The characters aren't real????????????????????????????????????
What evil creature would even suggest such a thing?
My first trip was 1978, and they have fooled me this long???
Okay, then I guess I shouldn't have teared up when I met Dopey for the first time at 38????????????????
What a fool I must be. Geez.
Whatever you do? If they aren't real, and I think that WHO or WHAT ever thought that was a funny thing to say who bite their tongue (preferably OFF

), then PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not tell me - or MORE IMPORTANTLY my children.
They would simply NOT understand my Disney Addiction if they found out that the characters weren't real. They'd just pat me on my head, smile sweetly, and watch quietly as the men in the white coats took me away, and that would be BAD!
