“You’ve Got To Be Kidding” is parody. Allow yourself the opportunity to have a little fun . . .

Many of us like to think we are Disneyland’s number one fan.  And many more like to think we might crack the top ten.  But we all pale in comparison to one man.  Let’s take a moment to recall why he is, indeed, the most interesting Disneyland fan in the world.

When he stays “off-property” it becomes “on-property”.

He once lived for an entire year on churros, corn dogs, and Dole Whip.

He actually found something to like about Superstar Limo.

He is allowed to take flash photography…but never does.

He attends Mickey’s Halloween party dressed as himself.

Disneyland offers a “Walk in His Footsteps” tour.

In every on-ride picture his hair is perfect (and his beard looks marvelous).

The park is full of hidden “hims”.

Characters stand in line to have their pictures taken with him.

Broken rides start back up when he gets in line – even ones that are down for refurbishment.

He once rode the Carousel of Progress backwards and went back in time.

He never gets Jar-Jar Binks on Star Tours.

When he would attend Freeze the Night, it wouldn’t be lame.

He doesn’t require special glasses to see It’s Tough to be a Bug in 3-D.

He can ride Small World and not want to strangle the next person he hears humming that song.

He keeps his arms and legs inside the vehicle at all times, without being asked.

Imagineers ask how they can get his job.

He stands in line at City Hall to give compliments.

He arrives early to save the perfect spot for watching fireworks, and then gives it up to anyone who looks like they’ve had a bad day

When he rides an attraction, pre-recorded spiels include his name

When he takes the Bakery Tour, he turns down the free sourdough bread

He can buy gum.

He is…the most interesting Disneyland fan in the world.

“I don’t always go to theme parks.  But when I do, I prefer Disneyland.  Stay happy my friends.”

Mike lives in Phoenix, Arizona and has two claims to fame. The first is that he was born the day Disneyland opened. So, yes, he is old. The second is that he is the funniest internal auditor in the profession of internal auditing. Yes, a very low bar. Yes, this is akin to being the sanest person in the asylum. So why not combine those two great achievements? Why not combine that love for Disneyland with a slightly offbeat sense of humor? I guess we'll all find out.
