Walt is my hero
Walt is my hero. When I think of Walt, I think of him first as some sort of radical social engineer who champions the rights of children. Secondly, I think of him as the founding father of animation. When I experience the Magic Kingdom or a Disney Cruise, I can't help but wonder if Walt would have approved of current attractions or how different the company would be if he were still alive. He created an international sanctuary for children – a remarkable legacy. I do know he would not have approved of the latest generation Tiki Room.

Expecting perfection
Once you know Disney, you always expect at least perfection in other services. Because if there is a perfect place in the world, that place is Disney.

It brings out our inner child
I would like to nominate Disney. I believe Disney is a brand that transcends generations and cultures. It brings out our inner child, our happiness and innocence. In the field where Disney is placed, there is no competition that comes close to what it has achieved. Its movies send out messages on values and good behavior, on love and friendship, etc. It has some of the most memorable songs. Mickey Mouse is the main icon or symbol that describes Disney. Its amusement parks throughout the world take you to this enchanting place. I at least have gone four times in only 19 years. I would recommend Disney, it's products and theme parks, to anyone. The feelings of living your childhood past in your present, of having a similar bond with a younger one, of sharing the joy of childhood, are some of the things that Disney offer and are hardest to find in life. I believe Disney only brings happiness and has no evil, therefore I can only have love towards it and that is why I nominate it as a Lovemark.

Seen them a million times
When I was a little girl, I was enthralled with Disney movies, I could watch them repeatedly. As an adult there are very few movies that I want to see more than once, but even now I don't mind watching the old Disney Classics that I must have seen a million times already. There's something positive about these movies that just make me happy and cheer me up no matter what my mood.

He brought hope and happy thoughts
The Man was a genius! I think he touched many lives with his movies, parks, and the whole Disney family. He brought hope and happy thoughts in peoples' minds. There is no Disney Story which doesn't have a happy ending.

Where fairytales do come true
As a 21-year old former magician, people often laugh when they hear me talking about how much I would love to take another trip to DisneyWorld. But to me, DisneyWorld is not just the magical place I visited as a child - it is more than Mickey Mouse, Cinderella's castle, and Epcot. As a young adult, it still has the power to make me feel like I'm 10 years old, care-free, and in awe of Walt Disney's imagination. DisneyWorld truly is an entirely different world, where it doesn't matter who you are or where you come from, only that you too are drawn to the most magical place on earth. For me, DisneyWorld is the one place where magic still lives on, and where fairytales do come true.

A dream world where everything is possible
With its old and modern tales, Walt Disney has undoubtedly succeeded in creating a dream world where everything is possible. I personally cannot imagine any past, present or future without their presence. Maybe the most amazing thing about the heroes and their stories is how much they resemble everyday people in their everyday lives. Our actions as human beings, even our feelings can be conceived and explained through animation. These unique personalities have fascinated me since my childhood by their ability to bring pleasure and laughter in the most innocent and creative way: through imagination.

An extreme measure
I always liked Disney as a kid, but it wasn't until I did a College internship there that it became my Lovemark. For five months I lived, worked, and hung out at Disney. Those were the most amazing five months of my life. After that experience, I am a completely different person; Disney changed my life. Now that I know how this company works, I compare every other company, product, TV show, movie, etc against it: if it doesn't live up to what Disney would do, I don't like it or don't use it.

Something special
As cliché as it sounds, Disney is sheer magic. It keeps making me laugh, cry, scream and sing along. When you walk through a turnstile in a theme park or when the lights in the cinema go down I always know I'm in for something special. Disney is my retreat and my shelter. They use the simplest and most important themes like friendship, love, family, bold ideas and imagination to constantly remind us of what is and isn't worthwhile. Practicing the Disney values often turns out to be impossible, but I have nothing but respect for those who try.

The things in life that are important to me
Disney embodies my goals in life. Creativity, family, quality and respect... these are the things in life that are important to me. I have been going to Disney World and watching Disney movies for my entire life and I plan on continuing to do so. Here's hoping Disney can get back to its feet and start being a great company again.
