Ask Doc

"Dear Doc: What is Disneyitis? My friends say that I have a severe case of it. I'm a little concerned...Do I need an appointment? Are there shots involved? Is it contagious??"

Dear Disney Junkie,

Disneyitis (Dis ney i' tis) n 1.condition related to the uncontrollable desire to
return to the World. Subjects with this condition are known to frequent notefiles,
web pages, and newsgroups. Only known relief is a trip to Walt Disney World. There
is no permanent cure....and no cure is being re searched as those afflicted don't
WANT one! People who suffer from Disneyitis have also been known to spend
an unusual amount of time at their local Disney stores to temporarily relieve
some of the symptoms associated with the disease. They will also tape,watch,
re-watch,and re-re watch Disney videos,specials,parades,vacation planners,etc.
Also will subscribe to Disney Magazine, and will read every brochure on Disney
they can get their hands on. They will sport hats, coats jackets, pants, and carry
bags with Disney logos. Can't go more than one full year without going to the world
without becoming suicidal,or worse, Homicidal! And no matter how many vacation
days they take, they always seem to get ticked off at everything one or even
two days before they have to leave the world and go back to the rat race.

You'll be just fine...it's your friends I'm worried about!!
