A few years ago we celebrated milestone b-days and anniversary by going to WDW, cruising on the Disney Wonder through the Panama Canal, then going to Disneyland -- all in one vacation.

Several years ago a church youth group had a trivia contest against their adult advisors. DH and I were brought in as ringers, um, support for the adults.

DH and I both wear Mickey Mouse watches, and our walls have Disney artwork, including several animation production cels.
 
Number 25 isn't relevant any more sadly, Disney ended their relationship with McDonald's and happy meal toys have not been Disney for a while now!

Sadly, as you put it, yes. But I have the complete set of drinking glasses! :)
 
::MickeyMo Gonna go ahead and assume #1 is hyperbole. If not, that list is more sad than funny...:sad1:

At the time I think I was figuratively speaking, not literally. I know where you're going wtih this one. One could say, "I live for Saturdays!", but that doesn't mean that that's all that person lives for. It doesn't have the same connotation. Don't take it too seriously.

106) You can recite, word-for-word, Walt's Disneyland dedication speech
107) You know the release dates for all the Disney animated movies
108) You know who Bob Gurr, Dick Nunis, John Lassiter, and Joe Rhode are
 
Yeah, couldn't get through that list. I'm sure a good amount of them apply to me, but my eyes were starting to cross lol. #16 is true- I just ordered some new Tinker Bell checks lol. My friends laugh at me!
 
I have belonged to the DIS since 2003 (and lurked for a few years before)
Eeyore is hanging off the inside rear view mirror of my wife's car. (Funny thing is, she LOVES Eeyore, but absolutely HATES Winnie the Pooh)
I own Disney stock, so long that my 10 shares are now 120 shares due to splits.
I have been to the Walt Disney Family Museum (which is all about what Disney used to be, not what it is today)
Star Wars is not Disney
