Today, while reading posts from the Disney listserv I belong to, they asked an interesting question: What actual moment did you fall in love with Disney?
To which I answered, with Disney geek acronyms:
My mother could probably answer this better than I but, I believe I first fell in love with Disney when I was about 3 years old. My Poppy (my mother's father) taped all of the Silly Symphonies for us to watch and I would just play it over and over and then I would put Snow White in the equation and that would be on repeat as well. At 3, I had already taken over the living room along with my pal Disney. I was obsessed and still am at 28.
I feel that Disney has always been a part of my life and my parents are to blame. They had their honeymoon in WDW in 1976 and stayed at the Contemporary. My older brother's first stuffed animal was an odd looking Winnie the Pooh that they purchased during that trip. In 2007, my husband and I got engaged in Cinderella Castle. Just this December, my parents and aunt and uncle just became DVC members. We are going again in August and I cannot wait. I know there are plenty of things I have not done yet. So, to date, I have been to WDW 12 times and Disneyland once. We also have plans to travel to the new DVC property in Hawaii in 2011. I know everyone will laugh at me because I still travel with my parents on vacations at 28 years old but that is what Disney means to me. It is all about family and not having to be a grown up.
I can't pinpoint a date and time but, I know how it all began...
