The Disneyitis test is from my old website Deb's Dose Of Disney now archived in the internet's Wayback Machine. There are some modifications to bring it up to date but the symptoms in general are classic and timeless. 

So far I can only think of one cure.

A trip to the parks!!

Can you think of more symptoms or even a cure? I would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below. 

Have a magical day!
