Do Male Disney Fanactics Exist?

[Disneyfan63]

Hi,

The sports-loving public of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania and its surrounding areas is partying today because, for the first time since 1993, our Phillies are in the Major League Baseball postseason.

I have had the season ticket Sunday game plan for the Phillies since that incredible season, so I went yesterday to a sold-out, electric, Citizens Bank Park and watched most of the game from my seat in the lower level. I got there a half hour early and had lunch at MCFadden's Ballpark, an Irish pub attached to the stadium.

Two of the bar's big-screen TVs were showing the Marlins-Mets game, so I joined several fellow patrons in cheering Florida's seven-run first inning. Later, having watched the first inning of the Phillies game from the bar while devouring chicken fingers, a pulled-pork sandwich, and chocolate cake, and paying for same, I settled into Section 113, Row 40, Seat 19 and saw the Phillies dispatch the Washington Nationals by a score of 6-1. CBP rocked with cheers as the Marlins-Mets final was posted on the out-of-town scoreboard (Phils rule! Mets drool!), and erupted again two innings later as Brett Myers struck out the final Washington batter and the Phillies players streamed onto a celebratory pile at the pitchers mound.

Standing in front of my seat, yelling, clapping, and generally carrying on, I looked back at the previous three seasons in which we were so close, and yet so far, from the playoffs. Close counts only in horseshoes and hand grenades, and it was great to see a Philly team other than the Eagles have some success.

October baseball in Philadelphia. How sweet it is!

I never thought of myself as boring.

Congrats to the Phillies.

Let me tell you a story. This past April, my dw forced me against my will on to a plane (for the first time of my life) which was headed toward Orlando. We got off the plane, went to Pop Century, got our bags to our room, went straight to the bus stops, and went to EPCOT! I was tired, had a migrane from the first flight of my life, and was very...uh...upset. After a few rides, dinner, and a few good arguments, we FINALLY left for pop...It was about 10:30 p.m. which is only 9:30 at home so my wife was still gung-ho. I was so tired and in so much pain, I couldn't sleep. At six in the morning, which means it's FIVE to my "body clock", the phone rings. It was Mickey Mouse. I was not very happy with him. I woke up with the same migrane and had a very sore back. I was not too pleased with my wife either, as she was STILL in her "gung-ho" additude. We made it to the bus stop, and headed for Magic Kingdom. I'm here to tell you, when I turned the corner and saw Cinderella's Castle for the first time, I stopped and heard only one thing. It was my wife saying,
"Are you OK"? When I snapped back to reality, I told her to turn around and face me. and I took her picture. I stood there, motionless for another few long seconds before she said,
"There's more you know..." From that moment, until the time we checked out I was a 9 year old boy in a 29 year old man's body! Since then we have widened our Disney movie collection to 45, we have Disney place settings on our dinner table, my wife HAD a hidden mickey decal on her car until someone stole it, and if it wern't for a pair of VERY expensive eye surguries, (My wife was born with cateracts) we'd have planned our next trip. I now watch the Disney Channel more than anything else, and am hoping they bring back the short cartoons I grew up watching. I think the Disney Channel has kinda gotten away from the "Disney Magic". It would be great to see the shorts, and clips of Walt Disney himself on the Disney Channel during commercial breaks, but that's just me. When we are blessed with a baby, his or her nursery will be decorated with Mickey Mouse and his friends. So to finally answer your question, YES!!! I'd also like to know if anyone knows how to put Powerpoint presentaions on the net, as I made a presentaion of our trip and want to show everyone!

WOW what an awesome story. My dh has also been transformed into a Disney fan. We go every year and love it. Continue making memories---it is so much fun!

I read in the paper that the Mets lost it. My sister was probably there, witnessing the big fall. 7 games up with two weeks to go! All I can say is...

Go Sox!

I am a 31 year old Disney Fanatic and I have never met a man who likes Disney even 1/4 of as much as I do !! Do they even exist? Once they put in sports Is all their capacity for fun-loving and free-spiritedness (is that a word?) removed? I hope not!! All can not be lost!!

Help me please!!

Welcome to the DIS. Who would have thought a post you started would have turned out so great. I've been trying to read and catch up on the thread while passing time at work. It's a slow Monday for me. I too am looking for my but have yet to find him. But I have meet some great people here on the DIS and the great stories of finding that special someone on DIS have been comforting. Even the stories of proposals at WDW are awesome!

There are so many awesome people on the DIS and I'm glad to be part of this community

It gives me hope that there are WDW Fanatics like me and my family around. And who knows maybe soon we'll all find our or someday really soon! Keep your fingers crossed. Oh and if anyone was wondering I'm a 28yr single christian female w/o children from Maryland.

Hey all,

Just ran across this topic and thought it would be fun to share and to read

I have been a Disney Fan my entire life, which all started with watching The Wonderful World of Disney on Sunday nights when i was a kid.

It led to my grandparents flying us down to Florida to visit them and it came with a 1 day trip to the Magic Kingdom (the only part back then). I was so thrilled with that trip. I so wanted to go back for years and years and finally my friend said let's do a trip down together. I flew down with her, her daughter and her daughters father (her ex). We planned out this trip and stayed at CB resort. It was guys inn one room and girls in the other. I spent many a time in the parks with them, but let me tell you I spent the entire 7 days on property and never left, while they went off property several times, so I did the parks by myself and enjoyed every minutes of my time.

Fast forward to 1994 and I was planning a move south from Maine to get to where it was warmer and to really experience life without my family (g)

I visited with a friend introduced to by a mutual friend. I decided to move to Atlanta when another internet friend offered me a place to live for a few months until I could get settled. My friend Kelly said, why don't you come down a few weeks earlier, we have this trip to Disney planned and would you like to come with us?

OMG...I was speechless and it was how I started my many many trips to Disney and how I started a wonderful relationship with the man I married (legally in Vancouver, BC...another whole story!) and have spent 12 happy years together.

Kelly and I adore Disney..we get our fix wherever and whenever we can. When we visited NYC a few years ago, our first souvenirs were...Mickey NYC Shirts from the NYC Disney Store! LOL!

This trip we take in just FOUR DAYS...Kelly told me back in late Spring, go ahead and plan this trip, and left all the details all up to me, the consummate trip planner

Oh as for Baseball, I became a Braves Fan living here of course, but never give up on Red Sox! When we got home to New England 2 summers ago, Kelly came home with Red Sox stuff, so now we both root for both teams.
Was even better when the Red Sox took the Division Title, now we just need another WS Title!

Mike...It is okay to be a Braves fan, afterall they are originally from Boston. And don't they do their spring training at WDW?

Guess what folks, my DD was still signed on when I posted the previous posting about the Braves.

THAT'S RIGHT!!!!

LET'S GO, RED SOX!~!

 

[CoasterAddict]

Are ya really from Boston

Nope, *from* Seattle, *living* in Boston. It shows, doesn't it?
Hey, in 2004 I watched *all* of *every* blessed game from game 4 of the AL playoffs on. --and baseball games should *not* last until 2am!

 

[NH_Bubba]

Was there ever a better time to be a Boston Sports Fan???
The Next Month is going to be real tough to keep up with the Sox and the Pats both Rolling along. I'm hoping the Sox sweep the 'A's because I have season Tickets to the Pats and If the sox are playing on Sunday we'll never get out of the parking lots.
But than again it wouldn't be bad watching the game with a few thousand of my best friends

Except your forgot on Bruins, maybe they will even report for duty this year
Sounds like a terrible dilema, I would pick the Pats over the Sox.
