Disney obsessed....

....when you think about the next trip on the train home.
....when you get to your computer the minute your home(or the next morning)and hope for a %-offer.

...When your parents mention going away somewhere your first thought is to go to disneyland...
... you are always checking to see what the latest deals are....
.... you know when the best time to visit disneyland is and usually whats happening around that time...
...you are always looking to disneyfy something...
... you own more than one disney related plush toy...
... you are always looking for more disney dvds you dont have yet...
... you have what you have deemed 'the disney wall' where only photographs/drawings/posters that are disney related are put....
... you where very happy when a disney store opened in your town/city...
i think theres more but im not sure...

Nope, it is not about the money, you are right. I was very poor once (homeless even), but Disney was ironically my motivation to be successful, so I could afford to do more Disney related things.

This really struck a chord with me. I had had a really awful year which had resulted in me moving back in with my parents with my little 3 year old daughter tucked into my arm. Two months after I had moved home, as part of cashback site I was offered money to deposit money in a Bingo account, so basically for depositing ten quid I was going to get twenty quid back. I was pretty broke at that point too, I had outstanding debts from splitting with my little girl's dad and things were pretty dire so for a tenna I thought I was well in. Anyway, I ended up winning 1200 quid. It was all very quick, very random. I sat for a while and bizarrely I decided I was going to go to Disneyland Paris. I have no idea why, don't get me wrong I love Disney now but I'd been pretty apathetic before then, although I have always loved what Disney stood for. So, by the next week I had booked a week's stay in Cheyenne, I had just enough money to pay off my remaining debts and book my holiday.

That week in Disney changed my life - no exaggeration. I came back completely different and have never gone back to that dark place. Call it what you want, I know I sound ridiculous but it changed everything for me so I completely get what you're saying daveasbaloo  

I just wanted to add that whatever you believe, winning that money was fate/sent from Uncle Walt or a message from God and I am so thankful for it! By the way, I withdrew my money and closed the account - gambling doesn't pay.

So in response to the original question....

You know you're obsessed with Disney when you truly believe Disney saved your life <3

you carry the room keycard you '''forgot''' to hand in at checkout in your purse at all times.

YES this is me!! A Santa fe keycard and park entry ticket from 2008 has not left my purse since. makes me smile every single time I see it

...when you go on a 6 month trip around the world, but spend your entire time excited to get home to start your job at the local Disney store.
...when you visit another Disney store you put stray things back in their right place because you want it to be perfect and magical for everyone.
...when 97% of you and your friends conversations are about Disney, a Disney park, Disney rumors, Disney movies etcetcetc
...when you get a stupid grin on your face and your eyes glaze over when you see an advert for a disney park on television.

Oh the list could go on...
DISNEY <3

DH said that sounds like me too!  I've only packed one hoodie as I know I'm going to bring back at least one new hoodie as long as I let DH buy lots of sweeties!!

....when you have a trip booked for next March but can't resist the 40% sale and book for January too.
....when the walk to school conversations are entirely about Disney.
....when the scrapbooks of previous trips are permanently kept on bedside locker.
....when, thanks to this website, January's budget trip meals are already planned and priced.
....when logging into Disney websites is as frequent as checking emails and facebook.
