Oh how we love Disney!

I really dont know how this happened. Dustin and I have always loved Disney having grown up with it like any other normal kid in this world. But somehow, over the last 4 years its become more than an obsession. Its become almost a lifestyle that is only steadily growing worse. We actually had to set a month to month Disney store budget at one point because we were in that damn store every other day. No exaggeration. The budget didnt last too long. How can you pass up snowglobes that are 75% off when they were originally over 100 bucks?? How can you pass up cups, cds, travel mugs (that are NEVER used), salt & pepper shakers, slippers, posters...everything?! We just cant. Its an incredible weakness.

Our spare bedroom that I am in right now has the sole purpose of being our Disney room. We have high hopes for it once we're done with all this wedding nonsense. We have all my snowglobes here and our Disney frames with lovely Disneyland pictures in them. We also put the Star Wars posters in here because we figure Star Tours is in the parks so why not? In our bathroom we have a Mickey Mouse shower curtain. Yes...yes we do. Dining room has Nightmare before Christmas candlestick holders. They are lovely. Im sitting at the computer listening to our many Disney cds. Dustin is most likely listening to the same toons in his car on the way to work every morning. Listening to them in the car together only results in very loud, excited screaming that we consider "singing", with the music cranked way way up and occasionally the windows rolled down so we can share with the world how warped our brains are.

Our dog is named after the Little Mermaid. I spent my 21st bday with the Disney princesses. Our honeymoon will be at Tokyo Disney. We're having a Mickey Mouse ice sculpture at our wedding. Our cake topper is a Precious Moments figurine with Mickey ears. We have more Disney movies than any couple without any kids should have. Thinking about the fact that we will never have the chance to meet Walt Disney brings tears to BOTH of our eyes. I've cried at both Disney parks that I've been to and will probably continue crying my whole life. My eyes welled up when we went to Disney On Ice. I'm pretty sure we were the only people there without children. And we were the loudest singers there. I'm sure of it.

Dustin researches the life and times of Walt Disney in his spare time. When we retire we plan on moving to L.A. and working at Disneyland. We want matching Mickey tattoos. I want the Beauty and the Beast castle tattooed on me. We would probably give up our first born to have a complete collection of the Disney paintings Thomas Kincaide is in the process of doing. If our kids dont like Disney we're giving them up for adoption. Or selling them so we can use the money to take a Disney cruise. We know every movie thats coming out in theaters or out of the vault at least a year before. We watch all the behind the scenes crap on our dvds of the classics and wish we lived in that time. Oh to be there on the opening day of Disneyland!

It will never end. It's sick. Its a sick obsession that only emotional Disney freaks would understand. And I really dont know how it got so bad. Its pretty insane.
