With the cold weather fast approaching in New England, I wish I could escape somewhere warm and fun, aka, I’d rather be at Disney right now. If you’re like me and you can’t stop thinking about the Happiest Place on Earth, you’ve probably experienced all 30 of these signs that you’re a real Disney Fanatic!
1. You know useless facts about the parks, like all of Disneyland, can fit in the parking lot of Magic Kingdom. Yup, I said that right.
2. You’ve gone so many times you can recite the spiels like “!Por favor, manténgase alejado de las puertas."
3. You have your favorite restaurants you prefer to go to every year.
4. Somehow people can just tell you're an expert and ask you for directions. Sometimes you’ll even point with two fingers like a real cast member.
5. You have more fun talking to cast members about their jobs than going on the rides themselves.
6. You know hidden secrets around the park, like how the old phone in The Chapeau really works!
7. You have a hard time picking which Disney accessory to wear. Ears? Headband? Hat? Tiara?
8. You collect something from the parks to remember your trips like mugs, pressed pennies, etc.
9. You’ve lied about it being your birthday at least once so you can get a special button.
10. You fangirl when you see your favorite characters at a meet and greet and you don’t care that you’re an adult.
11. You look for hidden Mickeys on rides instead of paying attention to the ride itself.
12. You have at least one annual courtesy hotel mug laying around your house somewhere.
13. You feel personally attacked when they change a section of a ride or take away a ride altogether.
14. You prefer the old fast pass system.
15. You take advantage of Magic Hours.
16. You find inside jokes like, “When’s the 3 o'clock parade?” funny. Guys…it’s at 3 o’clock!
17. You own Disney’s Greatest Hits CD or have a Spotify list of songs from the parks, not the movies.
18. Of course, you have music from the movies, too.
19. Everything tastes better when it's in the shape of Mickey Mouse.
20. You have a traditional photo spot you have to take every time you go back.
21. You’ve learned not to run back to your hotel when a massive storm hits. Wait it out in a show and then the park is practically all yours.
22. Half of your closet is filled with Disney apparel.
23. You know the best locations to watch the parades or fireworks from.
24. You put a Disney quote on your graduation cap.
25. You have at least four lanyards of pins you’ve acquired over the years.
