Almost everyone loves Disney. How could you not? But there's a chance that there are some tell tale signs that you are a true Disney addict. Chances are if you find yourself nodding in agreement to any of these, you fall into this category.
1. You've been to multiple Disney parks
Between Disneyland, Disney World, Disneyland Paris, Tokyo, and Hong Kong, your Disney options are endless. Disney fanatics have most likely visited at least two of these parks and Shanghai is now on your ultimate travel bucket list (for Disneyland of course).
2. People come to you for advice on what to do while they're at the parks
You know the top restaurants, rides, resorts, bathrooms (yes this matters), parades, stores, and more.
3. You know the good spots to eat and drink
While you may not be able to drink at Disneyland or Magic Kingdom, if you're lucky enough to stop by Club 33 (if you do, come find me and I'll join) and Be Our Guest, make sure you take advantage of the alcohol. And between Chef Mickey's, Ohana, Trader Sams, Beaches & Cream (and the infamous kitchen sink), Boma, California Grill, Sleepy Hollow, Blue Bayou, Ariel's Grotto, and more, your options are limitless. And you know very well that you best make reservations as soon as you have your Disney trip planned.
4. You find yourself listening to Disney music in your free time
Never feel embarrassed for blasting "Part of Your World" in the car. And definitely don't feel embarrassed that you know every single word.
5. You consider Disney a truly fun vacation
Whenever you tell someone you're going to Disney again, they're response is something along the lines of "aren't you tired of it yet?" or "again?"
6. You have the spiels to the rides memorized
"This heres the wildest ride in the wilderness!" "You unlock this door with the key of imagination, beyond it is another dimension. A dimension of sound, a dimension of sight, a dimension of mind. You're moving into a land of both shadow and substance, of things and ideas. You've just crossed over into . . . The Twilight Zone."
7. You willingly watch Disney movies in your free time
And this includes going and seeing any new ones in theaters, no matter what
8. You have a prince that you would date in real life and a princess you want to be
Prince Eric and Ariel
9. You don't need a park map anytime you visit
You know Disneyland, California Adventures, Magic Kingdom, Hollywood Studios, Epcot, and Animal Kingdom like the back of your hand.
10. There's a good chance you have an annual pass
Even if you don't live in Florida or California, you probably have an annual pass because it's cheaper than paying for park hoppers every time you visit.
11. You collect souvenirs despite how many times you visit
You can never have too many ears, or pins, or sweatshirts, or Alex and Ani's...
12. You have mastered the art of pin trading
There's nothing more exhilarating than trading a cheap pin for a rare one
13. You understand what rides need fast passes and what rides don't
Whether it be getting one fast pass at a time at the kiosks at Disneyland or using My Disney Experience to book 3 before you even arrive to Disney World, you have this system down to a tee. And you know if you can get a fast pass to Mine Train or the new Frozen ride, you've hit the gold mine.
14. The holidays at the park are the best
Whether it be The Nightmare Before Christmas Haunted Mansion, Mickey's Very Merry Christmas Party, or the New Years fireworks, Disney does not mess around when it comes to the holidays
15. You've watched evert parade and fireworks show at least once
Disneyland Forever, Wishes, Soundsational Parade, World of Color, Fantasmic, Electrical Parade, Celebrate The Magic, Festival of Fantasy aka FOF, the dance parties, and more.
16. You have designated Disney gear
Hats, backpacks, Mickey tee's, comfy shoes. There's a true Disney fashion look when visiting the parks.
17. “¡Por favor manténgase alejado de las puertas!” is something you know by heart.
18. You played The Wonderful World of Disney Trivia growing up
And your favorite parts was when you got to see video clues
19. You probably have a picture of Disney and/or something Disney related as your phone case, iPhone wallpaper, Facebook cover photo, or laptop wallpaper
And every time you look at it, you miss Disney a little more
20. No matter how many times people make fun of you or tell you that you need to grow up, you're always going to have a special place in your heart for the happiest place on Earth
