I am proof that there is no such thing as "too old for Disney."
I love all things Disney just as much as I did as a child...probably even more so now! Our annual trip to Walt Disney World? It's one of the highlights of my year! I may or may not be caught wearing Mickey Mouse ears as I walk through the theme park each year...
I love Disney so much that my china cabinet...well, see for yourself...
And this is just one section of my 3 shelves!
One of my favorite things about going to Walt Disney World is the atmosphere - I always feel like Disney is my happy place. How can you not be happy when you are surrounded by the magic of Disney?
And of course...I love shopping in the theme parks! While I love ordering Disney Collectibles from The Disney Store, I especially love the special items they only have available at the theme parks!
Because I love all things Disney-related so much, I am extra excited to share with D23, the Disney Fan Club!
D23 is the world's only official Disney Fan Club, unlocking the magic of Disney for grown up fans like me by providing unprecedented access to all of Disney's wonderful worlds!
What's so special about D23? Well, I am glad you asked! Some of the great benefits of holding a D23 membership are:

Although I am a huge Disney fan, I do not compare to my father-in-law. So I am entering this for him, because winning this would make his year as he does not have a lot of money to get it himself. By the way, he takes my younger brother-in-law (who has downs syndrome) to Disneyland every single Saturday.
Favorite Disney character: Winnie the Pooh
Favorite Disney movie: Robin Hood (1973)
Favorite Disney theme park: Disneyland in beautiful Anaheim, CA!
I hope I win!!!

My father-in-law also has about 150 Disney pins. He trades them at Disneyland and gives them to my kids from time to time to brighten their day.
