Are you in the Closet?

[JimFitz]

Are you a closet Disney fan? I am out of the closet at home, but when at work and with friends I am buried in the closet....somewhere behind the snow boots.

I'm sitting in a meeting today with the usual suits in a conference room. We are discussing our 3 year strategy and whether or not we should continue to expand in Asia. Everyone is buried in the presentation and I am thinking......."I wonder what Toy Story Mania is like?"......I can't believe Space Mountain is going to be closed for 1.5 yrs"............The review Pete did of the Poly was really funny"........"Should we stay at the Poly on our next trip?" ......." I should get a Poly Pin for my collection"........

I then get pulled back to work by a coworker asking me a question.

ARE YOU IN THE CLOSET OR DO YOU WEAR IT LOUD AND PROUD?

My coworkers all think I'm nuts...so I'm definitely NOT in the closet!

I have a Mickey gooseneck lamp, framed picture of me, dh and Mickey, signed Mickey postcard, Cinderella Castle postcard, stuffed Mickey a coworker gave me and TWO Mickey themed desk sets ...with a Goofy stapler that doesn't work!!

Yeah, I'm nowhere NEAR the closet!

Most everyone I know thinks I'm nuts. I mentioned I was going on vacation in about a week when I was at the hair salon - someone asked me where I was going and my hairdresser said Disney World - she never goes anywhere else.

Not exactly true, but pretty darn close.

I'm not bashful about my love for Disney. Like you, I think about it a lot. I heard a co-worker talk about vacationing at WDW this past summer. After our meeting, I made a bee-line to her office to talk Disney with her.

 

[cslittle999]

Definitely not in the closet. Everyone knows our family loves Disney.

 

[tinkbutt]

Everyone who knows me knows I LOVE DISNEY I have the tinkerbell tattoo to prove it!

 

[BernardandMissBianca]

Loud and Proud. I was a Starbucks this morning and the girl behind the counter was asking how our recent trip was, she is headed down in Jan. The other cashier thought we were crazy talking about EMH, hotels, weather etc. IT was comical!

And everyone in town knows to ask me for help when planning disney trips.

 

[simonkodousek]

Nope, no longer in the closet about my love for Disney. Everybody in my family knows that, when they are thinking about going to WDW, I'm the person to talk to.

Let's see, there are the sorcerer mickey ears, the golden ears, the black ears, the Mr. Potato Head disney parts (and Mr. Potato Head) and sharks from finding Nemo in my office. And a ball and chain from Pirates of Caribbean. Guess I'm not in the closet.

the LGMH on my back pack is a dead give away

 

[calypso*a*go-go]

I think I'm a little in -- a little out. I just quit talking about it to the people I see on a regular basis because I was tired of their standard response..."oh, you're going there again?" A few of them will ask me questions from time to time because they might contemplate going to WDW or DLR, but for the most part it's just my own little private obsession.

 

[WaltD4Me]

Definitely out. My desk is huge and it's a good thing because I have my 2004 tourist Mickey beanie on it, along with tourist Mickey beanie 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and of course no year Where Magic Lives Mickey beanie. My bullentien board is full of Disney pins and my pencil cup full of character shaped Disney pens. I think it's my Disney coffee mug that gives me away though.

Yep, some people make fun of me and roll their eyes.....do I care? Nope.

It is widely known by family, friends, students, and co-workers that I'm a big Disney fan. When I went back to school so many people assumed (correctly) that I went to Disney this summer! My new assistant principal even found out about my love of Disney and I found out she's a big fan, too and her family went to Disneyland this summer. Somehow the topic of DVC came up and she seemed quite interested!

 

[disneygrlkat]

I'm for sure in the closet. My mom is still the one paying for my Disney trips, so she knows how annoying I can be when I want to go to Disney, and she and some other family members have seem me in action in the parks, but besides that, no one else really has any idea.

 

[wishspirit]

Kinda in, kinda out. Anyone who knows me well know about my Disney obsession, however most people don't.

I think most of my classes at uni does though, when we had the lesson on Disney, and i knew more than the teacher!

 

[disneyholic family]

are you kidding???????????????????????????????????????????

i am so far out of the closet.....i couldn't possibly get further out than i already am...

EVERYONE knows i'm a psycho disneyholic.....and that's a major understatement.....

they all make fun of us for our annual pilgrammages, but who cares.....

when they ask , "what do you DO there for 3 weeks every year ???????????"

i look at them and ask, "and what do YOU do all summer long at your cottage every year?????"

That's if i even bother answering....

i really don't care what other people think....it's their problem not mine...

i love my family.....i love life ....i love disney....if other people have a problem with that, it's their problem not mine......

you only live once...you shouldn't worry about what other people think....
if you're not hurting anyone else, then why should it be of their concern....

life's too short to worry about what the neighbors or anyone else think....
(and speaking of neighbors, we have new ones .....i'm contemplating getting a rotweiler....'nuf said)...

 

[cccm]

In the closet at work!

While I do have a couple of the shaped pens and a couple of pencils on my desk, that is pretty much it. I don't have a lot of Disney stuff around in general. We go about every year, great for DD and I to get away.

With friends, they are realizing this year as I am planning a trip and am helping others as well. So I am opening the door to the closet with them.

 

[kab407]

I am so far out of the closet, I can't even see it anymore!
Single gal who owns DVC. Need any more proof?

Folks at work pretty much know who to see when they are planning on heading down to the World. I had lunch with one of the Assistant as she was planning a trip for her family. I have two who already have asked me to pick up info for them when I'm down in 2 weeks.

 

[OKW Lover]

Definitely not in the closet. Everybody that knows me knows my love for WDW. I'm often asked when my next visit is. (Usual response, "Next month" or "Just got back").

Be Out. Be Proud!
