We found a new kitten (now we are a 3 dog, 2 cat and 2 fish family)and DD5 named it Belle so now we have our 2 disney cats Princess Aurora and Belle............sigh will it ever end?princess: :crazy:
 
I know my 4 year old DS is a true Disney addict (just like his mom). He watched the planning video over and over again and pours through the Birbaum guide every day. It's funny because he's the one the non-Disney friends kept telling me that he wouldn't even remember our trip last year and it was a waste of money to take him. LOL!
 
When your two year old begins several conversations a day with the line, "Mom, you know my favorite ride?"

And sitting at dinner or whenever if mom says, "OKay, we are not going to talk about that anymore." And at least one of the children chimes in, "let's talk about Disney World."

We tell them that for our next vacation we are going to do a beach vacation and it will probably be a couple of years before we go to WDW again and they are shocked and appalled. This is truly beyond their comprehension! Except the 8 yo who is convinced we will just wake her up one day and tell her we are going. (We have done that twice before, so she is sure we will again!)
 

dd(4) has made up 'games' for the car where we describe a ride and she has to guess which one it is. She hasn't been to WDW since she was 14 months old! But, she has watched the sing along videos and the planning video and poured over pics on the internet and from our trip over and over.

She also spends her time interviewing us about our favorite rides and then telling us why she is or isn't going to like them.

dd (nearly 2) has just learned to say Mickey, Donald and Goofy. She adores the planning video and squeals at everything disney.

This trip in November is going to be so wonderful! Oh boy, tearing up already, better remember to pack some kleenex! I'll be crying those tears of magic a lot!
 
It's good to see my DD5 is normal...at least to us 'Disney Addicts'. She finds hidden Mickey's EVERYWHERE. Give her anything with three circles and she'll find a Mickey. She also asks "Do you know my favorite ride?" alot. It's Splash Mountain, and then Big Thunder Mountain Railroad. On our last trip we spent a lot of time running back and forth between the two.

We also have a kitty named Belle, after the Princess. princess:

Every time we get a 'yellow card' in our post office box (meaning there's something too large for the box) she thinks it's Disney sending me something. (Okay, maybe I do order from them too much :teeth: )

And I love it when she says, "I want to go to Disney again!" That's music to my ears as DH is more likely to say "Let's go" if DD5 says SHE wants to go.
 
I've got one here too! My 3yo DS talks about Disney repeatedly.

Since returning from our Feb. trip, he says at least once a day, "let's go ride monorail, train, bus.... See Cinderella's castle!" or "I go ride Buzz (or teacups, or carousel, etc)".

He's worn out our old Birnbaum's guide looking at & naming his favorite characters & rides.

He makes his own hidden Mickey's! His last few have been out of Kix cereal, grapes, and unbaked cinnamon rolls (while helping me start breakfast).

And the one that gave my DH a big smile - " That's the way to Disney World" as we passed the intersection about 1.5 miles away from our house where we turned to start our road trip this past February!

Who says the little ones won't remember a thing????
 
Too cute!! Sounds like your cats need a Prince Charming.


StephMK-
She'll run out of princess names after 2 litters!
 
We also played the "what ride is this game" while waiting in the ER last week (youngest DS broke his arm). For once even DH was getting in on the act and youngest DS5 knew quite a few answers. I'm creating monsters and loving every minute of it. Now if I could only talk DH into DVC??!!
 
My kids have never been to Disney but still they love Disney and DD3 even named her brand new kitten Cindy and wanted to name brothers(5) Prince. As she did not know any of their names of the top of her head! It was too cute.
Same DD3 sleeps with a very large minnie that we bought at sams club last christmas and it is twice the size of her. I have to hug and kiss minnie every night and she giggles with delight. She will not go to sleep without this huge minnie. That creates a nice how do you pack her sleeping friend problem but by the time we go she may be over having to sleep with her. Although secretly I am hoping she still loves and cuddles minnie in a few years. :( Wishing we would have planned better and made Disney more of a priority years ago.
DS5 swears that hook is up stairs every now and again and runs screaming and giggling that he is going to go fight the cod fish. :hyper: I love seeing all the joy a little Disney magic brings to an ordinary day around the house!!
 
This kid is Disney crazy!! Okay, he comes by it honestly, DH and I are both Disney freaks. Our parents think we're nuts, and that we're brainwashing him. Hey, there are worse forms of abuse, don't you think???

He finds (and creates) hidden Mickeys; he can tell you every character of every animated Disney movie ever made; he talks incessantly about the rides and other attractions at WDW; until we misplaced it (have no idea where it is), he watched the planning video at least twice a day~we're ready to order a new one, we're suffering withdrawals. He builds castles and monorails with his Legos. (One day DH and I built a Contemporary, complete with monorail running through! We're like Peter Pan~we're never growing up!) We have some discussion about Disney, in some form or fashion, every single day. Like I said~there are worse things we could do as parents!!!
 
My dd3 named herself Princess Fiona (I guess she likes the movie Shrek) and named me Princess Ariel. Also, I was listening to a Disney Classics CD this morning on the way to drop dd off with her grandparents. After the Mickey Mouse Club theme song, she said to me, "Thanks for that song, mommy!" I said, "Oh, you liked it?" She smiled a mile wide and said, "YEAH!" She just cracks me up sometimes.
 
When your 11 yr old dd uses alphabet magnet letters to write

"DISNEY MOM" on your refrigerator!!! Gotta love it though.:p
 
My 5 yr old tries to find hidden mickeys at home depot. She also asks when we're going back to WDW at least twice a week. She wants to move to Florida, NOW!!!

My 11 yr old, on the other hand, thinks Disney's overrated and doesn't want to go back. "What WDW AGAIN? Can't we just go to the beach like normal people." She wants to move to Florida, NOW!!!, too, but only along the coast.

My DD doesn't want to go anywhere until he's there and then he says "I'm glad you made me come"

I Love WDW, the beach, the mountains, Europe. In fact, I'd rather be anywhere but here.
 
When you suggest a trip to Europe to your DD16 and DS14 and their reply is, they'll go but only if they can still go yo WDW this summer. I think I have done a good job, LOL.
 
When your 3 year old thinks the only reason Daddy goes to work every day is to make dollars for Disney World!!:rolleyes:
