Re: How bad is your addiction to Disney.

3 or more trips/month to the disney store. Many visits per week to Mousebuzz, Allears, etc. (many many more as the next trip approaches). Disney PJ's nightly, mickey links on the watch band. But "ordinary" people don't get it... so I keep it hidden ... until they ask for advice about planning a trip , well, then I'm off and running! Planning is the best part (well other than actually being there).

Kinda like a bottle in the bottom draw... but I think overall a healthier addiction.

Re: How bad is your addiction to Disney.

Well here's one example that kinda sums it up. When my sister-in-law came last week with the baby her response to seeing all the Disneyness was;

"You guys are hardcore, huh?"

Re: How bad is your addiction to Disney.

Before we moved our lower level was completely decorated with Disney Prints. Our mantel was filled with large Disney Globes, one picked out each visit. We have Mickey, Minnie, Tiger, & Eeyore xmas stockings that hang from our mantel at xmas time. I made a Mickey Head out of Wreaths and decorated it with lights and shiny colored bulbs to hang above our fire place at xmas time. My dog (before she passed) had Disney water & food bowls & toys. DD had Belle prints in her "princess room" & DS still has Mickey golf print in his room. Both kids have smaller globes and statues in their rooms. We drink from Mickey head decorated cups for dinner. I drink my coffee from a Tinker-bell coffee cup. You can easily find Disney magnets hanging on the fridge...and you will find my Hylander antenna sporting various toppers throughout the year. I am sure there is more.. but this is getting embarrassing...

Re: How bad is your addiction to Disney.

I have the older luggage with the red and black-
50% of the shirts i own have some disney something on it-
My kids watch disney channel all day (well its on all day they dont watch as much since they are not tv sitter kids)
My 5 nice coffee cups are mice coffee cups including the one I am drinking from
My father looks and collects mickey stuff for me in his goodwill trips
all of my fleece and jackets are somehow disney- including the black one that I sewed a mickey patch on all by myself
I sometimes have to avoid disney shopping or disney store because they make me sad.... unless I have a trip planned.

I dont know how to make it go away- Its like a little monster in my heart that had always been there and the more kids I have and the older I get the worse it gets.... UGH

I do, I have that luggage. Other than that- there are no Disney items in my decor, not one, save for a few items on my Christmas tree.

BUT I have the luggage

Re: How bad is your addiction to Disney.

Well for starters we have every MGM Ink and Paint plus the the park editions they did haning in our bedroom. I think the count is 26 of them. Lenox is all over the place too many of them to count. We have a Mickey and a Goofy Carlton on the barn wood. So many pins and other art work. At christmas the whole house is Disney. At last count the tree has over 200 Disney's hanging on it. Stockings, center pieces, globes, you name it. Clothing, shirts, jackets, shoes, yes even some underwear. But we have not gotten the luggage. Ever time we go to DTD the christmas shop is a must, and we always have to ship it home.

Re: How bad is your addiction to Disney.

Well i guess i am not as addicted as you all... I have a Mickey Mouse bathroom, which is a new addition since the last trip. Most of my christmas tree is Disney, i also have Winnie the Pooh dinnerware. I have quite a few Disney related shirts, my ipod and cell phone have disney wraps on them. I also have disney desktop themes on my desktop computer at home, my desktop computer at work and my laptop.

Hmmmm maybe i do have an addiction.... Hello my name is Brandon and i am a Disneyaholic..

OH MY GOSH, Megan is BEAUTIFUL!!! Those are some piercing eyes, she must be so adorable to cuddle with!

How does she handle the hot weather over summer? Do you have to get her groomed differently?
