Disneyphilia

All the other shoppers were mousepeople, too, each one a nightmarish assemblage of disparate organs, the hideous creation of some demented vivisectionist, some latter-day Dr. Moreau with Disneyphilia and a sharp scalpel.

Arlene and Irwin Isaacs, psychotherapists from Fort Lauderdale, gush with Disneyphilia. “We believe that Walt Disney was a visionary person who had certain spiritual revelations of how the world should be, and we’d love to live in the middle of it.”

Brazil: Disneyphilia is so rampant that the Magic Kingdom issued etiquette kits to Orlando-bound Brazilians.

Among them were folks who made a point of not identifying as Disneyphiles, and who vocally berated those who were infantilized as “Disney nuts” or mindwashed “Disnoids.” Predictably, it was among the most highly educated and professional residents that the scorn for Disneyphilia was most pronounced.

Finally, it would be no fun working on a book like this if I couldn’t share my Disneyphilia with my wife, Alice, and daughter, Jessie.

Different selections from Dress Shop, created by Disney Parks Merchandise, match the level of Disneyphilia of the customers.
