Twelve Step Program

[LisaBi]

My husband just told me that I need to join a 12-step program for my addiction! Come on.... I'm not THAT bad! My last trip to the world was 4 months ago, and the next probably won't be until Sept. 2007. But I WANT TO GO NOW!

Hello. My name is Martha and I'm a Disney addict.

 

[Evil Genius]

Hi Martha!!

I'll join the club, but I'm not going to end this addiction!!

 

[Mouse-n-Mini]

I can't think of a better addiction- it doesn't harm your health

 

[Tjaleks]

I don't have a problem. My dh does. He doesn't "get" Disney. Now with that said, I will like to join the club.

ETA: My dh has also been looking for a 12-step for me as well and has yet to find one.

 

[WaltD4Me]

Sign me up too! I'd get on a plane right now!

I was planning a trip for Nov. 2007, but decided I can't wait that long
and will be going in May instead. -- Would LOVE to do THIS November, but no can do since I just bought a house.......which WILL have a Disney room!

My girlfriend is always making fun of me for always going to Disney, but SHE goes to Las Vegas at least 2-3 times a year...somehow that's ok and I'm a weirdo!

Hi- I am Jen and I am A Disney addict.

DD and I are the Disney-holics in the house- DH is a social Disney-er. He could go once every 5 years and be OK with it. I NEED to go once a year! DD and I have a trip planned for January without DH, and another in November '07 with him.

WDW is one addiction I can totally live with !!

 

[GoofyBaby]

[Evad]

Sign me up as well please. I can't wait to get back to WDW. Thank god for the Dis. boards to help pass the time.

Haha! My friend told me the exact same thing! She told me step one would be a day at the mall with her, she said she would let me pick which mall to go to. The poor sucker didn't know that we would be in the Disney Store 6 (shamefully without exageration) times for a total of about an hour and a half! She has officially learned to let me and my addiction be!

 

[Windy City Heather]

Hello, my name is Heather and I am addicted to Disney. I always have to have two trips on the table or I leave Disney very, very depressed. I currently have 3 on the table.

I need to join. I went to Chick-fil-A with my dad today (I have a point, trust me). He got a Cool Wrap. He always says that this particular Chick-fil-A wraps them the best. When I asked him about it, he said it was wrapped up as tight as a Cuban cigar.

My first thought was that there's a cigar shop with a walk in humidor at DTD. I don't even smoke! I've never been in that store. I just knew because I miss DTD so much that I read that part of UG so often I know it by heart.

Me, too. I thought our Dec. 2005 trip would be our last for many years. The kids were going into high school, I started a second career in education so off-season was out (I would never go in summer), and the money we spent on Disney would buy a small a house.

Then literally, two nights ago I found out my winter break and the kids were the same times--through the 8th of January. Then it hit me.........MY GOSH, the first week of January is a great time to go to Disney!!!! I planned a quick and (relatively) cheap trip to Disney and made my presentation to the wife--we could drive and stay in a value with a AAA discount for $65/night!

She bought it!!!!

So, I went from looking at photos of past trips and dreaming about some day...to planning a trip four months away!

Yes, I'm an addict. My name is Dan.

Hello my name is Tink and I'm a DISahol-Disneyaholic who was born into the wrong family. None of them "get it." My only hope is catching the little ones when they are young, but soon enough, as in my older kids' cases, soon the eye rolling starts whenever Disney is mentioned. Right now, my only ally is my 7 yo DGS. He loves Disney! I have taken him every year since 2002. We just got back a few weeks ago. I can't help but wonder if he too, like the other pod people I live with and am related to, will think they are too cool for Disney some day. I sure hope not. We have too much fun together. The others try to brainwash him, but I still have the pixie dust on my side. As for 12 steps, ok, I can do that. Step 1 is to decide when to go back to Disney, Step 2 is to comb the DISboards for touring/dining etc. tips, Step 3 is to experience the intensely delightful sheer agony of choosing a resort, Step 4 is to start filling a box to pack months in advance... how am I doing?... Step 5...

Hello my name is David, and I too am a card carrying member of this group. See my AP and DDE cards. I also have at least a half dozen or so LGMHs from HD that my DW picked up for me, without any prompting on my part. She loves me!

I can thankfully say that there is absolutely no hope of intervention in my household. The kids cannot wait until the next trip in July, and DW and I could not bring ourselves to tell them that we were going without them for our anniversary until we had another family trip on the calendar.

The remedy to the addiction is to have weekly campfire meetings; all we need is a suitable venue. You know I hear Chip & Dale have a wonderful location somewhere in Florida with perfect campfire facilities. Maybe if we meet there one evening every week we could work through our collective difficulties.

I can't help but wonder if he too, like the other pod people I live with and am related to, will think they are too cool for Disney some day.

Did you say Pod people? Pod people were in an episode of the Twilight Zone. Twilight Zone = Tower of Terror. Tower of Terror = Disney!!!!

My name is Jess and I am a Disney addict. I'd prefer no help at this time. I just come for the free Mickey head ice cream bars.

ps - If responding to dumb questions but reluctant family members, I find that a friendly 'Hey, it's better than drugs now back off!' always does the trick!

I too have become a severe Disney addict. I've always enjoyed Disney (and had a special place in my heart for Donald and Daisy...still do), but the older I've gotten the more obsessed I've become. I've been lucky enough to meet a guy who loves Disney as much as I do. (I think I'll keep him .) Everything hanging on my wall in my apartment is Disney. My kitchen has a ton of Disney stuff. I've got several Disney t-shirts (I am not too old to sport a Mickey tee around town). And as soon as Thanksgiving is over my Disney themed Christmas tree will go up! As far as addictions go, Disney is the best.
