We sometimes spend thousands of dollars on park merchandise and memorabilia,(I know I have). For some of us, Disneyland is the only choice when planning a vacation. So, the question is, do you think it is possible to become addicted to Disneyland? Do any of you feel as if you have a Disneyland addiction?

Originally Posted By mickey42397 One can become addicted to anything. I would say that DL is an addiction for me, but without any negative connotation to it. I moved from San Francisco to Orlando so that I could be close to WDW, after three years I didn't like it and was still spending massive amounts of money to take vacations to DL, even though I was living and working at WDW. So what did I do ? I moved to Anaheim. I live within walking distance. Does that sound like an addiction ?

My friends tell me I need to go into "DA" (Disneylanders Anonymous) But they say before I can get help I have to admit I have a problem... I don't see a problem

The magic of it just takes my breath away as I walk under that overpass and read the sign "...here you leave the world of today and enter...." I just wish I could go there more often! DS and I were down there in December and I'm constantly scouting for travel deals to return again. We live in Canada and the exchange rate right now is better than its been in many many years....very tempting!! I honestly cant think of a much better addiction than Disney!

My folks think its a waist of money and time, i have tried to tell them its no different than them going camping and fishing every year to the same place. Its always the same they don't get the feeling i get when i think of being there or seeing a child smile and laugh at some thing they have seen or done. That is what life is all about and i feel that is along the lines of what Walt was trying to do. JMHO I am glad my kids enjoy going and in Aug we will be there for a week i cant wait.
