You Know You're Into Disney When Your Kid Says...

I love these stories...

A couple of weeks ago, DD (13) and I were talking about...you guessed it Walt Disney World. She says that she is planning on going to WDW for her honeymoon. I casually mention the possibility that maybe her fiance won't want to honeymoon at Disney World...
She glances at me (with "the look") and says, "Then why would I be marrying him?" :rotfl2: :rotfl2: :rotfl2:

That's gotta be my favorite story, and I wish I would have had that wisdom when I was younger;)
 
I just remembered an incident with my 4 year dd, Her older siblings are from 12-21 years older then her. At 4 she was in her Cindy custome and slippers playing away. I listened from the other room as she ran in from her brother stating, "Oh MY! I lost my slipper.....again louder, OH MY I lost my slipper as it sat in in the kitchen.....She says Prince I said I lost my slipper.... Several minutes go by as I am doing chores and she plays.

I then hear the 16 yr old ds say, K, I will play the prince and even the step mother but I draw the line at the Fairy Godmother....:rotfl:

Good girl. You're raising her right. If she was a little younger, we could fix her up with my 5 year old, who is completely WDW obsessed. Where do I begin...

The kid builds WDW almost every day out of blocks, legos and toys. He has a castle bank that he puts in the middle of the floor, and he improvises the rest of it - Small World is made of blocks that he sets up to look like the column/turret things on the outside, and of course he builds the clock. Epcot is a soccer ball and a hot wheels race track (for test track), he lines up lots of animals and a truck for the Kilimanjaro safari at AK, for HS he builds 2 buildings and puts in his Toy Story people and his Mickey people (TSM and Playhouse Disney). Sprinkled in between are his toy Disney buses, his toy monorail, Then when my husband gets home from work, they take out some of our 500 park maps we've brought home, walk around the living room and pretend "go on rides".

His choice of wardrobe this morning (kind of chilly) was to pick from his Pirates of the Caribbean, Toy Story, Mickey Mouse or Cars sweatshirts.

My debit card is a light blue color, and he calls it the KTTW.

He once told my sister that her house smelled like AKL. :confused3 I don't know if it was what she was cooking, or the air freshener or candle. She, never having been there, was horrified thinking that meant is smelled like animals. :rotfl: Once I explained to her that it was our favorite WDW hotel and he meant it as a compliment, she was OK.

And of course, there's the ever present "I miss Disney" "When can we go to Disney" "I wish I could live at Disney". He even wanted to write them a letter to ask them if he could build his house next to Small World over by stroller parking.
 
When a city buss passed us and I asked DS where he thought it was going and he said "animal kingdom"!
 

Ok...so all of you young'uns know what you're getting into. My DS, 34 now, just sent me Disney's announcement of their Hawaiian DVC and wonders if we're saving up to buy some DVC points there! Yup, he "gets it" from us!

Bobbi:goodvibes

PS. To answer the question, we don't have plans to, but could be persuaded!
 
Oh, I have one! A few years ago, we took our three children to WDW in Feb. In May, our extended family all ate dinner out on Mother's Day at a Banquet-type restaurant. After we were seated, my DD3 asked me..."when will the characters come to our table?" If they only had character meals in Pennsylvania!
 
Just last night, my (just turned) two year old granddaughter, was coloring and singing softly a new song she was learning in her Bible class.

It went something like this:

Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John,
Acts and First Peter Pan,
Captain Hook and Wendy
!


Maybe not exactly what her Sunday School teacher had in mind, but the only Peter she's ever known is Peter Pan, so......
that's what Brooklynn naturally followed with.

She just returned from her sixth trip to Disney World, so I guess her teacher will understand where it's coming from!

That is so cute!:goodvibes
 
This morning, DH was leaving for work, and on his way out, DS(5) stopped him so he because "I have to tell you sumpin' (something) ". Then he said, "Have a good day at work; make lots of money for Disneyworld!" oy, we've created a monster. lol.

Yay, DS says that too, only substituting Disneyland for world. :)
 
you are not the only ones out there but I love your story! thanks for sharing as dh and I both got a chuckle!

That's great!!

It reminds me of when my DDs were about 2 and 4. I overheard the older one explaining the Bible to her little sister. It was something along the lines of "God created the world, and then man sinned, and then Jesus came, and married Cinderella, and they lived happily ever after."

I'm pretty sure that last bit isn't part of any church's beliefs :lmao:
 
for many weeks after our trip to the world last year dd3 (at the time) always was upset when daddy left to take the city bus to work. we would ask her why she was so sad and she said she didn't think it was fair daddy got to go to disney world every morning and she couldn't go too!
 
My teacher says that her family has the opposite problem. She was at Disney during Christmastime and brought the real world into Disney.

Apparently, they were taking pictures by the christmas trees around their hotel, and my teacher's mom wanted a couple more by the tree with multicolored lights. She said:
"Let's get a picture by the colored tree."

Her sister responded:
"I think they prefer African-American trees.":rotfl:
 
So many of these stories sound familiar. We also play "Disney Family Trivia", this is where we ask each other trivia questions about past Disney trips. Anything form which park and ride did we visit first to what was the name of mousekeeper or room number in a particular resort. The other day I noticed a airplane overhead and said I wonder where they are going? My wife immediatley yelled DISNEY WORLD! My DD9 loudly cleared her throat and pointed out that that was impossible...."That plane is flying West not South so they must be going to Disney Land!" It is a never ending Disney Soap Opera in our house!
 
I used to teach where my son (5) goes to school. This year I changed schools for a multitude of reasons, but one being that I would make more money. When DS's teacher asked why I wasn't teaching at his school anymore, he said, "So that mommy can make more money and we can go to Disney World more times!" Everyone gets a kick out of that! The sad part is, he is pretty much correct, so I don't bother to correct him :)
 
I recently found a "hidden Mickey" on our cat. My DD took the sparkly MM clip that is put in your hair during the BBB make-over and attached it to the cat's collar. I asked her how long it has been there and she said she put it on her when we got home.(We took our last trip in May.) Yeah, we too have a lot of Disney stuff going on at home. :)
 
dd 13 wants a green mermaid bottom made for swimming :fish: emailed me the pattern and found material...I realized she does want to be a real mermaid, or is it eric she pines for?

She still lines up for Ariel!

You should show her www.weekiwachee.com I live in a town called weeki wachee springs. It is known as The City of Live Mermaids. We have an underwater theatre where they perform. in it's hayday a lot of big stars like Elvis visited the mermaids. They filmed Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid there and the mermaids actually went to the premier in a giant tank. They filmed other things there too and the mermaids have been featured in lots of travel shows, videos and magazines. She'll be thrilled to see real live mermaids!!
 
Just yesterday 3.5yo ds said "I want to wake up in the middle of the night and go to Disney", we had a VERY early flight on our Sept. trip. My mom recorded him "writing a letter" to Disney World, it's so cute. Last year he thought every airplane was going to Disney World.
It's just so cute how kids do incorporate this into their thinking!!
And I agree, if my husband didn't want to go to Disney on our honeymoon, I seriously would have reconsidered, lol!!!!!
 
Last year, we went to a wedding about 2 weeks after our WDW vacation. During the reception, my DD (who was 2 at the time) kept insisting that "we need to meet that white princess and take pictures with her and can she sign our book?" Of course, I cracked up and when I told the bride (who was going to WDW for her honeymoon) she also laughed and said that was the best compliment she'd gotten all night.
 
Today, my DS6 was looking through the laundry and called down from upstairs, yelling "Honey, where is my supersuit?" (Quote from Incredibles.) He cracks me up...
