For the Love of Disney

In a way, you can take the title of this particular post two different ways. Number one would be the literal way, our love for Disney. The other way would be to ask just how far some people go for their love of Disney.

Recently, I have watched a video and seen pictures of a home designer that really takes Disney to the extreme. He builds homes, is an animator, has "Imaginators" and a little Mouse as a mascot. All of these things really make it look like Disney. He even has a web show featuring his newest homes that resembles the classic show "Walt Disney's Disneyland" or later called "The Wonderful World of Color" TV show. Watching the half an hour video on some of the homes he is most proud of made me think of this topic. Just how far will some of us go with our love of Disney, or anything else for that matter?

I'm personally proud of my "Disney Freak" ways. Its half of my life, and it always will be. I'll always have the memories I shared with my family at Disney World when I was younger, even if as I grow older I don't travel there every year like I do now. I'll still have the Disney Classic movies to old on to, and my copies of the special DVD editions of the classic cartoons and Disney shows. My art projects I made featuring Disney will always surround me, or for as long as I can try to at least. That's what makes me a Disney Freak.

There are people out there who devote their entire lives to everything and anything Disney. Those people are not me. I'm just another Disney lover. Another 15 year old one at least. I'll always be that, another Disney lover, while others will go to the extremes. I'm sure I'll talk more about this topic as I continue my blog. Really though, this blog is not about me. And in a way, its not about Disney totally either. Its really about us, the Imagineers, the cast members, and everyone who makes Disney what it is today. I would like to thank them for that, because without their hard work, I would not be who I am today.
