - SpectroMagic!!! My favorite parade! I could just picture my two basset hounds, Maggie and Elvis, all dressed up in lights walking around. :)
 
This is too funny...and sooo true!
Thanks for the huge smiles!
