    Default You know you're addicted to WDW when...

    Our family went camping last night with some other families from our church. There was of course, a campfire. We hung out, made S'mores, etc, etc. Typical camping stuff.

    This morning, when I got up, I put my clothes on that I had worn yesterday. When I grabbed them to put them on, the first thought that popped in my head *wasn't* "Hey, these smell like smoke!" It was, "Hey, these smell like that part of Spaceship Earth where they're depicting Rome burning!"

    How about the rest of you? Go!

    When you can relate everything to something at WDW. For example: Someone at work was talking about a home theatre system and I told him about the one in the Home of the Future at Epcot. No matter what anyone talks about I can find a way to relate it to WDW. It's gotten to the point where everyone just expects it

    There is building on the freeway we travel occasionally and evertime I see it, I remark on it being just like Wilderness Lodge.

    we buy a certain sunblock for the kids that we first bought when we went to blizzard beach. When I spray it now I still say it "smells like blizzard beach" or "something smells like blizzard beach." Also whenever we see local fireworks (Canada Day, New Years, whatever) either myself of DW will say "wishes" like we're watching wishes and listening to the audio that they play. addicted, yeah just a little

    Uh, when you are supposed to be giving a business oriented speech for a communication training at work (and you work at a very large company that makes consumer products) and what you discuss is the "fantasmic awesomeness" that is the past, present and future of WDW. People just look at me and smile, but I know somewhere out in the audience is someone that has just assimilated to the Borg!

    Whenever I take the kids out to eat, I ask them when Winnie the Pooh comes around to sign autographs.
    When the local pool was open late, I told the kids it was extra magic hours.
    And at the local amusement park, I asked the tram driver if it was the right tram for epcot.

    Hey, we'll also be there from Oct 2 -9th! If you see an entire family of five wearing all Virginia Tech (VT) apparel, with a bald Dad, that will be me! We could also be wearing our "I Survived Spaceship Earth", "I Survived the Hall of Presidents", or "I Survived It's A Small World" shirts.

    Don't be afraid to say hello!

    Hahaha, so do I. Actually there are many scents that have been reminding me of Disney lately. I was at a Phillies game the other day and while walking past one of the concessions it suddenly smelled like the Main Street bakery.

    Here are a few of my additions:

    -When the background on your computer is a picture of New Fantasyland
    -When you have the Intercot countdown on your desktop (65 days!!)
    -When you buy your mom an apple candle for Christmas because it smells like the apple pie at Philharmagic
    -When you and your mother start planning the decorations for your window at POP three months early by buying a mini Christmas tree and building a light-up wreath in the shape of a Mickey
    -When you have too many photo albums and scrapbooks dedicated to Disney to count
    -When you have at least 100 Disney beanie babies surrounding the walls of your bedroom
    -When your pin shadow box and lanyard are full of pins and in need of another shadow box
    -When you and your coworker are obsessed with Disney and that's all you talk about when you work together
    -When you wear only Disney shirts a month leading up to your trip
    -When you are talking to people for the first time and you gasp when they say they have never been to WDW / when they say they hate Disney

    Shall-ist I need to continue?

    Oh yeah, and the most important of all:

    -When you are in college and your 19th birthday is finally on a break from school so you beg your mom to book a trip to Disney for it by making the homepages on the computer be flight information and hotel information

    Yeah, I'm Hannah and I have ODD (Obsessive Disney Disorder).

    Oh where to begin?
    - We usually go in November/early December, so when the weather here in TX feels like Disney in the winter, DH and I look at each other and say "this is a Disney day!"
    - Our small children listen to music in their rooms at night, I have Tomorrowland BGM playing in one room and Disney Christmas BGM (from MK) in the other room.
    - Our older kids are homeschoolers, but one of the big perks of why we decided to home school them was so we can take our large family to WDW during value season and enjoy no crowds!!!

    Should I go on
