Life Before Becoming a Disney Fan vs. Life After

January 14, 2015

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

Mickey pancake1

The Genie Transportation Services

BBDF: Delicious pillowy breakfast foods, preferably eaten with lots of maple syrup.
ABDF: An insult unless they are Mickey shaped.

Forks

Ariel uses a fork as a comb

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

Meeko eats cookies

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

How to have the perfect comeback maleficent

BBDF: Slightly ominous birds with black feathers and a majestic, if intimidating, wingspan.
ABDF: Jerks.

Singing in Public

Disney redheads giselle enchanted 2

BBDF: Frowned upon and socially awkward. Uncomfortable.
ABDF: An everyday occurrence because those songs just WILL NOT unstick themselves from your brain. EVER.

Weekends

Fantasyland teacups disneyland

BBDF: Typically a two-day reprieve from work, meant for relaxation and recuperation.
ABDF: 48 hours of PARK TIME, BABY!

Lizzie McGuire

Animated lizzie 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

Rafiki simba e1421115728835

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

Quiz can you match the quote to the disney movie peter pan 8

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.

What are some things that are different in your life now that you’re a Disney fan? Tell us in the comments!
