Winged Star

Jeff Reitz began visiting Disneyland New Year’s Day 2012 with his girlfriend Tonya. They were both recently unemployed and had received annual passes for Christmas. At first their daily trips were a way of staying cheerful as they hunted for new jobs. Later when they both found employment, they continued their daily park visits. Eventually Tonya and Jeff parted ways. But Jeff still visits Disneyland every day for a total of more than 2,000 consecutive days. Sometimes he’s alone; sometimes with his new girlfriend Karen. They take pictures, enjoy the shows and rides, and chat with guests and cast members. “I've experienced so much of the magic of Disney,” he says. “It continues to be fun for me.” I find myself hoping someday these two will tie the knot – that one day they’ll bring their kids to meet The Mouse. Because the happiest place on earth is even happier when you share it with a child.
