Are you known as 'the person who goes to Disney'?

[mergatroid]

Just curious as to whether people know you as the person who goes to Disney? I don't bore people with my love for Disney World, however I'm aware at work I'm kind of known as the guy who goes to Disney every year. I think with my wife and I being in our forties and not having any kids, that behind my back one or two think we're a bit odd going to Disney each year to be honest. It doesn't really bother me as we love going and don't do it to impress other people, sometimes though I do get the questions "Isn't it just for kids" or "Why do the same thing every year".

Anyway I don't mind being 'the guy who goes to Disney' but just wondered what people's perception is of you for being that person?

I'm not, but I know some who are! I'm the freak who has been obsessed with Disney all their life but has only gone once. Lol

Wasn't before 9/29/13. I am now. Going for the fourth time 4/5-9 with the folks. The previous three times was just myself.

I've only done the resort thing 3 times but I do day visits about twice a month. So it is safe to say I'm 'that person'. I suppose it doesn't hurt that I'm always checking in on Facebook....

I was in high school but where I work there are more avid fans who go twice a year or more. I only go every four years.

As a male Wdw fanatic, I get lots of negative feedback from people who dont understand my love for it. Everyone in my circle and family knows, and every time I book a trip, they always say why there again? Where i come from, wdw is associated with families, children, relationships, or women. It doesn't help that i travel solo. But i am the resident expert in central Illinois, lol.

I try to go as often as I can. Got some of those questions before, but I just tell people that it's not just for kids and that I'm also young at heart.

thankfully, I have a boss that loves to go to wdw too. We can get our Disney fix, in between trips, by talking to each other about wdw and the trips we had and our upcoming trips.

 

[PrincessNelly_NJ]

Yup!
My co-workers always give me weird looks when they find out I'm going back to Disney. They have made comments like "Normally people without kids don't go to Disney at all and YOU go every year, that's weird!" or "Oh no! I'm going to tell Mickey on you." followed by laughing in my face about me liking Disney.



It does annoy me a little but whatever I enjoy Disney and that's all that matters. *pixie dust*

Then I must be the resident expert from "northern Illinois". We too, have gone many times with no kids. The last time we went, in January, we didn't even tell anyone we were going. No one even knew we were gone....until we got a nasty snowstorm and had to call my sister to go to our house and check things and "please shovel, I'll owe you"....

I'm known to my co-workers as 'The Disney Girl" AKA the girl who will plan your trip for free and give you a .doc document as good as any book you can buy. Not even kidding, some dude from another floor of the building I work stopped me today on my way to the elevators shouting 'hey, Disney Girl' and proceeded to say exactly that to me.

I don't mind really, I like helping people with their vacation, it's a way to pass the time till the next trip.

And yes, I sent him an email with the Word document!

 

[G8rchamps]

We did AP's this year and have taken some heat, but they all call when they go to ask for advice!

 

[draybook]

Yes, I am. As a matter of fact, it's a running joke with some of my co-workers. Every time they bring up one of our trips the amount I paid grows to enormous proportions.

 

[Tomi-Rocket]

Yes, I am.

 

[Plutos Pal]

I'm one of the resident Disney buffs in my family and probably the only one in my group of friends or at work. Most people I know dread their disney trips. Then I tell them about the things that I do when I plan my trips and then their attitude changes.

 

[Pumbas Nakasak]

No, I believe its more rum and tequila based.

 

[officialtom]

My friends can't believe how much I like going to Disney as an adult. It really is my favourite place to vacation. I love the food, the weather (usually go in March-April), the shopping, how friendly everyone is, how relaxed the resorts are... there's nowhere better.

 

[lostpro9het]

Yes, yes I am...

 

[Foolish Mortal]

Oh absolutely !!

I get the same thing in my office, but it's funny how when someone is planning a trip I'm the one they come to.

 

[Susan Savia]

Yep! It doesn't bother me what others think. We love it and thats all that matters.
