My wife and I recently moved to Charlotte and in reorganizing my DVD collection, I came across this interesting discovery. Some years I even have duplicates if anyone's interested...lol. :mickey:

Thought it was a fun fact to share.
:lol: We do... but honestly, I think those old VHS planning videos were a lot better than the DVD counterparts today! More exciting!

I have a few coworkers that have asked me some Disney planning questions, and of course my family always comes to me first for Disney questions! :)

You and my wife should start a business.

Here's one:

You know you're married to a Disney nut when she tries to make you sing the male parts of Disney classics while listening to Disney in the car. I'm a nut because I actually know the words....:mickey2:

That is hysterical. Which movies can you both sing along to? Im guessing Aladdin, A Whole New World is one.

When you try and help complete strangers plan their upcoming Disney vacations. (Seriously, I have helped people I met in a store.) Then, of course, you also tell them that they should listen to subsonicradio in preparation for their big trip!!!

Or, while I was at my son's Taikwando practice the other night, I had to help a "travel agent" (I doubt they were licensed) with questions about booking Disney trips. I started to ask her for a consulting fee!

LMAO, we just watched that this past weekend. When that song came on and I didn't start with Aladdin's part, she just looked at me...sad I know.

.... When you freak out about meeting such celebrities as Deb Willis, Lou Mongello and Steve Barrett.

.... When you are willing to wait in line for an hour so you can get an autograph and a picture taken with Joe Rhode.

.... When you start planning your child's first trip to Disney before they are even born yet.

...When you have entire spreadsheets that calculate the mean average cost of passes using varibales such as length of stay, expiration options, park hopper options, water & fun options, etc. so as to determine what type of pass you should get, and people ask for it so they can figure it out too....

Also, when you have more than 50 favorites links for disney sights on your work browser.

There are more than 50? I would love to get a list of some of those. (Okay, another sign that I am a Disney Nut)

Back in December 2006, Dr. Ravenscroft and I went down to WDW for a week, the last day of our trip was the first day of Mousefest that year, and we walked right past Lou Mongello on out way around the castle, but we didn't realize it was him until we were a good 100 yards or so away.

anyways, back on topic: (I believe I've said this in the past) ...When you save up loose change in one of those large crayon-shaped banks specifically for a trip down.

Lou Mongello

My wife has a subscription to his magazine 'Celebrations'. She goes nutz every time a new magazine comes in the mail. I believe she also listens to his podcasts.

Virtual touring in Google Earth. It's even cooler since they added the 3D building stuff.
