Doug Ingersoll and the Legacy of Aunt Dorothy

by John M. (NDD#172) | Published: Friday, November 18, 2011

Doug Ingersoll never visits the Magic Kingdom without spending some time in the Enchanted Tiki Room. There, he feels the presence of his long-departed Aunt Dorothy.

Originally from Indiana, Ingersoll spent much of his youth living and attending school around the world. His father’s work abroad forced Ingersoll to live away from his hometown, his friends and his extended family throughout most of the year. Returning to the Unites States to visit family each summer, he would stop first in Tampa to spend some time with Aunt Dorothy, his “spiritual grandmother.” During each annual visit, Aunt Dorothy would take Ingersoll to Disney World.

Neurotic Disney Person of the Month

by JL Knopp (NDM#1) | @jlknopp1 | Published: Monday, July 25, 2011

Copyright: Maria Hannon

Here’s a story of a lovely lady who was bringing up three very lovely girls (and one boy). All of them had spunk, like their mother, and went to Disney World. Here’s the story, of a man named Hannon who was busy with two kids of his own. They were three NDPs, living all together, but had they only known…

Imagine visiting the Magic Kingdom for the first time as a kindergartener. Imagine being fascinated by a topiary in the shape of an elephant. Imagine being nervous during a submarine voyage, being whisked in the air on a “Skyway,” or observing life-sized costume characters water ski while you passed by on a ferry boat. Our NDPs of the month didn’t imagine these moments; they lived them. They also didn’t imagine that all of that would one day play a critical part in them finding their future soulmate, but it did. Meet the Neurotic Disney People for this month, Brent and Maria Hannon (NDD#146 and NDM#130).

PASSING THE TORCH

by John M. (NDD#172) | Published: Wednesday, April 20, 2011

Photo Credit: Dennis Brown, NDU 5

In the typical parent-child relationship, there comes a time when the child becomes better at something than the parent. It is as inevitable as night following day. Some parents consider this moment a sign of their imminent uselessness. To me, it’s a sign I taught my children well.

Recently, I had to face the fact that my daughters’ Disney knowledge now far exceeds my own. It did not happen overnight. They’ve been taunting me about it for years. Every time they read one of my Disney-related articles, their comments–good or bad–are accompanied by the observation that they should be writing about Disney. Whether they mean instead of or in addition to me is not clear, but I have my suspicions.

In this video by John Donahue of WDWParkhoppers.com, the Disney Royal Family 5K is showcased. At around the two minute mark, inner mouse gets a shout out because our very own bloggers, Shalon (NDI 167) and Betsy (NDI 152), wore their inner mouse shirts for the race! We love when NDPs show their dedication with inner mouse shirts, especially at Disney events. Awesome!

Ever seen the stick horse race at Whispering Canyon Cafe? Ever ran in it? In this video, Cory Holland (NDH 8 ) and Brett Young (NDU 2) do, against quite a few kids! Then again, Walt Disney World is all about acting like a kid, even if you are a little taller or a little older!

In this adorable video, Sandy Chang’s (NDM 223) youngest children, Violet (age 2) and Carter (age 5) reenact a scene as Hannah and Sid from Toy Story. As Sandy says, “We love all things Disney, and my kids incorporate Disney into their play on most days.” These kids are definitely living the Disney Driven Life!

As I said in last week’s NDPs in Action, when NDPs can’t seem to find a hidden Mickey, they make one themselves. In this photo, Bryan B (NDD 191) is grilling up some fun, and he found a way to channel his Disney Driven Life through his food! Luckily he snapped a photo before he cooked and ate it!

NEUROTIC DISNEY PERSON OF THE MONTH

by JL Knopp (NDM#1) | @jlknopp1 | Published: Saturday, March 12, 2011

Some people have all the luck. Others just don’t. For whatever reason, some people are given a bad hand when they start out in life. And, yet, as we all know it isn’t really about what we are dealt in life; it is about how we play the game. The NDP of this month is one who took her “unsuited” cards and turned them in to a “full house” that lead to a Disney Driven Life. Meet Lynn W. (NDM #371).

Lynn grew up under circumstances that would cause many people to wilt and become bitter. Hers is the type of pain that more than once has destroyed the life it was inflicted upon. In spite of her difficult situation, though, Lynn strove to find a better path that led her to promise and happiness. She found it in her husband, Dan, and when the two became parents to Corbin six years ago, she knew Disney must play a role in their family unit at some point.

Who needs snowmen when you can have snowmice? In this photo, Steven B (NDI 80) created what he calls a “Not SNOW Hidden Mickey” in Atlanta. Looks like NDPs can find Mickeys everywhere, and if they can’t, they make their own!

INNER MOUSE MEET VIDEO FOOTAGE-ANIMAL KINGDOM FLAME TREE BBQ

by JL Knopp (NDM#1) | @jlknopp1 | Published: Monday, March 7, 2011

The inner mouse meet in Animal Kingdom was a great success. We estimated about 40 people showed up throughout the meet with visits from great personalities like Lou and Deanna Mongello, Matt Hochberg, Tony Caselnova, Steve and Vicki Barrett, and Jackie Gailey. A whole host of DDL bloggers were in our company, so this is your chance to meet some of your very own Neurotic Disney Community. Bear with the choppy video and join us in the inner box for rounds of Moxie shots and lots of interactive fun.
