31 year old female from MA. To be honest, I long for even one person in my life who fully understands the Disney passion. I would love love love friends who are on the same page, and I would be over the moon to meet a guy who not only gets it but who is equally as passionate about it. Friends or a more-than-a-friend who want/s to over analyze Avatarland, or daydream about Epcot pavilions, or study Mine Train developments, or get that so called lump in the throat daydreaming about finally getting on a
Disney cruise, or about moving to FL and being a wdw local. Having the Disney crazy eyes can be kind of lonely!!! My friends and family for the most part tolerate it but think it's down right weird. A lot of folks see it as movies and amusement parks, not as a massive body of history, work and the long reach of imagination. A friend and her family live in Tampa and go to wdw regularly, so they do understand why I like it, and they appreciate the enthusiasm, but it's still not the same passion. There is someone in my office in another dept who owns dvc with her wife, so I try to chat with her when I can, but that is limited and we just never had a full connection. And some women in my office say they are obsessed with Disney, but they really only mean they have been to the parks growing up and that they like the princesses. Which is wonderful, but not the same passion. I know I'm not the only Disney crazy in my area, but I want a connection who truly gets it. I recently told my boss that I listen to Disney parks podcasts on my long commute, and he replied "what is there to talk about???" Of course it's my boss and there are social norms but I wanted to say "WHAT!" Haha. There is SO much! Surely I can't be too alone in thinking the Dis Podcast team have dream jobs! I'm debating going to the next Dis meet in New England, but I don't think it's for a long time (I believe I just missed the most recent one), but I think I would be more comfortable if I knew that other singles or solos were going, or if I knew folks on the boards... I'm fine going to things by myself in general but I have to imagine those dis meets are jam packed of people excited to talk about Disney, and I'm not sure I would just nose into convos. I'm not shy, but I think it's more that I can't picture the scene. In any event, I have been on these boards for ages but only today ventured over to the singles board. I think I'm just tired of feeling isolated in my Disney fandemonium, so I wanted to see if there are others like me. It's really nice to know that it looks like there are. I hope everyone looking for a fellow Disney lover meets their match.
