My daughter calls getting excited about a trip "getting the fever".

One fun way to do that is to call 407-363-6200 or emailing
http:// www.wdw.mailorder@disneyworld.com

and order some mouse ears or autograph books to surprise the kids. Wrap them up for a present as a cool way to announce that
We're going to WDW!!!


You can pretty much order anything they sell in the parks!

I'm with you on that one! :lol:

When my trip is down to the 2 week mark and the luggage is out and everything is in order and we are almost there, it is so hard for me to think about anything else!

I'm with you guys - I always tell people that my whole life revolves around being on a trip or planning a trip, so my fever never really breaks.

But I have gone to WDW or helped people plan trips who were pretty "symptom free", LOL, and just didn't seem that excited to be going. My nephews, for example, had never been there and were just kind of like :shrug: "yeah, whatever" until we started working on them. We did things like send them a couple of disney dollars a week with other little surprises to give them a little taste of WDW and they were a lot more excited by the time we left.

It was a great trip, as a matter of fact!!:)

I never break from Disne "fever" it seems. I have a countdown on my work computer, which I check everyday (currently 64 days to go!:sohappy:).
I also watch planner videos w/ my parents and continously listen to any Disney Park Sound track I can get my hands on (this usually consists of laying out in the sun listening to the AK soundtrack, getting my tan ready for FL) :lol:

The planning videos are a must. We will watch all 8/9 that we have quite a few times before we go. Although i found they have dipped in quality since around 2005.

I'm a year away this week. I had the fever the moment we decided. I've been rotating desktop backgrounds of photos from around WDW.

I have constant Disney fever!! I was supposed to be going this April had it all sorted but my fiance's boss said he wasn't allowed the time off :( it sucked as it was for my mum's bday. I listen to the themepark audio all day at work, watch the planning DVDs with mum and the holiday ones that I have made (Always helps my dad who is a bit of a disneyworld sceptic remember just how much fun he always has there). I have to top up on disney by going to Paris once / twice a year to get my fix. I love making photo books of our trips as well, they are great reminders when the disney blues start to set in. I also have started making Disney costumes, I am a UK cosplayer and Disney costumes are starting to appear more and more on my lists. I have made an ariel one and I am currently working on a Pocahontas one.

I constantly have Disney fever too! :ROFLOL:My friends think I'm a dork and many of them don't understand. My DH has caught on finally though and it is so much fun doing it together! I keep a countdown current in my weekly planner (85 days til my birthday trip in April-yay!), I watch the planning dvds and listen to park music throughout the day on some days.

I also love planning our trip. I get on Word, and analyze every day we'll be there, each parks' hours, parades, fireworks, EMH, etc, and then highlight the best park for each day.

I also make a special list of new things we've never seen that we will do, that is exciting. Before our next trip we're buying the family members w/Mickey ears window clings for our car, and among other things, this trip includes visiting the water parks for the first time! I'm excited!

Crazy for WDW

My coworkers think I am crazy, as I have the countdown on my desktop and my calendars and it's all I think about. It's the only thing that keeps me going through the cold, cold days of winter!:sohappy:

No one has mentioned watching the rides/shows on video sharing sites. Last fall when I was getting my little one excited about her first trip she watched all the rides on youtube. It was fun seeing her recognize things she had seen on the internet as well as the trip planning videos.

Planning for my trip in less than 3 weeks has really been giving me the 'fever'! Constant WDW music, planning, looking at menus, old maps, scouring eBay for small treasures we can get before heading down (like cheap pins to trade)... AH! I officially started packing yesterday. :D
