1. It's your childhood.

Being a woman, I am very sentimental. Disney is my childhood and I have no shame reliving this childhood once in a while or every other night. I am a lady and I will watch whatever I want to. We women also really like unrealistic love stories and talking animals.

2. The men.

Who doesn't want a prince? The Disney princes are the ultimate charmers and they're too cute to be fictional characters. Face it, Disney hooked us from the day we laid eyes on Prince Charming.

3. Cute talking animals...or aliens.

No matter how hard we pray or wish on stars, our animals just don't talk. Nor do they fly to Earth on a spaceship. This realization is one of the main reasons we turn to Disney.

4. Magic

Peter Pan taught us to have a little faith, trust, and pixie dust. We learned to believe in magic and in the fact that we can stay as young as we want to for as long as we want. As long as you just believe, you don't have to grow up.

5. The music.

Most Disney movies come packed full of singable music. If you're like me, you'll have them memorized by the third or fourth time you watch the movie and they'll most likely be on your iPod.

6. Relatable characters.

OK, OK, so not every single character is relatable. But I bet you can identify with at least one from every movie...even if it's an animal. As an avid reader and writer, characters are the best parts of any movie or book. It only takes me one time to say "that sounds just like me" to be hooked. Disney draws in its audience because they relate to everyone.

7. The importance of family

Whether there is a ton of family love in the movie or you're actually watching it with your family, this is one of Disney's main focuses. The ability to draw in a group of people that love each other is amazing. It doesn't matter how many shoes you throw at your siblings because the moment someone turns on Frozen, the love is evident.

8. #relationshipgoals

We know that men don't have grand balls to find us or face off again evil witches but Disney love is something that every little girl and even women look for. Don't even say you'll never have this type of love. Aim high and never lower your standards for any man that wouldn't travel through an eternal winter with you just to bring your sister home. Never mind that that will never be the case. He would do it, though, if it ever were.

9. Life advice

When life gets you down, Disney is always around to pick you back up. There is a lesson to be learned from every movie. Seriously, we're all a little mad because dreams are wishes our hearts make but as long as we just keep swimming, hakuna matata.

10. Epic theme park

If you're a Disney addict, you get the pleasure of being able to live out your dreams and addiction through rides and meet-and-greets. What other addictions allow you to have this kind of childish fun and get away with it? Go put on those Mickey Mouse ears and wear your Disney fanatic-pants proud.
