OK - I think my family has officially lost it. We are now so sick with Disney Fever that I think that Disney Mania has hit my house!!
We watch the Travel Channel now when we see that they have an episode of some show featuring Disney World. We study all the rides and tell the kids which ones we're going on. Ann Catherine saw a feature on Test Track (at Epcot) and is determined to ride on it. We're not convinced she won't chicken out at the last minute since it'd be her first sort-of roller coaster but I think she'll have a ball if she allows herself to enjoy it!
We also have been digging out all of our Disney movies (which seem to be a huge mass of them thanks to my Disney-crazy husband) and making the kids watch all of them so they're familiar with all of the characters.
We've reserved our rental van and are working on hotel reservations now. I'm sure I'll make tons of reservations only to keep cancelling them because I find better deals. We're even considering joining AAA just so we can get better discounts (not to mention our vehicles are getting old and seem to enjoy breaking down so it might be a good idea).
Will is now sleeping with his stuffed Mickey and wants to take it everywhere with him.
I was given a Disney calendar for the next four months to make a countdown for the kids and Will went nuts when he saw Donald Duck on there. (Of course, he also went nuts over the lawnmowers, drills and nail guns he saw in the Home Depot flyer in the newspaper this morning and is convinced Pappy is going to buy him a power drill and a nail gun!! Off the subject - sorry.)
Brian wants to buy the tickets today since our tax money finally came in but I'm holding off to find the best deal.
And, of course, it doesn't help that my even crazier Disney-fanatical friend/coworker keeps feeding me websites to look at that cover Disney World and how to find good deals, how to plan your first visit, how to be a good mom and not kill your kids at Disney World, etc.
I started out determined not to get the Fever my family has been so sick with. I lost. I'm now starting to declare, every time I see another show on the Travel Channel, that we're now officially Disney people and we will spend at least a week at Disney every single summer!!! We're going to stay onsite at the resort hotels and eat Disney food for a week and just be lost in the magic every single summer. So, to my beloved family, I'm sorry. I think you've lost me. But you're welcome to join in and get the Fever with us as well!!

I'm right there with ya, girl! I love Disney World! I'm so excited, and I think it'll be even more fun having the kids there and seeing how excited they'll get. We've been too busy lately to do very much investigating of our own, but someday soon we'll get to it.
Jeremy and I went on that Test Track ride or whatever it's called. It was alright. It felt sort of educational, like, "Here's how a pavement road is made" sort of deal. And the end is a little heartstopping because they make you think you're going to slam into a barrier at a high speed. Whew! I can't remember how intense it was, though, so it may be alright for Ann Catherine, if not a little disappointing (it feels very boy-ish; Will might love it!)
Luckily, the show showed what was going to happen before slamming into the wall so she knows what to expect. And, unfortunately, Will can't enjoy it because he doesn't meet the height requirement. Can you tell I've practically memorized my Disney World book?!?!
