So there will be seven of us going to Diznee Wurld in December, marking our second pilgrimage. A lot of people question our faith to the mouse kingdom. It’s a good question and I hope to figure it out someday. There’s a fine line between fandom and obsession, however, and what I always say to people is that if you think I’m obsessed with Disney, I’d like for you to meet some people on the internet. Within the last year I’ve discovered the Disney online community, and man, let me tell you, are they from the internet.
So this year we’re trying something new. Last year on the last night we all wore Santa hats to pledge our solidarity with each other, Disney, German biergartens, consumerism, and looking weird. I must say that despite my best efforts at maintaining a cool, indy edge about the whole thing, I was just embarrassed (but later rallied). Solidarity this year will come in the form of a group t-shirt. This is a difficult thing to accomplish. We have high comedic standards but low creative juice. My dad’s very snarky, and occasionally I will be too, and my sister just sent out some great potential graphics for the shirt. Here’s to making neon orange family vacation Walt Disney World t-shirts with style.
