I hate, HATE, HATE Pepsi and I love, LOVE, LOVE Coke. I am so thrilled Coke is in WDW. One of my favorite snacks is Popcorn and a bottle of Coke from the cart in front of the Castle. I wish I was there right now.

...When you start planning for (and paying for) your next trip while you are still on your current trip.
I wonder what the Pepsi truck was there for? I'm with you secondstar ~ nothing beats a popcorn and coke snack :D
Are you paying for that next trip by using your Disney Visa to build up dollars on your current trip?! ;)

No, Amy, I didn't. My daughter inadvertantly de-magnetized her 10-day hopper. So, when I went to guest services to have it replaced, I decided to have both her and my wife's tickets upgraded to Annual Passes. When I rejoined them I said, "I just paid for next year's tickets." They were both so excited.

ME TOO! If I'm out to eat, and the restaurant doesn't have coke products, I just drink water. :twisted:

Uh.....so would it be bad if I noted that the only Coke that i drink is Diet? The regular flavor is too sweet for me. But even then I'm not really a Coke kind of guy. Now Dr. Pepper and Mountain Dew on the other hand....ohohoho yes.

Also you know you're a Disney nut when you keep thinking of what you'd be doing right now if you were in WDW. I have an app on my phone so I've been checking wait times for rides...ugh. it's awful.

I love diet Dr. Pepper! Yum..... Mt. Dew? ick. Shows my age, I think. I remember when soda was sweetened with actual sugar, not corn syrup. We did a lab at school with different sodas and massed out the actual amount of soda in one can of different sodas. The volume of sugar in Mt. Dew was greater than the volume of the can!!! :shock:

I think it's harder for you than most because you had yourself all wired up for a January trip, and then had that changed relatively close to your expected departure.

...

You know you're a Disney nut when you don't see anything wrong with listening to Disney music all day instead of "regular" music. And for the record, as my 13-year-old daughter frequently asks, NO! I do NOT get tired of hearing it!

When you realize that your new TV has a way to watch YouTube videos...

...and the first thing you can think of to watch is "Must Do Disney" with Stacy...which makes it feel like you are in your resort at WDW...getting ready to head out to the parks.

(it's a mixture of happy and sad...happy because it makes you feel like you are in WDW...sad because you realize you are not)

Oh BIG, I can't believe you like Stacy...sigh...but if you must :roll: ;) I can see where watching this on your tv would be bittersweet indeed.

I admit Stacy is annoying...but it's impossible for me to turn off while in the resort room. It ends up becoming background noise after a while, which is probably why I subconsciously love hearing it in the background while I'm at home.

Being able to have it playing on my TV while I get ready for work does make it more enjoyable though. I can trick myself into thinking I am getting ready to head to a park...instead of my job.

It probably doesn't hurt that the tv is programmed to come on to that channel and she is ALWAYS on! :lol:

And she's one of the reasons I dread turning on the televsion at the resorts LOL! :mrgreen: :mickey: :lol:

Actually, I meant to turn on the TV while I was there to record it so I could send it Subsonic to add the latest and greatest version, but I was so busy while I was there I never got around to it...

I did record it :? but it wasn't at a very good sound level and I never got to try it again. Oh well, there is always next time!

This was the first time we actually got to see Stacy. I can see where she gets annoying after a while, but like BIG, it becomes background noise after a while...but we didn't allow that to happen ;)
I really like one of the Stacy sound recordings here on Sub and I wish we could have seen that one...this current one got pretty annoying quite quickly :shock:

...but you've got to love her enthusiasm ;)

You know you're a Disney nut when...

You go outside and you have, not one, not two, but FIVE Disney jackets to choose from. That's nutty, I think.

Dining at the McDonalds that is themed toward the rock and roll days and there was song that had the lyrics "I'm your puppet on a string" over and over :roll: made me think of Pinnochio - and made the bad song somewhat more tolerable :D
