Anyone get any weird comments about their love of Disney?

I keep getting some strange comments in the office.

I love anything Disney and my wardrobe reflects this. I wear Mickey Mouse (and other Disney) t-shirts, I have several Disney hoodies. I have vinylmations on my desk, photos of the family with Mickey, picture frames with Winnie the Pooh on them.

I also wear non-Disney things, mainly geeky Doctor Who, Back to the Future, Big Bang Theory things.

One of the guys I work with keeps saying I'm the only bloke he has ever known who is like this/likes Mickey Mouse/will wear a Mickey Mouse t-shirt. A couple of other colleagues have agreed with him.

Apparently its OK to like Disney films, it's OK to say you like them, it's even ok to have a mug but wearing a t-shirt is crossing the line?

I'm not going to change one bit, I was just interested in hearing if anyone else gets any flak from work colleagues/family about Disney?

Yes I do, people seem to think because I'm 36 and don't have kids I shouldn't be into Disney or go to Disney World! We came back from our fourth trip three weeks ago and I brought a WDW 2013 hoodie, when I wore it round my parents, my Dad was like "what are you wearing?!" oh well I don't care, I love it there!

I honestly couldn't give a ≈≈≈≈ake mushroom if people feel they have to be negative about something I enjoy. I enjoy Disney and go to Disney resorts for ME, and MY enjoyment. Not theirs.

Those who like to have a go at us Disney resort fans are the type who usually like to just go to bits of Spain where it's all English people, English food etc, and spend the day sitting around a swimming pool for 8 hours, then getting drunk of an evening in an English themed pub.

I know which I'd choose!

What annoys me the most are comments about why we keep going back to the same place... from people who themselves keep going back to the same place. I don't question them... why do they question me?
