When Disneyland first opened in 1955, Walt Disney stated: "To all who come to this happy place; welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past...and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future." The Disney parks were created for adults and children alike, so it isn't shocking that there are some adults (like myself) that love Disney just as much as children. Disneyland offers us a chance to escape back to their childhood, back to a time when our dreams were limitless and the world did not seem so harsh and cruel. It's safe to say that we all have a favorite Disney movie and character that we remember from our childhood, and we remember going to the parks with our families and the pure joy we experienced. Why not continue to experience this joy during adulthood? Age is just a number in the realm of Disney!
1. You watch Disney movies all the time even though you don't have children
And now you understand everything so much better.
2. All the money you make goes to vacationing at one of the many Disney theme parks
You appreicate mom and dad so much more now.
3. You know adult-sized Disney clothing is made for a reason
You can find this adorable shirt here.
4. Mousewait is life
It's the only way to plan your Disneyland vacation.
5. You've either Disneybounded before or have always wanted to
6. You still love to meet characters at the Disney parks
Even though the people inside them are probably your age or even younger.
7. But you have felt a little awkward meeting the princes and princesses (but you do it anyways)
8. You've become a Disney foodie
You've come a long way from those burgers and chicken fingers you worshipped as a child (hello, Dole Whip and Tigger Tails)
9. You've made food from Disney parks at home
Making strawberry twists is super easy, and you get a little taste of the happiest place on earth at home!
10. You have realized the magic that is alcoholic drinks at the Disney parks
Forget Vegas, go to Disney!
11. You've secretly wished someone would propose to you at one of the Disney parks
I think Disneyland Paris would be the prettiest, tbh.
12. You've also secretly wished your wedding could be at Cinderella's castle
And when you found out you can actually do this now, you almost cried.
13. You've dressed up as a Disney character for Halloween as an adult
And you looked flawless.
14. You aren't too fond of all the new changes being added to Disney parks
Because you remember the good ol' days of ToonTown and River Country, and Star Wars will never be Disney to you.
15. You still visit all of the Disney retail stores when you're not in the parks
And buy everything in sight.
16. You know your child's first vacation will be to one of the Disney parks
So you can make them Disney-obsessed adults like yourself (actually these people look crazier than I do, though...)
17. You know the best playlist is a Disney playlist
And you know all the words to every song.
18. You still have various Disney character stuffed animals
And you keep collecting more and more.
19. You've figured out how to make your home feel subtly Disney
Disney-themed wine glasses and pillows are key.
20. You have a Disney credit card or Disney stock, or you've thought about getting them
Why not profit from your favorite company?
21. You know you could never get along with people that hate Disney
Did Ursula steal their souls?
22. You still cry at the disney fireworks
We all just miss our childhood, let's be real.
