    Smile Dear Friends...I am NOT obsessed!

    A few of my closest friends (and family) do not understand the pull I feel from WDW. So I wrote a little ditty to post on my myspace blog to 'put them in their place' and wanted to share it with my Intercot community. This is the only place I can go and be understood as to why I keep going back to submerge myself in the Magic. Maybe you can share it with someone you know and love, but want to get YOUR point across to. Here it is.

    I am not obsessed
    You see-
    Isn’t there someplace you like to eat often, shop often or vacation to often?
    Are you obsessed?
    Do you travel to the local beach each and every year? Do you go hiking or camping or boating at the same places…..time after time?
    And no one calls you obsessed!
    I have been to WDW many times and find something new each time
    It’s all in how you look at it
    When you pay the bill for my vacation, then you can have some say on where I go….until then, if you can’t say something magical, please don’t say anything at all
    I have taken people off the list of who I tell that I am going to WDW AGAIN because of negativity, if I liked to link negativity to my vacations I would travel to the local Presidential Debate and watch the mud slinging.
    I choose to surround myself with positive attitudes and Magic. If I find it there then I find it there, it certainly is not in the everyday grind of bad news, politics or controversy. A vacation is supposed to be an escape, is it not?
    So let me don my mouse ears and travel to someplace that reminds me of smiles and laughter, memories of my life, my kid’s lives and good stuff in general.
    Thanks for reading!!

    Even if you ARE obsessed, it is the kind of obsession is positive! I can see no problem with being obsessed with a place that removes all stress, worry, concern, and replaces it with fun, enjoyment, youthful exuberance, etc.

    Enjoy your 'obsession' and ignore those who turn their noses up at you for it - they have no youth left in them. And that is truly sad!!

    I love it, that's great!! I get it worse b/c I grew up an hour away from the mouse and people don't understand why I still go two or sometimes three times in a year. We take shorter trips than most, but that's b/c we are only 7 hrs by car. I tell people "Don't you want your kids to do things you did when you were a kid??" I was lucky enough to grow up in a great place.
