Weird Things Disney Fans Do That Some People Just Don't Get

[dano4]

Hey guys, have you ever done a podcast discussing the weird things Disney fans do that some people just don't get? I waste time comparing satellite images of Walt Disney World and the Disneyland Resort in Google Maps. I've also recreated my own version of a Disney park in RollerCoaster Tycoon 3. While walking through the parks, I find myself fantasizing about areas where expansion could occur. What weird things do you do (as a Disney fan) that some people just don't get?

My RCT parks always included a hub and a train.

How about getting excited when you think you've used up all the space and yet you manage to add something new creatively using the little space available.

At work, my partner and I pass an excel file back and forth via email trying to create the perfect itinerary.

My sister and I do this.

I price out multiple resorts for a wishful thinking trip all the time and compare them and also do a bunch of calculations to work out if it's worth getting an AP for a single trip (group of 4 adults who will each and drink a lot at "nice" places)

I go to the Disney Store just to get my fix lol, started a PTR well over a year out for our trip , learning about Disneybounding and PLANNING outfits , imagining how we will decorate our Magic Bands that we've already named, and am even now looking at restaurants for meals we won't eat until then. Hmm...sounds kind of crazy when put that way.

This sounds VERY familiar for some reason....

This will be our first trip back since MagicBands were introduced. I haven't been able to try yet, but there's a thread on the theme parks community showing how everyone has decorated their bands.http://disboards.com/threads/has-an...ic-bands-please-show-us-the-pictures.3190181/

I buy mickey jewelry, I am already park planning a 2016 trip I might not even take, I am on a wait list for a Cinderella popcorn bucket, I picked stickers for my bands for said trip I might not take... The list is rather endless...

I like to wear hats. Whenever I visit World Showcase, I try and pick-up a new hat from one of the countries. I prefer the ones that say Epcot World Showcase in small print on the back or side. It hasn't happened yet, but I'm waiting for someone to notice just so I can strike up a conversation with them about Disney.

It is very possible I sometimes wear mouse ears around my house for this very reason. Also I wore ears to my birthday brunch last year. Yes, it was in a restaurant .

I actually look forward to the start of the work week just so I can listen to the WDW and DLR disunplugged podcast.
