I often nip into the supermarket on the way home to pick up some fresh salad or fruit. Normally I go through the self check-out tills nowadays. But the other day, I had rather a lot in my basket, and there was no queue and a smiling cashier was sitting there beckoning me to go through her checkout.
She asked me, “Are you collecting Disney cards?” I did not hear the question first time around, so I asked her to repeat the question. I shook my head and told her there are no children in my household. The cashier said to me, “Well, they are not just for children, adults collect them too.”
“Really? Do they?” I exclaimed.
The cashier said to me, “Surely there is an inner child in you.”
I laughed to myself, I am sure the inner child in me took over and decided to reply, “The inner child in me was never particularly impressed by Disney. She was out climbing trees and playing sports. She always thought that magic and princesses were rather boring compared to the fun she could have in real life.”
I am sure there are many children and adults who collect Disney cards – and I am sure they have lots of fun. I still prefer the fun I can have in real life though!
I am right there with you and I am about 30 minutes from Disneyland.

When my kids were teens I bought them annual passes so I didn’t go broke every time they wanted to go with friends. When my grandkids were young I went with them. Now, other than the nightly fireworks I hear, it doesn’t impact me.

Lots of adults love Disney, though I really don’t get the thrill myself. I like magic and castles and unicorn fairy tales, but in books mostly, not to collect as trinkets…

I am not against Disney, I love some of their modern Pixar animations because they are so funny. But I was always a little suspicious of the movies when I was younger – the magic princesses were not my cup of tea. But I am sure I enjoyed characters like Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy.

I am going to have to start collecting them – half I will ship over to you, the other half I think Gary is claiming, so they will be on their way to Yorkshire.

I think Disney have produced lots of fun, but even as a child I was uneasy with the magic side of some of their stories. But I did like their animal cartoons.

Maybe Disney is for peeps who don’t have gardens with trees to climb and are no good at sports.

Climbing trees and running around always top watching a screen!

I loved going to Paris Disney. Would love to go again. I was more excited meeting Mickey than Hawklad was.
