To add a little information about helping friends plan.
You know you're a WDW nut when....friends ask you to help them plan and after a 2 1/2 hour session they leave with a scared look on their faces as you holler, "Wait, I didn't cover table service dining."

And to add another one related to planning, when first timers tell you they only need 2 days to do everything and you totally freak out naming everything on property

Re: You know you're a WDW nut when...
Oh my goodness, yes! I about bit my tongue in half when I was talking to someone I know that had only scheduled one ADR for their trip this past week ~ they stayed at Port Orleans Riverside (actually are still there yet tonight) so they had the meal plan with a quick service, a snack and one table service. He said they really wanted to eat at the restaurant in France for their anniversary as that is where they had dined last year on their honeymoon, but otherwise he didn't want to bother with making ADRs or FP+ ressies as he didn't like to plan all that stuff out in advance. I am very curious to see how they fared with getting in to the table service restaurants as I was under the impression it is almost impossible to dine in without ressies anymore. And they were a party of 6 so it wasn't like you could sneak in a table of 2brerrabbit1 wrote:yep!!!! lol!!!Marty Moose wrote:To add a little information about helping friends plan.

Re: You know you're a WDW nut when...
They just *might* be ok, given the time of year. It is the last week of Food & Wine (isn't it?) so the Epcot restaurants will be busy, but the other TS restaurants shouldn't be too bad. Next weekend, for the Wine & Dine half, will be busier, I think, and then they might be up a creek.Amy wrote:Oh my goodness, yes!

Along those same lines...
...you get an email from a family member who has literally no clue about WDW planning, asking 6 weeks out about a trip in October over fall break, and know for a fact that a party of 7 is not going to get any kind of ADR's. (They ended up not being able to go because of the cost and the time frame to get the $$ paid in full.)

Re: You know you're a WDW nut when...
I was talking about Disney on the way home from school with my 5-year-old, and the subject turned to recently closed attractions. So, how do I get him to picture the one I'm talking about?
Dad: "Remember the one where there was a boat and bombers were attacking it, and then we rode on a tram and went into the place where there was an earthquake, fire, a tanker truck, and lots of water?"
John, without hesitating: "Do you mean the Backlot Tour?"
Dad: "......... I love you."
Next time I'll just use its name.
And that's how we know we're Disney nuts.

Hoping to go back to the Magic soon.

...you spend free time on WDW transportation busses using the overhead ads to decide if you've been on that particular bus before.

You're at your friend's birthday party and are looking at the photo board they had put together and you immediately pick out the photo taken at WDW among the hundred or so other photos
