When you can bring WDW into any conversation. Mostly with my "Disney" friends. When you know someone is planning a trip to WDW you light up immediately and you can instantly be their travel agent...get them the best prices for their buck. Explain what each hotel has to offer, stay inside the park, you have extra guide maps to share with them and guide them through the parks...advice, advice, advice.... etc., etc., :mickey2:

You know you're a WDW nut when your fiance calls you up to tell you she DVR'd a show on Food Network about Disney food...just for you.

Perhaps Mickey can turn her into a WDW nut after our honeymoon in LESS THAN *8 WEEKS!!! She already gave me permission to plan another trip down there so we can try some of the restaurants featured on the Food Network special since we can't hit all of them on this trip. :D

At the end of the star tours 2 announcement the chairman says "if that didn't just fire you up, your at the wrong meeting." I laughed out loud when he said that, anyone who thinks that is funny is a wdw nut. :)

When the Disney store near you is out of what you want and you drive one hour to the next Disney store.

MetalRage lists his location as West Palm Beach, FL - I could believe there's two stores down there...

Until recently we had two Disney stores within a 15-minute drive of us. One shut down, and Mouseoholic almost wept.

I would shed no tears if the one by us left...they don't have anything good :(
Flipping through a show last night, there was a graphic of water molecules - H2O - it got me singing the Monsanto song and they looked like little teeny tiny Mickey Mouse heads :D

Only thing I can think of that would be (close to) an hour (depending on how fast you drive and what roads you take) from West Palm Beach would be Sawgrass Mills. Unless there is one at Coral Square Mall but I don't see that being an hour drive. Then again, I'm used to driving from the Southernmost edge of Palm Beach County to get to those two...

I live in Chattanooga and we don't have one Disney store with in an hour from us.The closes Disney stores to us are in Metro Atlanta, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours away from here.

We have one here - but like Amy's - it's got nothing worthwhile.

There's a Disney Store Outlet in St. Augustine Outlet Mall, which occassionally has stuff from the parks (a lot of the star tours action figures show up there).

When you go to Wet 'n Wild (a friend wanted to go and I've never been) and you think to yourself "This isn't Disney."

Seriously. They have an express pass for the major slides and what should have been a 15 minute wait (if even that) for all of them became 45 minutes or longer. The best thing I did there was the lazy river... That says a lot!!!
