You know you've been Disney-fied when...

[Pig Pen]

.... when you & your DH are in your 40s and empty-nesters, yet fight and scratch your way to the "Finding Nemo" DVDs at the Wal*Mart sale;

...when you go to the new authentic Mexican restaurant in your hometown and exclaim, "This is decorated great! I feel like I am in Disney World!" (not Mexico, but Disney World).

...when people start buying you Disney everything...pajamas, t-shirts, birthday cards, etc.

...when you read a thread like this and it makes you feel normal!

DD1 sits at the bottom of the stairs the day you get back and says "Daddy I'm so sad, I want to go see Mickey"

DD2 gets excited when potty training because you talk about Pooh She still doesn't quite get it....

1. When you argue w/your 9-year-old daughter that "it's MY turn to wear the pin-trader necklace today."

2. When you fantasize about wearing Minnie ears while walking around the parks, (but don't, at DD's request. She would have LOVED for me to wear them when she was 4!)

3. When you play 'Disney's greatest Volumes I & II' CD's in your car instead of listening to the radio.

4. When you arrive home from Disney and start planning (airline schedules, Disney specials) your next Disney vacation.

Amen to that!!! I hve a 6 disk changer in my car, and 5 out of the 6 CD's are Disney. The only one that isn't is my hubby's Manheim Steamroller CD, and he had to tke out Aladdin to put that in!!!!

*While giving tours to your family and friends of your new home your suddenly aware of the disney art on the walls, the glass slipper on the fireplace mantle, the kids bathroom done entirely in Mickey Mouse....

*Suddenly the people who roll their eyes are calling you for Disney advice!!

*All your christmas baking is either in the shape of mickey heads (with Santa hats) or sprinkled with Mickey head confetti

I think I really do have a 'Disney Disease'

 

[mom2of2]

when he can whip out the MK map and show people where to stand to see Tink fly!!

Does it sound nuts that the new Magical Gathering commercials gets me all choked up? When they lift that baby...

You know your Disney-fied when the only shows left on your DVR (digital video recorder) are Disney resorts on Great Hotels and behind the scenes of WDW, & the Animal kingdom. We watch one a day.
And check the travel channel daily to see if any new shows will be coming on!

 

[BriarRose59]

. . . when a trip for 80 is planned by your daughter's drill team and a lot of the parents are calling you on the sly to help them pick which parks on what day and what is a PS anyway? Do we really need them? And those who did not believe in what I had to say did not get to do all the activities, eat in the great restaurants, see the shows, etc. that those who listened got to do. I was dubbed Disney Diva on that trip.

. . . when the wife of your husband's co-worker calls from the airport on their way to WDW terrified that she has not made enough reservations and heard I was a Disney expert. Could I help?

. . .when I am relating to and enjoying each and every comment on this thread!

 

[DisneyObsessed]

This is a rofl thread. I"M NORMAL.

Almost all of my cds in the car are Disney.

My entire wardrobe (right down to my socks) is Disney.

When I put onions on my sandwiches, I put three in the shape of a Mickey head.

 

[MLAinVA]

The onions in the shape of Mickey's head is just too funny. Thanks for that one! The others are great, but the onions made me LOL!

 

[Micheme]

You know your disnifed .... when you scour the internet looking for cool winnie the pooh pics to stick in your signature!!!

I think I can go one better - When you faux-finish a hidden Mickey in you house! I put a hidden Mickey on my rag-painted kitchen wall!

sk8ingmom--that's awesome!! You're giving me some ideas for my new house. My DH will be so pleased!!

You know you've been Disney-fied when...

Your mother bribes you into visiting her in Phoenix by saying she'll take you to Disneyland for the last 3 days of your visit.

I had the air/hotel/parkpasses booked with-in 3 days of her asking me to come out.

Are you driving from Phoenix to DL? How far is it?
I'm getting ideas in my head in case LSU ends up in the Fiesta Bowl.

 

[The_Disney_God]

At any point in the day, you can feel what park you want to be in.

You miss the stupidiest, silliest thing in Disney.

Things aren't Disneyfied enough for you.

 

[celebrate life]

you know when....

Life just gets "TOO MUCH" , and you begin fantasizing
about leaving it all behind!

and decide that the only thing to do to repair your sanity is to
head to WDW. (In person, because the books, movies, music,
travel photos just aren't enough). You need an adventure for
40 days/40 nights to soak up the atmosphere and replenish your energies....

I'd drive 2500 miles in winter, pitch a tent at Ft. Wilderness
(Couldn't afford anything else for 40 nights), get rained on, leave my family behind (they could always visit, and there is e-mail -
Disney Quest here I come), and just People watch as the magic captures so many.

The bills will get paid somehow. I'll find a new job somewhere
when I return to reality - but for that brief moment in time - I will be transported to "Neverland", and those memories will carry me through the heavy days of life once again.

and YES! I am a Disneyaholic.
I really don't know why?

I rip into the latest Disney travel video/DVD. (while I was wondering why it took so long to get to me?) Of course I watch it on the sly, before I watch it with the family.
I have a HUGE Disney travel library. (Began giving relatives my copies of early editions...I have to keep up with the latest you know).
I scour the Travel Channel to find episodes on WDW. (I do think about actually figuring out HOW to record these things while at work. I need to get into the 2000's, my kids have to show me how to use the THREE remotes properly).
I "overload" relatives and friends on travel advice - till their heads swim. And my Husband asks WHY they seem to be so confused.
I go to sleep at night with images of the Castle changing colors
like a rainbow, and being the LAST people out of the Magic Kingdom park while having a vacuum cleaner/sweeper machine following us.
But, most importantly, I can hardly believe there are other Disneyfied people out there just as crazed as me..........Cheers to you!
If it weren't for those on this board, I really would think I had lost it.

angey77,

I sent you a PM but just in case...

You asked about getting from Phoenix to Anaheim. My mom and I are flying, SW has tickets for $98 round-trip, the flight is about an hour. I'm not sure what the drive is, but I'd guess between 5 and 7 hours. We don't have the time or inclination to drive, so we're flying out. Then mom can fly herself back to Phoenix and I can head straight back home to Chicago.

Hope this helps!

 

[angey77]

Thanks Chicago526!

Here is another one:
You know you've been Disney-fied when your new nightmares entail you supposedly going to Disney and you never make it there or you can't remember what you did!

 

[disney2003]

You ask your co-workers "Guess who's birthday it is today?" And they look at you wondering who in the office they forgot that it was their birthday. Then after a brief pause you happily respond "MICKEY MOUSE!"

And of course they walk out of your office shaking their head and mumbling something like "You need help!"

Glad to know I'm not the only Disney fanatic out there!

 

[tmq2766]

OK OK How about when you look at the clock and figure out what tim it is in Florida and think to yourself Wow only 1/2 hour till the Parade in the Magic Kingdom........

I also had to add that we were there last week and while walking through AK there was this guy behind us who thought he was pretty smart and he points at the Tree of Life and tells everyone that he is with that the tree ahead of them is called "The Living Tree". I looked at my DD9 and whispered "As opposed to the dead tree"..... That was our joke for the whole vacation.
