The warning signs had been there for years: I worked in Walt Disney World in college, after college I proposed to my wife in front of Cinderella Castle, we honeymooned in Disneyland, and I had more Disney books on my bookshelf and on my Kindle than any man should. Then, one day more than a year ago, I was applying to open my own Disney-centered business, and there it was: I was (and obviously I still am) a Disney Fanatic. Let me help you see the warning signs before it’s too late for you, too. You Might Be A Disney Fanatic If…
- Your iPod has just as many Disney songs on it as any other songs.
- You walk into a public place, inhale, and say “Wow, this smells just like Disney!”
- Anytime someone says “Let’s get down to business” you sing “To defeat…the Huns!”
- You have at least one pet who’s named after a Disney character.
- You’ve bought all of the Disney animated movies several times over: VHS, DVD, Blu Ray…can’t we just agree to ignore whatever format comes next?
- You have a Disney magnet or bumper sticker on your car. My favorite is “My Other Car Is A Monorail”
- You have a collection of Disney Beanie Babies, Beanie Boos, or Tsum Tsums.
- You know the EXACT dates of 180 days, 60 days, or 30 days before your next Disney vacation and can name them off the top of your head.
- You don’t bat an eye when you buy a cheeseburger, fries, and a soft drink for $15.
- You know how to spell Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (I promise I didn’t look that up!)
- You know what a Zebra Dome is and where to find one.
- You’ve ever eaten one of these:
- You understand this sentence: “I had an ADR for BOG at MK but had to cancel because it was time for my FP for 7DMT.”
- You still miss the Disney Channel program, Vault Disney.
- You have a Disney tattoo (or you’ve at least thought about getting one!)
- You see Orlando’s summer weather forecast and it’s going to be Sunny and 90 degrees, you think: “Hey, that’s not bad!”
- You know who Trader Sam is.
- You know where Trader Sam’s is.
- At least one of your alert sounds or ringtones on your phone is Disney related.
- You’d never eat an apple an old lady gave you:
