Do you show your inner Disney outside of the parks?

[makeupagoodbye]

Being lucky enough living so close to disney world (before only four hours, now only 15 minutes!) its safe to say ive been to disney a lot. probably four times a year since being born...25 years. I know inside of the parks, i can wear my lanyard with my pins, wear my mickey shirts, my hats, just act like a kid and be accepted, i feel like im more at home at disney then i do at my house :lol: . outiside of the parks, its different. ive been picked on and teased my whole life in school wearing such things outside of the parks (usually my disney shirts) but it hasnt made me ashamed - i feel walt is my personal hero and no one quite understands that then myself and of course my mom. i was just wondering if maybe anyone else feels embarassed or feels they shouldnt be so expressive with their inner disney outside of the parks. I feel no shame, i have stitch on my car, mickey danglers, keychains, and my clothes. my room is no different, posters, and of course my movies...everyone finds it weird but i dont, anyone else the same way? :sohappy:

I'm off to work wearing my Grumpy "I'm right, you're wrong. Any questions?" t-shirt

When I was a "suit wearer" I used to wear a Mickey tie at work - Now its a couple of Disney sweatshirts in the cooler UK weather and a short sleeved shirt in summer. No problems !!

 

[dazzer68]

All i'm gonna say here is Ditto, just ditto :wave:

As Walt said to Donald in one of his TV Shows, "Be Yourself"

I'm lucky that where I work, I can dress very casually (even shorts and t-shirts). So half of the time, I wear my disney t-shirts. I also wear my ID badge attached to an ID holder that I bought at the World of Disney Store in Downtown Disney at WDW (can't find it anymore there).

And then there's my office. Someone has called it the Happiest Office On Earth. To say that it is covered with Disney memorabilia and pictures and other stuff is an understatement. When people at work bring their children to work, inevitably, they would bring them to visit my office.

So yes, I think my "inner Disney" is on display quite glaringly outside of the parks. :lol:

Zz.

 

[jonesenon4]

:sohappy: without a doubt i show my disney side. i wear my disney hats everyday at work. i have disney stickers up at work. i wear a disney shirt when im not working. i also have my disney antenna ball and license plate. besides all that not a day goes by when i dont talk about my next trip to someone and also planning on a mickey tattoo. next trip oct. 7 thru oct.14:sohappy:

 

[DisneyFanJen]

My inner Disney Fan is soo obvious!

My office looks like a Disney shrine and people don't ask where I'm going on vacation, they just ask "When are you going next?" :ROFLOL:

 

[bellanotte]

I like showing my inner disney. I have a stitch antenna topper and I wear my disney t-shirts. My backpack is disney and so is my wallet. However, I do have a dilemma. I just started pin trading and I'm going to wdw with my school marching band in 9 days. I'm not sure if the other band kids will understand pin trading and if it's too much effort. I don't want them to give up trying to understand and just tease me all week. So, I do show my inner disney, but I definitely know what you mean about teasing.

 

[Nansafan]

I wear Mickey Mouse earrings (2 in each ear) every day. I wear my Mickey watch, was carrying a WDW purse until a couple weeks ago when I broke the strap. My desk at work has the Mickey hands desk set and I use a Mickey hand mousepad at work also. Yes I show my inner Disney outside the parks.

I'm not a fan of the really colorful and kiddie looking disney t-shirts that are so prominent right now, but I really like their more upscale things. I'm a college instructor, and at least twice a month I wear my Mickey ear tie to work. It's always fun to see the students who catch it. I've also got some nicer Epcot t-shirts that I like to wear because they are much more stylish than some of the garish designs Disney puts out on their clothing sometimes.

But I'm not afraid to talk about my love of Disney to anyone who will listen. I feel like a member of the church of walt and that I'm always trying to convert someone to see the truth. lol Most of my friends just shake their heads and think I'm weird.

I wouldn't wear things like a pin lanyard or mickey ears outside of the parks though. Some things should only be for the parks.

I hang my Mickey lights on my rv year-round when camping out. I have also made several hidden mickeys' around my home and property, I even made up some Micky and Minnie topiaries. And of course all my Disney clothes which I wear all the time.
Croc shoes make a pair of Disney crocs with Mickey heads in them. Yep! I"ve got a pair!!! :hammer:

 

[jcc0621]

Do I ever. My husband is not a fanatic like am. When I find something new or interesting I get it. My husband says he's going to have to build me a room just for Disney stuff. I keep telling him to do it - he hasn't yet I have a Disney desk set on my desk at work (tea cup paperclip holder, jc tape dispenser, monorail stapler) Someone said earlier about people not asking where you are going on vacation, they just ask when we are going....same here, everybody knows we go at least once a year.
I think the best is my 3 year old is now walking around saying "Daddy, I like Walt Disney World, when can we go again?" :lol: I am raising him right!

I wear my Disney World hoodie to work. I would wear Disney t-shirts, but they would get ruined, so I only wear them when not working. At work I usually listen to a few hours of Disney music per day in the scene shop. My co-workers have gotten used to the songs, some sing along with me now:lol: . Of course, I have my HCOE golden Mickey Ears antenna topper on my truck.

Ties. I look for the ones that look normal from a distance but as you get closed Mickey or another character pops out at you. I do education programs for the space agency, so my favorite one (and an exception to my rule) for elementary schools shows Pooh gaving wonderingly up toward a comet and the Moon (quick story: I wore this tie to the Magic Kingdom - Fairy Godmother saw it, loved it, and enchanted it with her wand! I'm over fifty and still think that's cool!). Most of my Disney is at home. A Mickey themed bathroom, a guest room furnished with Wilderness Lodge furnitute (from Mouse Surplus), and paper models of the Haunted Mansion, Sleeping Beauty Castle, Space Mountain and the Moonliner (from Disney Experience) line my shelves. My wife loves it too! Any others out there?

I have a whole collection of Disney antenna toppers, which I change frequently. All my friends tease me about it, but I love them!

 

[dragonfox98]

My goodness - yes, I show my inner Disney while I'm out and about (and at work). At work, I have Figment and Moo Shu on my desk (stuffed). I am looking for my "been ther, done that" license plate holder (can't seem to find one). I have Tink decals and the gang magnet on my cars. I have a collapsable antenna, so I'm not sure if I can get a Mickey head antenna ball or not.
DH, DD and DS and I all where our Disney gear all the time - T-shirts, hats, you name it.

I'm on the bandwagon with this one!

Totally OT, but boy would my son have loved to meet you in his younger days. He was so into the space program - he even had a Space Shuttle bedspread! I had made him an astronaut suit for Halloween one year, and he wore it every day 'til it got too tight on him. The day I made him a new one was the longest day of his life, since I had to remove all the patches from the old one and resew them on the new one. The highlight of his childhood was getting a personally signed photo of John Glenn.

I love this question!!!

I've got Chip on my desk at work; wear my Mickey sweatshirt in cooler weather and Pooh denim shirt whenever the spirit moves me; write my grocery list on a Pooh pad; leep with either classic Pooh, articulated Pooh or Figero every night; just traded "Disney on a Dime" and the vacation planning DVD with a friend for her "Walt Disney World with Kids 2006"; we just bought Peter Pan and promised my 2.5 yr old DS #1 that we'd all watch it together; read Jungle Book to DS #1 (can't wait for the DVD to go on sale in October); but I think most of all, I am showing DS #1 (and will show DS #2) how wonderful one man can dream to make so many people happy.

Have a great day!!!

I have several Mickey Golf polo shirts that I wear, so is that considered showing my inner Mickey?

I guess I'm too conservative to wear inner Mickey even in the parks.

Only at disney could you be a 45 year old guy and get away wearing a big green Goofy hat and orange Croc's with black socks.
But hey, what ever floats your boat, do it.:sohappy:

I think sandals and black socks is a European thing.
I see it all the time in our little beach town.
