10 Symptoms of a Disney Obsession – How to Know if You’re a Disney Fanatic



Since you’re visiting a website called “Disney Fanatic”, there’s a good chance you’re already a self-diagnosed Disney addict. But in case there’s any question about it, here’s a list of 10 signs of a true Disney addiction.
1. You discover hidden Mickeys in everyday life.

Wow! Doesn’t that cloud look like Mickey? Oh, look! That spilled milk on the counter looks like Mickey. And the oil that leaked from the car onto the driveway looks like Mickey! You’ve always got Disney on the brain.
2. You check attraction wait times….from your house.
The “My Disney Experience” app can be very helpful when you’re visiting the Disney parks. It gives you access at your fingertips to all things Disney. But if you’re using it to check the wait time for Space Mountain from your living room couch, you might be slightly obsessed!

3. You want to talk about Disney to anyone at any time.
You’ve helped all of your friends (and their friends) plan their Disney vacations. You insist on hearing a play-by-play of those trips and seeing all of the photos. You give unsolicited advice about the best way to get reservations at Cinderella’s Royal Table to strangers in the elevator. You simply can’t help yourself! Experiencing the joy of a Disney vacation vicariously through others is what tides you over between trips!
4. You “speak” Disney.

Have you ever stayed at AoA? How about OKW? Did you know that MK has EMH today? Where do you have ADRs?
Did you catch all that? If so, you’re fluent in Disney!
(AoA=Art of Animation Resort, OKW=Old Key West Resort, MK=Magic Kingdom, EMH=Extra Magic Hours, ADRs=Advanced Dining Reservations)
5. Disney makes you cry (in a good way)!
Do you get choked up during the Welcome Show at the Magic Kingdom before rope drop? How about during Wishes fireworks? What about when you see those Disney commercials on television just before your trip? If you’ve ever shed a happy tear at the very thought of or while experiencing the Magic of Disney, there’s no doubt you are hooked!
6. You start planning your next Disney vacation before the end of your current Disney vacation.

You constantly say things like, “Next time we come we will…” or “When we come back let’s make sure we…”. Mentally planning your next trip helps take the edge off the inevitable sadness you feel as your vacation nears its end. You can’t imagine life without another magical vacation in the works!
7. You constantly compare things to the way stuff looks/tastes/smells in Disney.
Don’t those flowers in your neighbor’s yard look just like the ones you saw at the Flower and Garden Festival? And I bet the pizza was better at Via Napoli. Whoa! That guy is driving way too fast. What does he think this is, Test Track? If your everyday life is one long string of reminders of your past Disney adventures, you might be suffering from a Disney obsession.
8. Your coffee tastes better when you drink it from a Tinkerbell mug.

And your cereal tastes better when eaten from that Donald Duck bowl. In fact, your Mickey Mouse tea pot is the secret behind your world-famous sweet iced tea. Life is always more delicious with a little Disney added to it!
9. On your last day in the parks, you’re secretly angry at all of the people who are just starting their Disney vacations.
You don’t know any of them, but you’re certain that every single person around you is on day one of a lavish, month-long trip and blissfully enjoying every second. In fact, you’re pretty sure that they’re smiling excessively just to rub your nose in it! How dare they be so happy when you are running so low on magical minutes?
10. Driving away from Disney feels like the worst day of your life…every time you do it.
There’s nothing like seeing that iconic Walt Disney World: Where Dreams Come True sign hanging above the highway as you approach the beginning of your magical Disney vacation. But seeing it in the rearview is quite a different experience.

Why Each Myers-Briggs Personality Type Got Fired

Image
We all approach work a little differently. Some of us are motivated to climb the corporate ladder, and others are comfortable living paycheck to paycheck. Some of us choose jobs that fuel our passions, and others chase careers that pay the bills. But regardless of our motivation for choosing a given job, there’s no guarantee we get to keep the roles we secure. Not everyone gets fired in their lifetime. But just like no two people are exactly alike, neither are the conditions for letting any two people go. Here’s one possible reason why each Myers-Briggs personality type might find themselves dismissed from their professional positions—no matter how committed they were to making it work. ESFP : They implemented a daily social lunch hour. Then a Friday evening happy hour. Then a bi-monthly themed staff party. By the end of their first year, the office was getting along so well that everyone had forgotten they were meant to be at work. ISFP : Someone blamed them for...

How Does Your Personality Type Factor into Your Marriage?

Image
It was no secret when Jed married Kara, the two were very different people. In fact, some called them opposites. Jed was an extremely extroverted singer who loved performing on stage, and Kara was an introverted freelance writer. Many of their opposing traits complemented the other—with his strengths and her strengths working together, it seemed like life was full of possibilities. But sometimes, Jed had a hard time understanding Kara, and vice-versa. When Kara was upset or frustrated, she would find a quiet place to be alone, but Jed would keep trying to join her. He simply wanted to cheer her up, but he didn’t realize that the best way for Kara to get over her frustration was to be on her own for a little while. On the other hand, Jed constantly tried to get Kara to go out with him—pretty much anywhere. The theatre, to a friend’s house, or to mini golf. He thrived on being around other people, so when Kara kept declining, he just couldn’t understand why she would...

There are a million ways to do Disney. But whether you experience the most magical place on Earth the right way or the wrong way depends on how prepared you are for your trip. Without proper planning, you could make costly mistakes, turning an already pricey vacation downright unaffordable. Of course, Mickey hats and other Disney paraphernalia will be vastly inflated on site and not worth the expense. But other lesser known mistakes are made all the time — some without knowledge you’re even committing one. Here are 10 of the costliest Disney mistakes, ranked from minor to catastrophic. 10. Assuming your child is privy to child prices Price of your mistake:  $6 per day per child, plus food Although Disney brings out the kid in all of us, guidelines for whom it considers a true child are relatively strict. Those who are 10 and over must pay adult level admission prices, as well as adult menu food prices — even if your 12-year-old only craves Mickey waffles a...
