Disney Geeks

As we were talking about fandom in class I thought about Disney. Disney has been a huge part of everyone’s childhood, and some people even go a step further and continue loving this fantasy world. A year ago is when I heard about D23 it is a Disney membership. This membership is either silver or gold and you have to renew it each year for a high fee. They get an exclusive magazine, discounts, exclusive merchandise, and special events for Disney news. They even have a huge expo in Anaheim, CA to celebrate the fan-demonium. It is open for children, families, and adults. The ultimate Disney fan’s dream of knowing everything there is about Disney without working for them! The fascination from hand-drawn animation to Pixar to amusement parks has been around for 25 years and will continue for a very long time. The movies, television shows, Broadway shows, books, etc. give people the nostalgia of such a beautiful world, where dreams come true. There is always a warm, positive, uplifting mind-set that everyone loves to feel when they experience Disney pandemonium. People feel like Disney is a part of their life. It’s a fairytale world just like star-wars conventions, only with Disney characters!
