You know you're a Disney Park AND Intercot addict when...

[amd780]

You can actually tell Chip and Dale apart, and you do not understand why so many people can not see the differences.

When not on Intercot you browse Youtube for Disney Vacation Videos.

YES!!! Especially the Chip and Dale thing. I always have to explain to DH how to tell them apart...lol!!!

...when you know the main Disney phone number by heart, but have a hard time remembering the vendor's phone number you call every other day at work

...you drive past a garage called "A.D.R. Auto Body" and are reminded to make your ADRs

...you can find hidden Mickeys anywhere

...most of the websites in your Favorites pertain to Disney

Great thread!

[EPCOT84]

This is going great !! Keep it up !!

Some more ...

You know you're a Disney Park AND Intercot addict when...

You create a YouTube account just to share your favorite Disney park YouTube videos with all the folks on Intercot you never met (I just did today - My channel is IcotFan. The link is in my profile) ...

You now spend time looking for those videos you had favorited under your other account...

The Christmas lights on the houses remind you of the Electrical Parade ...

You start bopping to the tune from the Electrical Parade ...

You write that you are while you're posting on Intercot...

You look for videos and Webshots pictures that remind you of your last trip there...

[PETE FROM NYC]

Too many of the above descriptions could refer to me.Considering that ,due to family obligations,it was eight long years between my last and next to last trips,I was still reading these boards almost daily.Both for keeping current,and putting in my two cents here and there.
I also had to thank the many Intercotees who helped my family and I prepare for our trip last March,so many changes.
We were planning for a return trip March 08,but roight now that seems doubtful for several reasons.First,I am trying to retire on permanent disability,and cannot make any definite plans until that is done.Then my Mom and Sister just got back from the world 2 weeks ago and told me to wait awhile because there will be so much more to see at a later date.
Now,just before I turned on this computer today,DW says to find out about driving down in the coming year and taking several weeks to do it,stopping along the way at some other destinations.
Who knows?
As long as I do not have to wait another eight long years til our next Disney fix.

[Cinderelley]

You're Disney-obsession is spreading at work -
I can now long for school bread at work and have several people drooling along with me.

Almost refer to your family as my DH, DD & DSs in everyday conversation.

Your Creative Memories consultant calls you as soon as she gets new Disney products in.

Your family calls you as soon as anything Disney appears on TV. (My sister called me today about a Disney special on the Travel Channel. Unfortunately, I don't have that channel. I'll have to get it. )

Your DH yells to turn off the TV as soon as a Disney commercial comes on.

Your friends say "How will you survive the next two years until your next trip to Disney?"

Your DH insists on going somewhere other than Disney for vacation, but Disney still follows you. We went to Texas instead, but still heard Disney songs in the Taco Bell we ate at. He should know better.

[IloveJack]

When this thread gets you tickled because it all refers to you...


When you have to edit other emails to keep DH, DW, DS, and DD out of them...

When your students look around your desk and asked "Are you obsessed with Jack Sparrow and Disney?"...

When those same students can't wait to go to WDW and try to "hold the ball," like we did in our PP picture at Epcot...

[Jeff G]

Here are a few of mine.

.....on any given day you know exactly how many days are left until your next trip (284 for me thanks to the Intercot trip counter).

.....even scarier, your kids know how many days are left until your next trip.

....when introduced to someone new you here a phrase like "so your the Disney person I've heard about" or "this is the friend I was telling you about who knows a lot about WDW".

....your email is full because of notifications to Intercot threads you subscribe to.

....your internet is down all weekend so you use your friends just to check Intercot threads (this just happened to me this past weekend).

....while on vacation at WDW you see an answer to "where was this photo taken?" or "where in the world am I?" and you wish you had a computer at your disposal right at the park to post the answer on Intercot.

[NJBelle]

one of the number one reasons that you're looking forward to Christmas is that you are going to spend time with your Dsny nut Uncle and you get to plan your trip.

You dream about Tonga Toast

you teach your little brother to sing the Mickey Mouse march as soon as he can talk

Your internet home page is your count down (259 days, 6 hours and 31 minutes!)

Your Christmas gifst to you family all have something to do with Disney Movies/parks

[goofysbabe]

Ok here is mine:

When you get done with that important project at work and your boss tells you - you need a trip to Disney (that really just happened to me)

Your kids want to play "What's your favorite Disney.... ride, place to eat, show etc. every time your in the car

The only music you listen to is Disney music

When certain people see you and they ask so when are ya goin back?

When your kids come home from the Secret Santa shop at school and slip and tell you mom I picked out a Mickey mug & coaster for you!

[Tink#64]

When you get reminder emails from the Travel Channel that there's a WDW show coming up!

When you go to a beautiful drive through holiday light display and think that the lights at DHS must be so much more beautiful

When you find your self using terms like ADR, WL, AKL, MK etc when talking to people about WDW

When you've been on intercot so many times in one day that there are no new threads

OMG! Yes! I check the TV scene for any WDW shows on Travl chnl before looking for movies! I was talking to a man at work this week about his upcoming trip (his 1st in 30 yrs & his DW's 1st ever). He was so blown away - he got his wife on the phone when I started talking about CS's & TS's & ADR's! He couldn't believe that after he asked me some more Q's & I promptly came home & typed up 3 pages of our fav's in each park, & our fav dining! I took him the info plus a guide book! You should have seen the look I got! He couldn't believe I had done it. I told him no problem, I could talk WDW for hours & I sent him an email with the Intercot info! He hasn't asked me anything else about WDW!

[BelleandtheBeast]

When you are driving you car down the highway and you are pretending to be driving the monorail.

[Mickey 101]

You start to look for favorite repeat posters in Trip Reports to see how their latest trip was.

In your daily life, you are constantly reminded of WDW.

Everyone that knows you thinks you're a Disney fanatic and you consider it a compliment.

People want to go to WDW with you to experience it the way you do.

[cal5755]

When your 4 year old wakes up every morning and asks "How days til Disney now?"

When your 4 year old tells you everyday "Last night I had a dream about Disney ....."

When everyday one of your 3 kids brings up past and/or future trips and plans!!

When you whine to your 3 children how 273 days is too long to wait to go to WDW!!!

When you are driving DD8 to New York for yet another audition and you are thinking - I wonder if HaydensDad next trip report segment is posted and when am I going to get to read it?

I love this thread!! I am having major Disney withdrawls.... I so want to go back tomorrow and not wait til next year... I keep threatening to win the lottery lol and go at every whim!!!

[TiggeRia]

This is a great thread...I found myself chuckling as I read through them because I can relate so well! Anyway, here's one to add....

You know you're a WDW/Intercot addict when you find yourself carrying a notebook around the park to take notes (on what rides you went on, on the meals you ate, etc...) so you remember everything to put into your trip reports when you get home.

[cfoshe]

when you come back to the same post day after day to see if anyone has posted something else to read.

you have a window sticker on your car that says I would rather be at disney.

DS seen a ciniman roll this weekend and wanted it, I stated he could have one on JULY 21 on main street.

you flip through the trip reports looking to see if anyone has posted pics of there trips, before you start reading the reports w/o pics.

[Here we go again...]

You know you are a Disney Park AND Intercot addict when...

Your license plate says "EPCOT"

You post a picture of your license plate on Intercot.

You refer to Mickey as your boyfriend.

It drives your friends and family crazy that you spend so much time in Disney yet they come to you for advice.

You post a new thread asking for advice for your friends first trip.

You wear Disney polos to work every day.

[#1donaldfan]

You actually enjoy going to work because it allows for uninterrupted posting time away from DW and her constant nagging about doing the wash, feeding the cat, paying the bills...silly little stuff that gets in the way of my Intercot time....

This one came straight out of my mind, but someone else typed it.......now if that's not a Disney addict, I don't know what is !!!!

.....or maybe your an addict when you draw mickey heads all over you desk calendar instead of important meetings and things to do.....

[Mackflava99]

-You postpone a morning meeting at work so you can call in and make your ADRs-
( i actually did that)
Your dinner conversation revolves around isues you both saw on Intercot that day ...

[cal5755]

When your 4 year old just busts in your room and says "mommy are you playing big girl Disney again?" lol

When your 4 yr old says "can I go on Disney.com to play when you are done playing?"

I just had to share that ... because my 4 year old just asked that hee hee.

[EPCOT84]

... you check this board after the holidays and realize everyone's been on holiday too...

... you go into holiday withdrawal blues but you know Intercot is there and its time to get back to it ...

[kdsjjb]

...when your wife makes fun of you for using the acronyms during every-day conversations.

...when you talk more with your wife's cousin's wife, then your wife ever did with her cousin

...when you actually quit a good, well paying job that is your primary souce of income, two days before a trip that has been planned for months, because they said you couldn't go.
(Yes I did, and didn't regret it for a minute)

...when everyday, you find something that makes you think of WDW - I could smell that a coworker was eating an orange, and I sighed out loud and said "I can't wait to go on Soarin' in November"

...when you make everyone in the house quiet down when a Disney commercial comes on TV

...when you're a 6' - 3" 255lb former fighter and martial arts instructor, and you don't even care when your dad and brother make fun of you for being addicted to Disney.
