Are you a Disney FANatic?

[dizzyknee]

Where would you put yourself on the Disney FANatic scale?

When I talk to friends/neighbors or even strangers about WDW it quickly becomes apparent that they think I've gone a bit over the edge (not that I care) when it comes to Disney. BUT when I go online to a Disney board I'm not nearly as "over the edge" (and I mean that in a good way) as some of my fellow board members.

On a scale of 1 to 10 I would only give myself a 6.5...Okay maybe a 7 in my own personal FANaticalness.

Basis for rating can be calculated by averaging the following (please feel to add your own)...

*Time spent reading/thinking and talking about Disney.

*Number of times you have visited a Disney park.

*Your desire to go to Disney (even though the pocketbook isn't sharing in your enthusiasm)

*Collecting Disney paraFANalia... Do you decorate, wear and live with Disney products when you can't be there?

*Are your dreams (while you sleep) influenced in anyway by Disney. [Please explain, use as much space as is needed]

***Extra credit - do you have more than one Disney trip planned at a time and/or do you sincerely (money down, date picked kinda thing) start planning your next trip before you have returned or the moment you are back from a trip. I think we call that "Chain-Tripping"...there is no "patch" for this kind of addiction.

I guess on a scale of 1 to 10 I am a 100!!!!!

I ALWAYS have more than one trip in the planning.
Although all my dreams aren't Disney dominated, many are!
I do crafting based, occasionally, on Disney themes.
Since I admin this site, I spend a LOT of time discussing and reading about WDW.
We've been to WDW so many times I lost sight of the amount! And can't wait to go back!

*Time spent reading/thinking and talking about Disney.

*Number of times you have visited a Disney park. = 1 two days before my CP started, at least 8 during my CP (not while working of course, although I was known to take a sick day or two to go there :whistle: )

*Your desire to go to Disney (even though the pocketbook isn't sharing in your enthusiasm) = 10/10

*Collecting Disney paraFANalia... Do you decorate, wear and live with Disney products when you can't be there? = 4/10 I wear what I own on a consistant basis (I only have 4 pins and a shirt)

*Are your dreams (while you sleep) influenced in anyway by Disney. [Please explain, use as much space as is needed] = 10/10 almost every night I dream about being around one of the characters :D (probably more, but the characters are what I remember)

***Extra credit - do you have more than one Disney trip planned at a time and/or do you sincerely (money down, date picked kinda thing) start planning your next trip before you have returned or the moment you are back from a trip. I think we call that "Chain-Tripping"...there is no "patch" for this kind of addiction. = I'm planning a trip, and then moving down to Orlando to work for Disney after that, does that count?

I'd say 6/10 with occasional bursts of 8/10

All of the above...and if I were rich .....ah well, a girl can dream.

Even my family, who also love Disney, say I'm obsessed. :D

[ukwdwnut]

i think about going to disney/florida everyday
if money allowed i would go twice a year for 3 wks, but realistically 1x3wks
sorry dont dream, not that i remember anyway
i always have the next trip planned, even tho its every 2 yrs, next one is 3 yrs :cry:(cos of our celebrations we have in 07)
i spend as much time as i can here on the forums, if not to talk disney but to talk to the many "friends" i have made here
dont collect any paraFANalia
ive visited a disney park about 12 times inc wp's
so i dont know what mark to give myself really 10/10 for wanna be/go to wdw

say 5-6/10 would like it to be more :) dont wanna over mark meself :lol:

Basis for rating can be calculated by averaging the following (please feel to add your own)...

*Time spent reading/thinking and talking about Disney. at least 6 times a day

*Number of times you have visited a Disney park. this is into the 100's of times

*Your desire to go to Disney (even though the pocketbook isn't sharing in your enthusiasm) I want to be at Disneyland EVERYDAY

*Collecting Disney paraFANalia... Do you decorate, wear and live with Disney products when you can't be there? :whistle: ummmm my whole house has at least 1 Disney thing in each room

*Are your dreams (while you sleep) influenced in anyway by Disney. [Please explain, use as much space as is needed] Yes I dream in technicolour

***Extra credit - do you have more than one Disney trip planned at a time and/or do you sincerely (money down, date picked kinda thing) start planning your next trip before you have returned or the moment you are back from a trip. I think we call that "Chain-Tripping"...there is no "patch" for this kind of addiction. ALWAYS as i am leaving the park I am thinking to myself when the best time to go back is

So I would say Im a 9.5

Hmmmmm...

Probably about a 5 or so. I'm a laid-back Disney fan! :D

Reading is limited to this website, for the most part.

I've been to Disneyland so many times I lost count. Until age 30, I was there at least 30 times each year, probably closer to 40! :eek: Similar to 'Tink going to EPCOT almost weekly, we did the same with Disneyland. Haven't been there the last few years, though.

Have been to WDW only three times, with a fourth trip planned this December. The first time I was there, MK was WDW!

Don't have a lot of Disney stuff in the house and since I don't wear off-the-rack clothing very often, don't have any Disney clothing! I have my Sleeping Beauty Castle (Disneyland) pewter salt & pepper shakers on a little pewter tray that my parents bought for me just after Disneyland opened. You can tell they're early--plain blue box, no graphics! I have two decks of cards from my 1981 trip (unused) and an 3-D etched glass of Cinderella's Castle something-or-other (no idea what it's called!) on a lighted base that Leu bought me on our August, 2003, trip. Oh, and I have WDW Water Park characters--2 Minnies and 1 Mickey--sitting on top of my CPU that need to be shipped to Leu's grandchildren! :oops:

Probably have some postcards and stuff from my 1981 trip packed away some where. If I ever find them, Donna has first dibs! Not sure if they survived all of the moves, though! :unsure:

Would love to be able to visit WDW and vicinity for about two weeks every two years. Since I love to travel, that isn't likely to happen! Too many places to see and too few $$$$ with which to do it! :lol:

Other than determining if a June, 2005, trip to Disneyland to meet DC and other UOG members is feasible, the only other one in the works is a vague plan for Leu & I to take her grandchildren to WDW in two or three years. Self-employment and vacations are not very compatible!

Definitely a laid-back fan! :)
