Somebody tell me I'm not a freak...

[KnK]

Thanks, that helps! Of course, nobody really knows I'm so obsessed except you guys. When my kids get a little older and I can't say I'm going to WDW because of them, I will really be exposed!

We don't have kids at all and we go every year. Everyone is a Kid at WDW.

your not a freak, your just one of us!

That's right, we are all in this WDW OCD thing together. I can't explain it to anyone else, but you are NOT alone!

My last visit was October/November '05, and I have hit this site almost daily from about a year before that until now. I've been constantly looking for new ideas, things to do, etc. to plan the next trip, even though I knew it would be quite a while before I could go back.

I feel like I have OCD when it comes to WDW. It's such an escape for me to go there that I guess I have trouble getting it off my mind. When we're there, we don't leave Disney property the whole week, so it's like I'm in a separate world during that time. I think that's part of it.

Anyway, now that it's only about a year until my next trip, I can book it and start planning without feeling so freakish.

Thanks for listening. I know I am a freak, but it would still help to hear from others who are as disturbed as me.

Hello there fellow Charlottean!!!!!

My brother went to NCState! I went to Appalachian!

Anyhoo i totally agree. I love coming here, I love looking at other people's pictures. I think about WDW every single day whether I have a trip planned or not! We're leaving this Thursday morning for WDW and I've been counting down for over a hundred days now. Trust me, you're not a freak at all!!!:sohappy:

You are a Disney Freak! Say it loud...say it proud!!!!!!!

I live for Disney....I have gone since I am 3 and will continue to go every year until I die. My husband says I am not normal and its all to weird for him. I consider people who aren't DISNEY FREAKS not normal....Maybe him not liking Disney should have been the big red flag.....

I don't see a problem....seems perfectly normal to me.

My friends think that it is so strange that I want to go every year to "an amusement park". They just don't get it, but that's okay. It's my place to be a kid again and rejuvenate. The greatest gift is that my husband feels the same way. Makes it much easier that we can be "freaks" together.

Welcome to the world's greatest, happiest club! I too am a Disney freak and proud of it!

I listen to nothing but Disney music in the car, have the IllumiNations pre-show music on my phone which doubles as my iPod, have several sets of Disney pajamas, have several Tinkerbell purses and tons of Disney t-shirts and so do my kids (I even have Disney undies ), Expedition Everest is my PC's background, I have Walt Disney font installed on my PC and is the font used to display EVERYTHING!, I listen to Sorcerer Radio on Live 365 at work, I have annual passes, not just seasonal passes even though they would be cheaper cause I live in FL, I actually FLY to Disney sometimes cause a 4 hour drive is too long to wait to get to Disney :hammer:, my son's 3rd birthday will be held at the UK pavilion at Epcot for a private IllumiNations party, I have already been to Disney 5 times this year and I have at least 2 more trips planned before the year is over, we do all our Xmas shopping at Downtown Disney, I make my dining ressies exactly 180 before our next trip, I have the Disney Dining Experience Discount Card, and TONS of other stuff but I don't want to bore you too much.

Point is, you are in good company! :wave:

It's normal. We all need escapes. It's healthier than many people's sports obsessions. (My brother can sit down and watch two teams he cares nothing about, but within 5 minutes is out of control screaming about the terrible officiating.) We have to be realistic though, that no matter how much we learn about WDW and try to plan the perfect vacation, there are things beyond our control: the weather, the preferences and limitations of those you're going with, etc. I had an upper respiratory virus the whole 8 day trip we just returned from. It didn't affect our activities or how much I enjoyed it, but if anyone else in my family had caught my illness I know things would have been very different.

"You're not a freak" said one freak to the other. :animwink:

Your normal here.

 

[luvGoofy]

Sounds normal to me!! My husband and I have been going regularly every year since we've been together and he doesn't even ride the rides - he gets very sick . He just loves being there and the atmosphere. Now that we have small children it just gives us more of an excuse to go. Not that we needed one before.

The last time she walked into my house she said that it looked like Disney threw up in here.

Good thing I didn't have a mouthful of soda when I read that! Too funny!


And I believe we are the "normal" ones. :lookaroun It's the non-Disney people that are the freaks in my book.
