You might be a DIS-er if........

[estherhead]

If you've ever read a book on Disney Secrets, a biography of Walt Disney, or Hidden Mickeys.

If your kids are assigned at school to write a report on their hero and a fight breaks out over who gets Walt.

If your three year old knows all the words to the Three Caballeros.

If you've been put on-call for friends visiting WDW in case the master plan you've given them needs adjusted due to a ride breaking down so they can text you and you can immediately give them an new emergency back-up plan.

If you've pondered buying a tent just so you can stay at Ft. Wilderness.

If you've started practicing juggling so you can do the new Four Park challenge.

You have ever pondered building a ride (Soarin' for example?) on your property using a porch swing.

You know the algrebaic formulas to figure out if AP rates, 3/4 deal, or free dining is a better deal.

If you don't think it's weird to pick out exactly what you will be eating in 6 months.

You might be a Diser if you take 3 old tires and put them on your living room wall and call it your HIDDEN MICKEY

 

[leebee]

If the soap in your shower is round and has a mickey head embossed on it, you might be a Dis-er...

 

[PoppyGirl]

If you mistakenly type in regular emails with DH, DS etc instead of typing out the real words...you might be a DISer.

Happens to me all the time!

If the phrase “going commando” refers to your touring style and NOT your underwear, you might be a DIS-er.

On a similar topic, if you’ve lain awake at night wondering if “Robo” is pronounced like “hobo” or “hobbo,” you might be a DIS-er.

If you wake your children in the morning with a strange voice calling "Wakey, wakey!"

If you check other people's touring plans with RideMax to see if they can fit it all in or not.

If you have it on your smartphone as a favorite you might be a DIS-er


Thought I was on my way to becoming a Dis'er -- but even I didn't know there's an app for that!! So where can I find Dis for my smartphone??? !!!

 

[minnierocks]

If you have a panic attack when someone says that they are just going to wing it at WDW...you might be a DIS'er

If you have an excel spreadsheet listing all travel/resort information, park schedules, parade/fireworks times, ADR's for every day...you might be a DIS'er

If you keep moving your family along while constantly saying "You can look at that AFTER we ride TSM...you might be a DIS'er

If within the first two minutes of Tangled, your DD whispers into your ear "Look her pendant is a hidden Mickey!"...then you are raising a future DIS'er!!!

If you have spent more hours planning your vacation than actual hours that will be spent on vacation, you might be a dis-er.
If you plan Disney vacations for folks you barely know, you might be a Dis-er, especially if those folks respond with "Wow, you're a Disney-holic."
If you can answer this question "Honey, what will we be doing 3 months from today?" with "Breakfast at CRT at 8:05 followed by Dumbo, checking Peter Pan and Winnie the Pooh for FP vs standby.....", you might be a Dis-er.
If Unofficial Guide, PassPorter, Birnbaums, etc. just don't do it for you anymore because you know more than they do, you might be a Dis-er.
If you change your hotel ressies, ADRs, trip dates, touring plans, multiple times based on trip reports of complete strangers, you might be a Dis-er.
If your family understands that they will be waking at 6am because RD is too precious to miss, you might be a Dis-er.
BONUS:
If you have sewn a custom-made Disney themed dress for your daughter for each day of your trip, plus coordinating shirts and tees for other family members, you might be a Disboutiquer.

 

[KYCruiseCrazy]

And he's not even the one writing the TR. His wife Leela is.

If you camp out 2 hours ahead of time, at all the best spots to view Wishes, SpectroMagic and Illuminations; you might be a DIS-er.

If you scream "where did I go wrong..." when your family suggested beach vacation, you are a Diser.

If you have weather.com on your desktop set to Orlando instead of your area, you are a Diser.

gotta love that weather.com

If your cell phone's ring tone is the "Fantasmic!" music, you might be a Dis'er.

If, in the process of planning your trip, you change your resort, ADR's, dining plans, etc. at least once a week, you might be a Dis'er!

When DW calls me the ring tone is the horns from the Wonder

[Good Morning Dewdrop]

If friends and family (grown brothers/ parents etc) roll their eyes when you mention you're going to Disney (again!) you might be a DISer. Bonus points if said siblings say sarcastically "there are OTHER places to go!"

 

[100acrewoodsfan]

If you have ever drug your spouse out of bed at 5:30 in the morning on a Saturday with instructions that they can't go back to sleep until the have secured an adr for LeCellier for 180 days from now while you secure the one for CRT you might be a Diser.

 

[LoveKermit]

If while in the parks you think in acronyms and have to translate back to english to converse with people...

Without reading every post....

I have trouble with this in my everyday life--not just at the parks. When I go to talk about my daughter or my husband, it's hard not to say "My DD" or "My DH."

Ditto for the ADRs. Always have to translate that to reservations as well as the hotel acronyms--especially now that the in-laws have DVC (which we had to translate for them) and we're starting to stay at so many different resorts. Do you know how hard it is to say, "Saratoga Springs" or "Bay Lake Tower?" Sheesh.

I think I'm a DIS-er.

 

[MinniesYooHoo]

If you begin every other sentence with "I was reading on the boards earlier...", you might be a DISer!!!!

If EVERYONE in your family expects you to plan AND book their trips for them because "You know where to look", you might be a DISer!!

 

[Vandercapellen]

If you have a planning binder with rstaurant menus, park maps, hours, spreadsheets, touring plans, ADRs, etc. you might be a dis-er!

BTW my ring tone is the monorial speal...please stand clear of the doors, por favor etc. (I don't want to butcher that language, I do it enough to English!)

 

[d1gitman]

If every conversation you have with people always ends up relating to Disney.

If you cringe at the the thought of Brazillian tour groups.

If you quote Robo as gospel.

 

[fraservalleymom]

If the following question makes perfect sense to you: “Can I hit MK right at EMH and ride BTMRR before my 8:30 ADR at CRT or should I get a FP?” you might be a DIS-er. (Bonus points if you recommend the FP.)

Yay!!!! I'm a Dis'er!!Whoo-hoo

 

[Disney Fool]

and let's not forget: if you have an entire wardrobe of clothes only suitable for Disney--clothes you wouldn't be caught dead in anywhere else, and they're already packed away in a special suitcase (for that unexpected quick trip), you're definitely a seasoned DIS'er.

 

[grandall]

If your vacation needs multiple "strategies" then you might be a DISer!

 

[beccamarie]

This is such a great thread! Loving it!

If you go the the Disney vacation planning site and "pretend" to book a vacation and stop before it is final to try to get a pin emailed/mailed to you, you might be a DIS-er!
