My husband is a lay-preacher and likes nothing better than teaching the Sunday School children using stories from Disney. Now this is his great excuse for buying Disney toys/characters! He has a Wall-E toy, Jack Skellington and his latest purchases.....Woody and Buzz!! Just yesterday we went to our City's newly opened Disney Store (at last) in Swansea and for Mark it was like Christmas come early. In one church he was known as Mr Disney and even had a write up in the local paper.
By the way, he is 50 in November.
So what are your excuses? Do we really need an excuse? :)

No excuse here, in fact I openly asked friends at a birthday party today if they want me to pick anything up as I'll be hitting the shops anyway :D

No excuse here :D though now my daughters been born my husband uses her as an excuse. Its great except it now means the Squirt plushie he won at a Disney presentation at work is hers and not mine *pout*  :lol:. Most people I know and worked with just knew that I loved Disney and so used to buy me Disney based presents which is the best thing ever! Plus my parents give me money for my birthday to spend at DLP :D (mainly for pins xD)


I don\'t know when, I don\'t know how, but I know something is starting right now.
Watch and you\'ll see, someday I\'ll be Part of Your World.

I do not need an excuse, but it's in my genes to be a collector. I guess that is a good excuse for my always growing collection of Pins and WDCC figurines :P

Quote from: "Welshfans"In one church he was known as Mr Disney and even had a write up in the local paper.
By the way, he is 50 in November.
So what are your excuses? Do we really need an excuse? :)
1)Last year we took our new curate and husband to DLRP and she keeps threatening to use one ride photo's in the sermon
2) Loving the name, We live in a village called Castle Gresley however due to the amount of Disney merchandise around the house (just checked and the only room lacking is the downstairs toilet, now there's an excuse for a soap dispenser)  my neice and nephew tell people we live in Castle Disney.
3) Im 43 in November and my mum wonders when I'll grow up. Too late now I think.
4)Well I have an excuse for a soap dispenser for the downstairs toilet but generally dont need an excuse.

Excuses...Hmmmm.

First trip we bought small gifts for ourselves and family.

Next few we bought sets of glasses which had the four lands on them. And fridge magnets. :)

Then we discovered the wonderful world of Pin trading. :D/

Now, as well as pins we have to buy plushies. Last trip in February we came back with Rex and Louie.

So I guess our excuses are that we have to complete our pin collections asnd you always have room for more plushies

 :lol:
