is anyone else completly obssesed?

[disneymomma2010]

I decide a few weeks ago that we were going to go to wdw at the end of october. Ever since then i have been a bit obssesed. I think about it all the time, and in my sleep. I spend alot of time on the disney sites. I can hardly plan for normal life in the near future because i cant quit planning for my disney trip 2 and a half months away! Does disney do this to everyone or am i being crazy?

You are NOT alone! From the second we have the official ressies, I am obsessed... dining reviews, resort photos, hopping around the intercot forums reading what I can.

I honestly enjoy PLANNING a Disney vacation almost as much as I enjoy being there! It's so much fun!

[Disney4us2]

For me obsessed is mild. It is more like consumed. I have been consumed with planning long before I knew if I was going to even be able to go. Now that I know we can go, I have 3 trips planned. YIKES

The one in December 2010 is almost paid for. I just put a deposit down on our April spring break 2011 trip. Then still planning for our August 2011 trip.

I even obsess over missing a Saturday at Disneyland

You are certainly not alone!!

Our trip is not until October 2011 and I am totally obsessed about planning every aspect of this trip.

I am also the matron of honor in an upcoming wedding and I can barely devote myself to my duties because I am so busy planning my Disney vacation that is 14 months away!!

My first trip was in Oct 07 and ever since then I have gone 2 times a year. My last trip was may 2010 and now I already need another DW fix. I want to go in Nov. to see the Christmas decorations. Haven't seen them in person yet. This will be my 6th trip and I just can't get enough of my HAPPY PLACE...

I can relate. I've been obsessed since we first took our daughter back in 1995. She was 5 at the time. We've gone every year since (most years multiple times). We have 2 trips planned and hoping on a third.

[Briansmom]

I can relate....I have been obsessed since the Magic KIngdom opened in 1971...I was 11 and lived about an hour away. I had to depend on visiting company to get my 'fixes' as I was growing up.

I love planning a trip for our family for my fun but it's really fun to talk to my special DS12 about it when the trip is getting close. He's just like his mommy! And DD23 is just like me as well! Every day I am checking Intercot, on the Disney site and in my spreadsheets making more lists, plans, changes, etc!

As far as I'm concerned...this obsession is completely normal!!

[akaDisneyDreamer]

Maybe it's an obsession, but you are in good company here! I am in the final days counting down to our trip and am checking every detail and it's all looking good! We have our ADR's and parks planned for each day, what we hope to accomplish for each day (rides, shows, etc.) and I feel at ease about it, not stressed, so it's a good obsession! I've been doing this for months as we booked this in early April and we are ready to roll! 2 more days!

[disneymomma2010]

thank goodness! i have been driving my husband crazy! now i can tell him i am just normal! i am just very excited because i decided to take my twins for their bday (will be 7) and i got their mamaw, aunt, uncle and cousins to go too. i want to make sure i know everything this time and i want to make the experience the best that i can for their bday( as if being there isnt enough!) i am so glad that there are others like me that can only handle their responsiblities half way because their heads are always in the clouds too thinking about disney!

[darthmacho]

I'm obsessive about everything, so you can imagine how i get about WDW. I've been lurking on these boards for nearly 10 years, waiting for my chance to blabber about my trip...

6 Days as of this post!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You are not alone!!

My children have signed me up for Intervention!

We've gone the past two years (Sept '08 and Oct '09), so there is no way we can go this year (right?).
I can't go a week without checking for a package that will somehow enable us to go again.
Obsessed? I think I need therapy for me to come to grips with us not going. But next year....

[Dewdrop034]

I already went this year in May and we aren't going again until next September and I'm always consumed with the thoughts of going back...my family thinks I'm nuts to say the least so I'm learning to just keep the obsession to myself.

You might be crazy, but it sure is fun! Also, howdy neighbor just up the Interstate!

My children have signed me up for Intervention!

Then you need to throw them out of the house!

[magicofdisney]

I've been somewhat disgruntled with Disney lately and yet I still can't wait to get back. We have season passes and our black out dates are ending soon!

[Mogie]

How bout dis...me and Audgie are goin in exactly 30 days. It's her 30th bday during our trip! We been datin for 3 years...not engaged...yet...and were already talkin about how the end of our honeymoon might be a few days at Disney...

No kids...we are not alone

[brownie]

There are other things to think about?

For me, it's almost as much fun to plan the trip as it is to be there. It sort of extends the trip beyond the borders of the time spent on the trip itself.

[azcavalier]

Yeah, we're right there with you. See the post in the "Theme Parks" section about being addicted to WDW.

Personally, I keep trying to figure out what it is Disney is piping in the air/water at WDW that makes you addicted to it. They've got to be using *something*...and they call it "pixie dust" just to be funny.

[kemps@wdw]

Disney does this to everyone who loves Disney. And that includes all of here on this site. We booked our Oct. trip in April. And even after the many trips we've made to the World, I still do my daily diligence. Checking my Intercot site, reading the posts on new things going on, enjoying everybody elses trip reports, watching the vaca dvd religiously, reading the newest books out on WDW, looking for opinions on new dining options, and this year, daily checking to see if any discounts on my airfair can be applied. I don't think you can ever be "too prepared" for WDW. So...no, you're not crazy. Just crazy about Disney!
