4. The Disney-Obsessed
Distinguishing Characteristics: Complete character costumes or head-to-toe Disney attire topped with wigs, jewelry, and elaborate makeup
Favorite Saying: “Did you know?”
Most Common Activities: Tripping blithely through the parks, singing Disney songs, and prattling off Disney trivia
The Disney-Obsessed is another harmless creature who really only stands out thanks to outrageous outfits. If you’re dressed like Minnie Mouse complete with a tail, it’s not exactly a secret that your love for Walt’s creation may go a bit beyond the average guest’s interest. While other guests may argue about their labels, the Disney-Obsessed isn’t afraid to own it. They are, after all, some of the only visitors to appreciate every last hidden Mickey and Imagineer detail in all its fascinating glory.
5. The Harried Parent
Distinguishing Characteristics: Stained clothing and a frantic expression
Favorite Saying: “Stay right here.”
Most Common Activities: Corralling children and dealing with disasters
No one knows about the “hurry up and wait” routine of a Disney vacation better than the Harried Parent. These guests typically have very small children and are trapped between the desire to provide a magical, wondrous, unforgettable vacation, and the need to keep everyone fed, clean, and safely paired up with someone else in the party. While it’s easy to look on and wonder why these guests can’t keep the baby quiet and toddler in line, it’s best to keep these thoughts to yourself. No one is happier to have an excuse to vent a little steam than a Harried Parent who spent the last ten minutes sopping up what was hopefully just apple juice from a stroller seat.
While not every guest falls into a certain category, some of these predictable individuals are sure to be lurking around the parks in varying degrees nearly every day.

Hahah yep! Love this!
Guilty! My wife and I Have a bit of 3 and 4 in us... but just to the helpfulness and happiness degree. "Looking for the closest bathroom?" we have you covered. Need to know how to get to wherever... We are happy to help. A Disney themed shirt must be worn when I'm in the parks! My wife must have her designer ears on for Food and Wine Fest. :-) We also have a touch of #2... lanyards have given way to books... and we enjoy talking to full blown 2's but we keep our collecting private. At checkout... We are the type who leave a pine cone mickey at the foot of the steps of our Fort Wilderness Cabin for the next guests to find. Spread the Magic!
sorry for the double post. and it was a touch of 1 "pin collectors" not 2.

I'm an annual pass holder. I think I might resemble that discription a little. But I don't feel entitled. I actually feel a little humbled that as a Florida resident I can enjoy the parks in an unhurried visit whenever I wish (almost) and it's far cheaper than buying tickets for a week. Are you saying I should stop telling park visitors tips about food and attractions?
