Who else gets the Disney bug when a DL trip is coming soon?

[wadisneydad]

I have been a Disney fan since I was a kid. My family and I would visit California to see relatives and on occasion we would go to DL. I loved going to California (we lived in WY), but especially enjoyed it when my parents were able to take my 2 sisters and myself to visit Mickey Mouse. We were able to make it to DL 5 times by the time I was sixteen. After that I had "my own life" and stopped going to Cali with my parents.

By the time I was 26 both of my sisters had moved to California and one of them was getting married. My wife, our daughter and I went to her wedding and I figured that it had been long enough since being to DL so we decided to go. What a great time we had, and I became hooked on DL all over again!

We now have a son in addition to our daughter and will be going to Cali again to visit my sisters. This is our 7th summer in a row going to vsit my sisters and our 4th time going to DL during the visits. I've made Disney fans out of my family and am very proud of that. I am getting really excited as we will be leaving in two weeks and just thought I would bring out some of the pics from our last DL trip to keep me from going bonkers. Here are some of those pics:



And here's a jack-o-lantern I made for the kids (for me really) to show how much of a Disney enthusiast I am:



Who else has to break out the previous DL trip photos and come on this board to keep from getting overly anxious for their next trip?

We will be there in about 70 days for the Dumbo DD race and I am fit to be tied!!! I am watching every "Destination America " Disney program I DVR'd a couple of weeks ago almost on a daily basis. Plus all the Disney Parks DVDs. Ugh....I got it bad lol!

Great work on the pumpkins! I am always dreaming of Disneyland. I planned to not go this year for a few reasons, but then I was feeling so sad about not making it part of my summer plans. But then when I learned about the Iron Man Innoventions exhibit, I found that it would only be on display until Labor Day! Since I am a huge Iron Man fan, I couldn't pass it up! And when I made my reservations, I became over-the-top excited about going to Disneyland this year.

I get the bug bad! Have it now. Leave next Wednesday. First I go camping, we leave tomorrow morning, which I just can not seem to get into. I know it is because I'm so focused on my Disney trip. I have our pin lanyards and ear headbands (too hot for hats) ready. I've also been watching the planning DVD almost daily.
