And it really irks me when I am eaves dropping on a conversation and someone says, "we went to Orlando for vacation, did Universal, Disney World then the last day Animal Kingdom." I, to the embarrassment of whomever I am with, will pipe up and say something to the effect, "you know, Animal Kingdom IS part of Disney World, that park you went to is the Magic Kingdom, pay attention next time." I have had some pretty nasty things said to me in response, but I just want to set the record straight.

I am just really glad that you are okay. That is scary. I went through 3 hurricanes in Orlando, and thankfully we and all of our friends were fine. I was so very thankful for that.

I love the planning videos, especially the one with the "Flying" music from the live action Peter Pan film (which I never saw).

Interestingly enough I have been able to find a couple of WDW vacation VHS tapes at local Goodwills and on Ebay. I love watching them (yeah I have a TV/VCR combo so I can still watch tapes, haha!)

it is a good way to get some magic when you aren't on vacation.

You might check out garage sales too. I remember I used to throw the videos in a free box. I've seen people selling them and I marvel at that, since they were free to begin with :roll:

Well yeah, I mean I wouldn't buy them for more than a couple of bucks. I am willing to shell out a couple of bucks (even for something that was free to begin with) because of what it is, a piece of Disney magic and history.
But yeah you are right. I am not a huge garage sale poerson, but I might start perusing them a bit more :)

The only person who bought old WDW vacation videos? Heck no. I actually have a pretty decent collection of old Disney publications everything from books on the making of Epcot, to guidebooks from the 80's and 90's to the daily maps and such that they give out at the parks, and even some old Disney newsletters.

I *LOVE* that kinda stuff.

When you finally book the "spur-of-the-moment" trip that you have spent the last 10+ years planning on a weekly basis!

Only one month away!

I would love to get my hands on a copy of the original "7 Must Sees at WDW" with Krissa. You can find them on YouTube but they are not the best quality.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vnI-OjM2UKs

And to answer the original question, "You know you're a WDW nut when...":

I watch the original "7 Must Sees at WDW" with Krissa and feel like going to ride something after work :D
