I need a reality check

My best friend says I have been infected by the Disney syndrome and need help. I used to think that people who think and talk all things Disney were weird too, and now I'm doing it! It's so EASY to get sucked in ...

Meanwhile, I need an itinerary template. Anyone know of a good one online?

My PassPorter has been shipped; is there one in there? I hope so. I can't wait until it gets here :D.

I started buying quarters when we get them at work. I found an M&M Mini tube at home and it's getting filled ;). Is there a Disney Pressed Penny folder? That would be SO MUCH BETTER than the plain one I have ... ;D.

You just need to be careful who you obsess around...lol.

Yes, they do sell Disney pressed penny books.

Don't forget to layer your coins in the M&M Minis tube--2 quarters, one penny. And shine those pennies! ;o)

It is easy to fall headlong into Disney stuff - I don't really tell anyone much how I plan our trips lol!

I can't collect quarters and pennies till we get there - Canadian ones don't work!!

I do have some coins left over from previous trips and I must get a few M&M' tubes to put them in.

Thanks for the reminder!

I read somewhere that the make of the pennies matters, too. Can't remember exactly but I think ones made before 1982 were pure copper and ones after (but not sure about 1982 itself!) have some kind of alloy so that penny presses might get you "marbled" results? So the kind you picked would depend on what you want (I'd go for the "pure" copper ones, myself, but others might like the marbled look). Not a clue about where I got this information from, anyone here know about this?

Thanks for the tip about the m&m tube. I am going to start saving quarters and pennies in my office and surprise the kids with them ( including the 37 year old one ).

Those Penny press machines have to be the biggest bargain in the whole of WDW!!

Such an easy "I want" to say yes to and a great distraction from other stuff because they are everywhere.

Somehow most of the friends I've gravitated towards also "believe in the magic."

funny I read this just as I was sitting at my desk layering pennies in a tube:) I am going for the king size tubes this trip so we can carry less of them

Am I the only one that thinks the m&m tubes full of quarters and pennies gets really heavy?

ours weren't heavy (maybe because we made each kid carry their own in their pack) but they did cause us to get our bags emptied at airport security... that was the 1st time we took them after that we always leave them out of the bags so they can easily open them and see what they are I guess maybe they didn;t seem heavy because they used them up so fast
