My story. On May 23rd my wife told me of a great deal Disney had (FREE DINING). We have never been to WDW but every year we go to the Little League World Series in Williamsport PA. I was taken aback. She wanted to mess with Daddy's vacation plans? I had to think of something quick. So I said our kids are too little for Disney. (DD3 DS4)
A fight insued. Her response was essentially, are you stupid it is Disney World. She knew I was up to no good. I told her I would look into it... They say a crack head is hooked after one hit off the crack pipe... That is me now only the crack pipe was http://disneyworld.disney.go.com.
Initially, I set up a couple of days at the park, had a rental car, and planned on going to the other joys orlando/florida has to offer. Sea World, The Beach, A Tampa Bay Rays game. It is now a 7 day base ticket and the rental car is cancelled, we will not be leaving the property.
I started investigating. First it was a few minutes here or there, my habit got a lot worse. Hours everyday between calling wdw-dine to see if there were any cancellations at OHANA, DISBOARDS, ALLEARS.NET, The Disney Moms Forum, etc, etc.
I bought a 1/2 inch binder to organize the plans. I have now filled up a 1.5inch binder. Gonna have to get a 2" (I might just skip over the middle man and go to a 3" one. So far there are pocketed dividers separating each of the days of the trip. Between the dividers are print outs of descriptions of all the attractions, maps, restaraunt menus, etc. In the back I have a print out of all there is to do at downtown disney, the specs on the dining plan and the descriptions of every table service and counter service restaraunt at WDW. As soon as our travel documents arrive the pockets will start filling up.
I jump on as soon as I get home, and as soon I wake up to see if anything new has happened.
I get 4 or 5 emails on my blackberry everyday telling me that a disney mom has answered one of my questions.
What started out as a half hearted "I will check in to it" is now an all out addicition. How did this happen to me? As you can see from my badge below, I am 72 days out. I can't keep this up... Can I?

This may be your first trip to Disney, but I can guarantee it won't be your last 
So, does this mean that you'll miss the going to PA this summer? 
Welcome!!!
. I'm on these boards because I don't think I will be able to go to WDW again so I'm here feeding my addiction. Well, that and the coffee one I have in my hand.
Like any true addiction, you'll keep coming back...chasing that initial high. Soon you find yourself looking at the calendar, trying to figure out when you can get your next fix. 
But I don't want to find the cure!
