You're A Disney Person If...

There's people that are fans of Disney, and people that are Disney people, which one are you?

You're A Disney Person If...
Taylor DeBello

Being a "Disney person" or even a "Disney family", is one of the most exciting things you can be. With my mom being a travel agent and booking endless amounts of trips to Disney for others (and our family), you wouldn't have to second guess that we are Disney people. (AND WHY WOULDN'T WE BE? IT'S GREAT).

Enjoy the ways I believe you know you're a Disney person, and all the Disney throughout my life.

1. You know it' "The Happiest Place on Earth"

If you hear the words, happiest place on earth, you don't think of anything but Mainstreet U.S.A., the rides, and good ol' Mickey.

2. Knowing your fastpasses and dining plan like the back of your hand

If you're Disney people, you do not play when it comes to your FastPass schedule. You need to be at Space Mountain at 10:05? You're there at 10:05. You know the parks you can't pick the top three tiered rides all at one time. So if you're in Hollywood Studios and you want to ride Rockin' Roller coaster and the Toy Story, you know you can't pick them at the same times. As far as your dining plan, before you go to the parks your mom will nag you to keep track of how many quick serves and snacks you have left.

3. How you talk about characters

If you talk about Mickey and Minnie like real people in your life, you can consider yourself a Disney person. Pluto is your dog just as much as he is Mickey and Minnie's. Goofy and Stitch are your friends too

4. The parks

If you can find rides in Disney faster than classes on your college campus then maybe you've been to Disney one too many times (which is 100% not a bad thing).

5. Pin collection

Mickey ears aren't the only thing that Disney is known for. Pin trading is one of the fun little purchases that make your time at Disney extra fun! If you've ever traded pins with a cast member, or have more than two lanyards full of pins, you're probably a Disney person.

6. You know the "Disney terms"

As any Disney fanatic knows, the workers are not employees or workers, they're cast members. Behind the scenes work or back rooms cast members do or go to is called backstage. People that stay with the characters are their handlers, and each day is a show.

7. The castles

If you know Cinderella's castle is Disney World, and Sleeping Beauty's castle is Disneyland, and which one is in California and which is in Florida, you're golden. You'd be considered platinum if you knew the other castles in other parts of the world.

8. Customized magic bands

Instead of just keeping the gray or regular colored magic bands, you actually decorate yours. Magic bands are fun because now they have all these different types of pieces you can put on them. Customizing them and having your unique color is the best.

9. Magic shots

No no, not actual shots. When you go up to a photographer and he says okay time for a magic shot, you know exactly how to put your hands so later when you look at that picture, Tinkerbell is standing in them.

10. Signature Disney foods

Dolewhips, tonga toast, Mickey ice cream bar, candy apples, turkey legs. That's all I have to say.

11. Where to look

The rides that take your pictures are obviously the best ones, so you always make sure to pose because candids on rides are overrated now.

12. Epcot's countries

You know all of them. You go to all of them. Each country has their uniqueness about them and for a moment you might even forget you're in Florida!

13. Hollywood studios is a mess

You're mad that the Sorcerer's hat is gone and you still call it MGM (but you still love it).


14. Magic hours

Magic hours are the best part about staying on Disney property. Going to the parks before the official open time and staying later than the official close time. Magic hours give you an excuse to say it's normal to stay in the Magic Kingdom from seven in the morning until two in the morning.

15. The magic

Whether you're six or sixty-six, the magic doesn't die for you. The most important part of being a Disney person is knowing how to not grow up.

If you can relate to everything listed in this article, you're definitely a Disney person. I've luckily been one since day one.

One more thing, Harry Potter is Universal, not Disney and they are NOT the same thing.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
