Sign #101 You are a Disney Addict
One of the signs of a Disney Addict is obsession with Disney Parks on TV. Old sitcoms and the Travel Channel are all fair game. Anything to get a glimpse of one of your favorite places in the world to visit.
There are several options to immerse your television into the Disney Parks. Old Sitcoms like Roseanne and Full House repeat episodes that were filmed in the parks. Travel Channel will run specials on each Park or the history of Walt Disney. My Yard Goes Disney is often shown and they visit imagineers at the Parks. Food Channel is another spot to find a band-aid for the Disney Addiction. Guy Fieri’s Christmas Special is a must watch every year!
You can search Disney on your cable guides and set up the DVR. Another great resource is the website simply titled Disney Theme Parks on TV. This site will take you to the weeks showings of anything Disney Park Related! You can even set up a weekly email alert.
I know I am among friends and fellow Disney Addicts so you won’t judge! What are your favorite Disney TV finds?
Chip’s Tip: Do you miss Stacey when you aren’t at the resorts? You Disney Addicts know who I’m talking about…look for her doing her thing on You Tube.

Celebrate your stay at WDW with a great Disney Cake!
How many of us go to Walt Disney World to celebrate a birthday or anniversary? We usually go to Disney around my son’s birthday; since we were not at home we used to wonder how we’d be able to sing “Happy Birthday” without a cake. We like to make it as special as possible for my son. We found that we could purchase a Disney Cake at any of Disney’s restaurants. There are two ways you can have a cake; a Celebrate Today! Cake or you can order a specialty cake.
The “Celebrate Today! Cake”
Be spontaneous! Have an instant celebration with a 6-inch cake — available in both chocolate and vanilla. No notice is necessary; you can order upon arrival at most table-service restaurants; cost is $21.00 for this special cake (and it’s oh-so-yummy too!)
A custom cake can be the icing on your celebration. A few years ago, we went to ‘Ohana and had a cake for a large group of friends, and Disney really personalized the cake! You can choose from a variety of cakes and shapes, personalized for your special occasion. If you plan on celebrating at Cinderella’s Royal Table (in the Castle) you can purchase a Glass Slipper cake for your little princess. Just give 48 hours advance notice so they can make your customized creation. Pricing varies depending on the cake, but it’s so worth it.
