Five Signs of a Disney Addiction

There are fans of Walt Disney World and then there are Disney addicts. These are people who spend way too much time dreaming about their next trip to the parks. An addict is not someone who hums "It's a Small World" from time to time, instead he or she will have it as a ring tone. Here are five common signs that you might be a Disney addict.

You Constantly Look at Your Disney Pictures

Of course you are going to look at your pictures from time to time. When you go through them slowly several times a week and admire the blurry pictures as if they are perfect, it's a little much.
It's a bad picture and I LOVE it!
You Expect to See Large Displays of Disney Merchandise in Every Store That You Enter

Most stores in Orlando and the surrounding area want to take advantage of the fact that tourist will want to buy souvenirs.  It doesn't matter if you are entering a grocery store, a pharmacy or even a clothing store most likely you will see a Disney display. There will be stuffed Mickeys and his friends of various sizes, t-shirts, coffee mugs, towels, key rings, photo albums and other items. After a couple of days in the area you get used to seeing them. If you still expect to see the displays weeks after you return home you might be a Disney addict. 

You Find Yourself Watching Other People's Vacation Videos on YouTube

There is nothing wrong with watching Disney vacation videos, that is why people add them. When you find yourself watching long parking lot videos from people that you do not know, you might have a problem.

You See Hidden Mickeys Everywhere

Hidden Mickeys are all over the place at Walt Disney World and it is a lot of fun to look for them. There are not any Hidden Mickeys in the rug at church or in the sign at the mall. Those are just circles.

You Check Wait Times on Your Favorite Rides Often

A Wait Time app on your phone can help you to save a lot of time while you are in the parks. You will be able to better plan your day if you know how long a line is. Checking the wait times on your favorite rides when you are several hundred miles away is a different story. It is even worse if you have more than one app and you complair the times on them.

Is it 20 or 35 minutes for Star Tours? I need to check another app...
