Here’s a great blog from Oh My Disney. This one had me smiling and agreeing with each point.
We can basically split our lives into two parts: BBDF and ABDF (Before Becoming a Disney Fan and After Becoming a Disney Fan). For some us the “before” only lasted until we were a few weeks old, for others it lasted for twenty years. Whatever the road we took to Disney fandom, we made it here (woo-hoo) and our lives will never be the same. Here’s a few examples of what we’re talking about:
Pancakes

BBDF: Delicious pillowy breakfast foods, preferably eaten with lots of maple syrup.
ABDF: An insult unless they are Mickey shaped.
Forks
BBDF: A type of cutlery, typically with three sharp prongs used to pick up and deliver food to the mouth.
ABDF: The only object cool people (and mermaids) use to brush their hair.
Raccoons
BBDF: Pesky rodents that go through the trash and have beady eyes that appear to see into your soul.
ABDF: Super cute pets that you want to cuddle.
“Let it Go”
BBDF: A slightly passive aggressive way to tell someone to chill out.
ABDF: Your personal anthem.
Ravens
BBDF: Slightly ominous birds with black feathers and a majestic, if intimidating, wingspan.
ABDF: Jerks.
Singing in Public
BBDF: Frowned upon and socially awkward. Uncomfortable.
ABDF: An everyday occurrence because those songs just WILL NOT unstick themselves from your brain. EVER.
Weekends
BBDF: Typically a two-day reprieve from work, meant for relaxation and recuperation.
ABDF: 48 hours of PARK TIME, BABY!
Lizzie McGuire
BBDF: That show that was on Disney Channel, maybe? It was a while ago…
ABDF: Potentially the most important television program of our era.
Pets
BBDF: Trusty companions that always make you smile.
ABDF: Trusty companions that always make you smile… and that you can hold up in the air and pretend they’re baby Simba and you’re Rafiki.
Being an Adult
BBDF: The time in life to settle down and be serious about one’s future.
ABDF: The time in life to remember that we’re all kids at heart.
