Absolutely. I work on the Virginia Tech campus, and we just opened a new dining hall (spectacular, BTW). I went in to try it out, and it smelled *just like* the Riverside Mill at POR. It got me so excited for our upcoming trip. One month from today!

Here are a few of my additions:
-When the background on your computer is a picture of New Fantasyland
-When you have the Intercot countdown on your desktop (65 days!!)
-When you buy your mom an apple candle for Christmas because it smells like the apple pie at Philharmagic
-When you and your mother start planning the decorations for your window at POP three months early by buying a mini Christmas tree and building a light-up wreath in the shape of a Mickey
-When you have too many photo albums and scrapbooks dedicated to Disney to count
-When you have at least 100 Disney beanie babies surrounding the walls of your bedroom
-When your pin shadow box and lanyard are full of pins and in need of another shadow box
-When you and your coworker are obsessed with Disney and that's all you talk about when you work together
-When you wear only Disney shirts a month leading up to your trip
-When you are talking to people for the first time and you gasp when they say they have never been to WDW / when they say they hate Disney
Shall-ist I need to continue?
Oh yeah, and the most important of all:
-When you are in college and your 19th birthday is finally on a break from school so you beg your mom to book a trip to Disney for it by making the homepages on the computer be flight information and hotel information :santa3:
Yeah, I'm Hannah and I have ODD (Obsessive Disney Disorder).
Our family went camping last night with some other families from our church. There was of course, a campfire. We hung out, made S'mores, etc, etc. Typical camping stuff.
This morning, when I got up, I put my clothes on that I had worn yesterday. When I grabbed them to put them on, the first thought that popped in my head *wasn't* "Hey, these smell like smoke!" It was, "Hey, these smell like that part of Spaceship Earth where they're depicting Rome burning!"
Hysterical!!! I love this smell!!!
I also love the smell of splash mountains water. My mom says it smells musty but I love it. We were walking by a reservoir in Cranston RI and I said hey! That water smells just like splash mountain! Lol :mickey3:
Love this thread! I am truly Disney obsessed and so glad to be in "magical" company :mickey:
I know I'm addicted to Disney when I discovered a candle at Walmart that smells exactly like the beach scene on Soarin, I walked around the store carrying and smelling the magic :cloud9: Also do the hidden Mickey thing, me and my best friend have actually created an everyday hidden Mickey album, and of course my room is completely Disney decked out :D
- when all of our computers have wdw backgrounds on them.
- when i carry a disney mug to work.
- when i get on intercot all of the time even though our next trip isn't going to be for a long time.
- read restaurant reviews all of the time.
- when i see something that looks like mickey ears and i call it a hidden mickey.
- whenever we get on the highway it reminds us of driving to the airport and going to orlando.
- whenever we go to the farthest mall only b/c it has a disney store in it.
- whenever we have days and we say 'i'm in a disney mood today.'
- we still play the spectromagic audio in the morning from time to time.
- listening to the haunted mansion audio a lot right now!
i could go on.
When you’re out shopping at a mall (not on vacation) and you hear your daughter’s friend (who is also from a family of Disney junkies) say, “There’s no price on this, let’s find a cast member!”
Walking past the bathroom and thinking, "that smells like Mickey's Philharmagic!"....Glade Apple Cinnamon spray smells just like the pie in the "Be Our Guest" portion. I will never buy any other scent!
Also, my sister was in town(Jefferson City, MO) for a day last week and road back to Kansas City with us. We got in the car, plugged in my iPhone, started an Intercot Podcast and my 8-year-old daughter turns to my sister and says, “And this is our ride to Kansas City…” ;)

When you're walking down Main Street, U.S.A., listening to the music and you realize they're not playing the songs in the correct sequence; the loop has been changed! (Some songs are newly added. Some are different versions of previous songs.) I picked up on it right away.
When you watch you tube videos that people have posted from various rides throughout the park - every morning while getting ready - or listening to Intercot podcasts every morning!
When you carry your soda to every morning work meeting in a Disney Souvenier Cup while everyone else has the swank Starbucks cups, etc.
When you have a photo of your daughter sitting on the same fencing outside the garden area in Canada at Epcot with the little log cabin the background as your wallpaper background - same pose each trip.
When you are typing Disney Obsession lists at 11:15 PM when you should be going to bed on a worknight!
And yes, I too find all sorts of hidden Mickey's everywhere in the "real" world. Although in my thoughts, WDW is the REAL world! :mickey::mickey::mickey:
There is a car in the parking lot of our condo building in DC that is "HDNMCKY"...what else can you think of that will bring me back to Disney faster than that! :mickey2:
When it is the day before the ICOT15 meet and you are so anxious that you are not going to be there that your skin is crawling and you feel terrible that your missing it. Probably too much information, but its a fact of an addicted life.
Here's one that happened this morning...
When you're out of soap in the shower, and the only soap you can find is the soap you took from the last WDW hotel you stayed at. When you use it, the scent makes you feel like when you get out of the shower, you're heading to a park.
I keep saying the next trip to WDW is my last trip because of the high prices, but it never is. I always end up going again. Push that credit card to the limit ;)
:here:This is totally me! LOL I've become Disney obsessed since booking our trip and we have 105 days left! In my defense though it's been 10 years since DH and I have been to WDW and it's our girls' first time so I'm extremely excited to make it the best trip possible. :D
Addicted to DLRs (not just WDW) when you return home from WDW and book two more vacations to DLRs on different continents (WDW & DLR-HK)
We had a baby so we would have an excuse to go every year and our friends wouldn't laugh at us:)))):))):)))))
You know you are addicted when you...
1. You Look at WDW things for more than 2 hours and you dont have a trip in the works.
2. Have a Disney/ WDW Themed Room
3. Using WDW Resort shampoo and soap when youre having a bad day to make it a little brighter.
4.When You see Disney World related things on Tv and You have a Disney Nerd Heart attack.
5. Always See hidden MIckeys everywhere.
6. When you are dissapointed when you are handed a non- Mickey Mouse mug.
7. Listen to Disney Music and WDW music to get your fix of Disney for that day.
8. Have a plethora of Disney Movie CDs and WDW CDs and that primarily all you listen to.
- When you just had to order a new Disney Vacation Planning DVD because you have watched all of the available options on Netflix and your own stash of old DVDs.
- When you check the price of Disney weddings so that you have plenty of time to start saving up over the next three years. It's either Disney wedding, Disney honeymoon, or no cigar! And luckily, he knows and is still hanging in there!
- When your friends refer to you as "The Disney Princess".
- When you remind your dad that it's time to start thinking about what restaurants we want to book for our trip in May... we're just getting too close to that 180 day mark to not be sure!
- When you spend all afternoon trying to track down Remy merch for your DBF who is also quickly becoming a Disney fanatic too! :mickey:
- When you sit with DBF for his first time at IllumiNations and he looks at you and says, "Hey, I actually get to see it now, not just listen to it in the car!" :blush:
My DS (9yo) and I were picking out a scented candle when he said " I want this one. It smells like Disney!" :thumbsup:
When you incorporate Disney characters into your powerpoint lectures. (AT THE COLLEGE LEVEL):mickey:
(This is how I find other Disney-maniacs.....):thumbsup:
