You know you’ve got a PASSION for Disney when you sleep eat and breathe it. And you might just have crossed the line into addict by now!

Remember the old Jeff Foxworth comedy routines about “You might be a redneck if…”? I do!! Part of why they were so hilarious to me was because I live in the deep south and so many of them were TRUE (however, I have lived in other parts of the country and have found there are just as many red-necks y’all just call them something different). (SIDE NOTE: I mostly write Disney World stuff. I’m sorry if that bothers you Disneyland folks, but I don’t know enough about your park to write about it with consistency).

So (once again) I was awakened with a post idea….

You might be a Disney addict if…

1. You are already planning your child’s (born or unborn) wedding at the Walt Disney World wedding pavilion. (complete with reception at Grand Floridian and horse-drawn princess carriage).

2. You have every seriously considered paying someone going on a Disney trip to bring you a Dole Whip or Turkey Leg 3. You have at least one Christmas tree that has nothing but Disney Christmas ornaments on it.

4. You would never EVER marry someone who said they didn’t want to go to Disney World or Disneyland.

5. The majority of posts you regularly see on Facebook feeds (due to the new frequency of interaction policy) have something to do with Disney.
