Ever get strange looks because you're a Disney fan?

[Joshnyah]

I totally understand how some people just dont get it, Everyone I work with gives me flack because Of my disney obsession, First off they dont get how I can get off of work on friday and drive to disneyland at least once a month, So they mess with me but its all in good fun, Plus they let me off early most times so I dont get there at midnight. But they will never understand, we are the chosen few.

Ok, I'm not quite 30 but I'm close to it. And yes, I have recieved numerous raised eyebrows and giggles because of my love of all things Disney. I have tons of Disney camp and Hawaiian shirts that I like to wear around town and the house.

But at work is a different story. I work as an aviation refueler at our local airport with a bunch of other blue collar fellas and sometimes they find my love and knowledge of Disney a little frightening. The only thing Disney I have there is in my Wall Locker a few magnets and photos.

It is cool though when I have friends that are making trips to Disney Parks they will call me and ask for advice on where to go and what to do. I used to go to Disneyland numerous times when I was in the service and just loved it. And my wife and I used to travel 2 to 3 times a year from hear to California or Florida. We have an extensive Disney dvd, vhs and blu-ray library along with sculptures, artwork and animation books that I have purchased over the years. My friends will bring their children over to my house and they don't want to leave.

But it's really neat to be mistaken for a Cast Member at a Park by actual cast members or by other guests with questions.

I'm 23 but I get enough dislike from my family haha! They say I'm too old for these things, but my friends are just as obsessed as I am if not more.

[SCUBAbe]

not really, but other than a frame on my desk and a few pictures taken at the parks it's not that obvious. Only one person asked if I like disney. I said yes and she asked if I went a lot. I just said I go when I can I have a pass and she said me too....so yeah, she got it.

Coworkers just taped a poster of Miley Cyrus to my door. Haha as if something like that bothers me. It stays!

My kids make fun of me...whats up with that? and my wife says I'm a total dork but "what-ever" she's the one who works there and can't wait to go back on her days off. and my sisters make fun of me...Is this a Disney Anonomous meeting??? Sniff, I'm getting emotional.

I'm a 25 year old girl. I have lots of disney shirts and one or two purses and even Little Mermaid fleece pants! Yeah, I do get strange looks when I wear them, even in a place like Hot Topic where I get most of it from!

Like one person (when seeing my pink Ariel jacket) asked if I was a bit too old to be wearing something like that. I said "No."

One sister-in-law thinks i'm weird because of my love of Disney and just to get her back, I sent my nephew a stuffed pooh and tigger when he was born because I knew she would never (and so far has never) bought him anything even Mickey Mouse related.

When I wear my Grouchy shirts to the market the checker always smiles. I don't really get my Disney Geek on until I go to the park. Then I pull out the lanyard with pins, the Grouchy hat, the Grouchy sweatshirt, and wear a big smile. Some people look at you, even at Disneyland, and think you're off. But most get into the spirit, laugh, and some ask where I brought the gear.
