"Well, Jasmine has the best hair but Aurora has that cute owl to dance with, and Peter Pan got to live in Neverland with the mermaids. Lilo is ME when I was little, and I always thought that Pleakley from that film was underrated. Oh my god, what about Mulan? Did you know you can meet her sometimes in the Disney parks?! I miss Disneyland so much. And Mickey. OH, did I say Mickey before?"
8. YOU'RE ALWAYS HAVING TO DEFEND YOUR HOLIDAY DESTINATION OF CHOICE TO PEOPLE WHO DON'T GET IT .
Going back to Spain on the regz seems quite normal. A holiday home in Greece? Swell! But tell someone you're going to a Disney Park again and they turn into Judgey McJudgerson. You're not too bothered, though – if they want to miss out on Mickey ears and popcorn then they can be your guest (and if they didn't get that Beauty and the Beast reference then GOOD RIDDANCE).
9. YOU LOVE MICKEY MOUSE MORE THAN MOST PEOPLE LOVE THEIR OWN PARENTS .
You've tried many times but you can never properly express your eternal adoration for the main mouse. If you see him on a t-shirt you sort of HAVE to buy it and if he features on any kind of snack/food/drink it automatically tastes ten times better – you're not sure why. Plus, real-life-Disney-Parks Mickey gives the BEST hugs.
Sure, you could have bought those 4-for-a-pound glasses you saw in IKEA but did you really like them? Could they have made you happy like your vintage Snow White glassware has? You think not. Now you have your own abode you are the happy owner of the Minnie Mouse utensils and Dumbo cushion set you've wanted since you were 15.
10. YOU REGULARLY HAVE TO SUPPRESS YOUR ENTHUSIASM FOR DISNEY FILMS .
When someone says they haven't watched Sleeping Beauty for ages, your initial thought is "Wow, me too. It's probably been about a MONTH."But it's alright – you've just learned to keep your excitedness in check and make a mental note to watch the movie in question the second you arrive home. *Puts on tiara*
