Ways to know you're obsessed with DISNEY...

[reelmom]

We are going to Universal Studios this time(couldn't pass up the great deal)but are going to MNSSHP on the 17th. The whole vacation planning has been centered around these 5 hours at the Halloween Party. My husband keeps reminding me that this is not a Disney Vacation, but I tell him that 5 hours at Disney is better than a week someplace else.

When you wardrobe is suddenly all green.

When you call to schedule your WL sleigh ride for your upcoming trip and accidently tell the CM that your child is 5 years old (when he is really on 4) because you have spent much of the last week working on a Disney cruise for next year when your child really will be 5. And yes the CM laughed at me when I told her he was only 4.

I know I'm obsessed but it's my husband's fault - he took me there on our honeymoon! After every trip we say "enough, let's take a break" but after a few weeks we start changing our minds again. My kids have caught the virus from me - a whole new generation of DISers!

Your addicted when... For weeks...afterward you say 'last week at this time I was on Expedition Everest'...'Last month at this time I was at Disney studios"... Then after about six months it changes to in "two months at this time I'll be in the Haunted Mansion"...etc.

This is so me! I was just thinking today that 4 years ago this week I was at WDW...70 more days to go.


I know I'm addicted because we haven't even gone on our trip yet and I have about 90% of my scrapbook supplies purchased already. The other 10% is character specific items that I'll purchase when I get home.

I may need the 12 step program...Hi, my name is Jen and I'm a Disney addict...

So True! 3 years ago we planned an all Universal vacation and after 3 days, had to get a one day hopper for Disney and visited our 3 favorite parks in 1 day to ride all our favorite rides...it was awesome.

The power of Disney compells you...

...when you find and accept an offer: $100 for three nights at the ramada and four universal park passes (two days - two people). Then while still in the universal parking lot (the first day) we are on the phone to buy MK park tickets for the next day, instead of using the second day pass to universal.

I knew I was a Disney addict when I started planing trips for DL, WDW and the Disney Cruise for the next 6 years. I have only been to DL.

 

[Not so Dumbo]

when you have to go on anti-depressants after you come back home from WDW because you miss it so much.

When you are planning for 3 different trips spanning over the next 2 years all at the same time.

When the first thing and the last thing you do in a day is check the DIS boards

When you become depressed because all of the DW planning is done and all that is left to do is wait.

I think I have described my DH in a "nut" shell.

When the first thing and the last thing you do in a day is check the DIS boards

That's me We aren't planning a trip for at least another two years, but I still spend any available time

Disney in every room! Yes.. Bedspread, plates, towels, CLOTHING, knick knack, Buzz room for son, even the little "Welcome " fake rock with Mickey on it greeting people at our front door.

How about being so obsessed that your ONLY Christmas decoration is an 8ft tall wreath in the shape of a Mickey head!! Our neighbors love us!

Also, constantly getting excited about retiring (I'm only 33) and moving to Orlando with my DH (duh) to work at WDW. We always think about what we can do when we're old and work there! I'd love to work in a shop on Main Street USA. DH wants to be a monorail driver or a grounds keeper at one the golf courses!! Fun to think about!

Oh.. and checking the DIS boards during my prep time at school instead of grading papers. Ugh

 

[MadfordaMouse]

When instead of driving home to AZ on Sunday morning after checking out of your hotel, you load the car with all your luggage and go to Disneyland one more day (a total last-minute idea), then leaving the park and finally arriving home at 3am Monday while having to get up for work at 6am-- and keeping the kids home from school to "recover" Luckily, I work at home

 

[PaMom001]

You read the Disboards daily and mentally plan a trip that, well, doesn't exist yet.

Wait - is that obsessed, or pathetic ? (or both?)

Could it be pathetically obsessed?

 

[Bama_C]

that it won't happen again. I am the OP and have had a blast reading all these posts again!

...I told myself last year after spending hours and hours reading DISboards and looking at pic after pic of food, that I would NOT be doing that again this year! Well, when the offer came for DVisaCM's to get the free dining in Aug-Sept, I wasted no time calling and getting our 10 night reservation! And, then in a flash I was back to the DISboard again.

It is so great to have this place to come to. My family swore that last year I had more fun planning the trip than I did actually going on the trip. Not true ...but almost!

We listen to Disney music all year, except at Christmas of course ...we watch our trip videos over and over ... we had most of our ADRs planned in about 3 days ...and I still have LGMHPCs to take with us this year!

And now that I am back in trip planning mode.... I can't even get my laundry done for sitting in front of this machine!

Is there a cure??? (Don't tell me... I don't really want one!)

 

[nicoleakr]

when you read all the remarks on this post and they all apply to you!!!!
and that seem perfectly normal (which it is of course)

 

[pixistix]

Family members are so conditioned that we are Disney obsessed, they get us Disney birthday cards, gift bags, anniversary cards. DH sends me e-mail from work and signs it "DH."
DMIL and DSIL hid a magnet on my refrigerator that was a little mickey pop with one bite out of it while we were on vacation in Disney.
We also named our labradors Disney and Tinkerbell. (People laugh when they hear me call "Tinkerbell" to a 65-pound yellow lab )

 

[ldubberly]

you know you are obsessed when you turn www.live365 on your computer at work so you can listen to themepark sounds while you work. Sometimes it even plays the monorail loop soundtrack and I get this warm feeling in my chest.

I have been obsessed for years. We went every few years as a kid, which just began the whole obsession for me. My first watch, given to me by my parents, was a Snow White watch.

After getting married, my DH told me that I would talk about going to Disney all the time, in my sleep. It got to the point that he couldn't stand it anymore and suggested we make a trip. He had never been there and didn't understand (at that time) what my obsession was all about.

That was in 2002 and we are both obsessed now! Most of our rooms have Disney all over the place. When we went on our last trip, in July, we immediately began planning our next trip and we hadn't even left yet. As soon as we were able to book the trip, in October, we did. Considering that we aren't going until December and that was a year and two months after the time we booked, we are definitely bona fide obsessed Disney fans.

These boards are such a help to us addicts!

I see myself in a little bit of all of these posts. I think they are working on a cure, but I'm not sure if I really want one.
