I am surrounded by Disney at home and at work. But, when I’m really missing the parks, I tend to find myself watching YouTube videos filmed in the parks (especially Epcot!) and browsing restaurant menus online. For some reason, Disney fever seems to hit me bad every spring. There is something about about more sunshine, warmer temps, and blooming flowers that says “Disney parks” to me!For this week's Sundays are for Disney, I want to know how you get into Disney mode or bring a touch of Disney into your life when you're back home. Do you have a Disney mug for coffee? Flip through a photo album? Start planning another trip?
My biggest keep the magic going thing would be the nightly going to bed tradition with my younger daughter. We ask one question about Disney to each other, we have been doing it for almost three years. The questions are totally random and you have to think of it in the moment. We both answer and for a few minutes each night we get to go back to disney. About a month ago it dawned on me to start writing the questions down. We could probably have well over 1000 questions by now. We have managed to remember 150 of them.
Have you met Gerald from RezRuns?SAFD: Pretty much all the above! Mugs (My favorite is a Disneyland 1955 because Disneyland and I were "born" the same year), ear hats and baseball caps/visors, many shirts, picture frames, the "If You Can Dream It, You Can Do It" medal rack, plushes (Mickey and Mr. Toad sit on each side of the TV), statuettes and a music box, Mickey-shaped fruit basket, Wine and Dine cutting boards and glasses, older AP and runDisney magnets on the washer and dryer (because the fridge is paneled with wood) and the latest on my car, Poly leis and POFQ beads hanging on the dresser mirror, Mickey garden gnome in the backyard flower bed, Lumiere and a framed picture of Mickey on the mantel, a Pandora bracelet full of Disney charms and various Mickey and Minnie earrings, one Dooney from Disneyland race weekend, a few pins (though not really a collector), a digital picture frame with photos of the latest trip rotating constantly, using the Disney H2O+ bath and body products, listening to Sorcerer radio or Amazon Disney music, reading books (the latest is Eat Like Walt), reading the Disney Parks Blog, Disney Food Blog, D23 and All Ears newsletters, watching YouTube videos (especially my favorite RezRuns), and of course watching live streams from Tim Tracker, Resort 1 TV with Josh and Jenna, and Randomland Adventures with Justin. Also, I can make a pretty mean Canadian cheddar cheese soup from the Le Cellier recipe, and we are planning at least two Disney vacations ahead.
Too much? Some friends think we have a "Disney Addiction." I think they are right, but it's the best kind of addiction I can think of!
I met him on the safari during Wine and Dine and then on course during the half this year.@rteetz I haven't officially met Gerald, but have run right next to him a couple of times, including Marathon weekend just before the Magic Kingdom entrance. He seems like a great guy, and he has such a beautiful voice and presence about him. A couple of years ago I got curious and Googled him, and once I learned about his vision problems and the grace with which he handled it all, I admire him even more!
