I dont know some peoples perception aye. My dh is bad as me when it comes to liking Disney, but he just can not be bothered taking time to come and post here although he lurkes throughout the day. Anyone see's Gillsfan thats my dh He loves the site and loves the support and friends I have made.

I don't get this reaction since no-one really knows I DIS. However, I believe that it's probably because they have no friends and they are envious of you..

Perhaps can get the Tag Fairy on them? That'd shut them up..

I really enjoy posting as some have realised this week !! (I just like getting to know new people, thats all).

We are who we are, and we can 't help it !

 

[ely3857]

I hope you've had a better day today Michelle

I don't really get this so much, My work colleagues and friends are all well aware of my addiction but when you dig deep they've all got something 'isane' in thier closet!

Gavin used to think it was freaky but he is now well aware that the stuff I learn from this site is invaluble to a good holiday and of course it keeps me occupied on an evening so that means less nagging time!

Hopefully my partner Stephen will one day come to value what I get from reading these boards. You have NO idea what I had to do to get him to agree to us all going to Disney this September - he was born and brought up going to Spain for his holidays and it was a real stugle to get him to do anything else

Hopefully he can't tell how much time I have spent on here today - he would have me locked up in the looney bin lol

Deborah - You will convert him!

 

[Kevin Stringer]

But my partner sais that you lot are a bunch of saddos with no friends - he thinks that's why you post on here so much.

Deborah

Strangely, I find the opposite to be true. As well as 'cyber' friends I must have met close to 100 different people over the years at various DIS Meets.
Some of these (the unfortunate ones ) are now amongst our closest of friends.

If you use this community to it's fullest, you will find something that can enrich your life and provide you with a lot of fun at the same time.

I totally agree with you Kevin - I am enjoying so much all the interaction with everyone on here.
You lot are the best !!!

Admittedly you are all "cyber" friends to me at the moment, but hopefully in the future I will get to meet a few (if not a lot) of you guys !!

...My work colleagues and friends are all well aware of my addiction but when you dig deep they've all got something 'insane' in thier closet!

Exactly!!! For example, my closest friend never uses more than half her annual holiday entitlement - now that is insane!!! I do get a fair bit of stick from my friends but its more because I plan so many holidays rather than the WDW destination specifically. My DS21 has a giggle at my expense about being a part of the DIS community but he's a student so what does he know...?!

Oh.My.God.

I cannot believe anybody in this big wide world would not take thier full annual holiday entitlement

i know exactly what you mean! it took me 5 years to get my dh to go to Orlando for a holiday instead of the med, it took him 12 hours of being there to start planning about our next trip and which hotel he wanted to stay at, and we hadn't even got to a themepark yet

He gave up moaning at my internet obsession when he realised how much info i was gaining for our holidays.

Hey hun,
sorry you had such a bad day the other day All my friends know that if they are my friend then disney is one big part of that, and most of the time it is jealousy that i am still able to recapture the happiness of my childhood in such spectacular fashion. No one understands why i am willing to put up so much cash for what is esentially my main hobby, but when i break it down for them and show them how reasonable it is compared to a package to the med, they calm down a little. I also think that because of my disney loving ways it makes me a more sensitive loving caring kind of person, with a big softy side, and that i maybe wouldn't be such a nice friend without this passion.
then again there are times when i just have to curb my enthusiasm too, although these are few and far between. Love me, love my disney lovin ways i say.
And if they don't get it, or are not willing to accomodate it in me, then they really aren't the sort of person i want to hang around with. Just wait and see till you bring the pics back from August, it will be the green eyed monster for sure.
