Think you might be the biggest Disney fan after watching all the films countless times? Well, this might be of interest to you.
To celebrate its 100th birthday, Disney is looking to crown one lucky person the title of the UK's biggest Disney fan.
Aside from the fancy new title coming your way, the prize will also include a money-can't-buy stay Cinderella Castle Suite at Florida’s Walt Disney World Resort, which is not usually open for the public.

Anyone in the UK who thinks they are the biggest fan can enter, though they will have to prove their mettle on social media, before a final ten will be selected and compete against each other in a series of Disney-themed challenges.
Former Strictly Come Dancing professional dancer and competition host Janette Manrara said: "As a life-long Disney fan, I’m thrilled to be part of the crowning of the UK’s biggest Disney fan.
“I’ve been to Walt Disney World Resort in Florida 43 times, the first time when I was aged one. I even managed to get my husband onboard by putting an annual Disney Parks visit in our wedding vows before we honeymooned in Disneyland Paris.
“I chose Disney as my specialist subject on Mastermind, so you could say I’m more than qualified to help guide the fans on their magical journey.”
The competition will open on 13 February, where people aged 18 and over should upload a 30-60 second video from a public Instagram account, tagging @DisneyParksUK and using the hashtag #UKsBiggestDisneyFan.
In this video, supposed Disney superfans should explain why they should compete for the crown.
Fans can also head to Walt Disney World, Disneyland Paris or Disney Cruise Line UK Facebook pages, and upload their entry in the comments of the competition post.
A Disney committee will then decide on a final ten who will take part in the ‘ultimate Disney holiday.'
Some of the challenges involve trips to Disneyland Paris, Walt Disney World Resort in Florida, and sailing aboard a Disney Cruise Line ship.
The winner of the UK's biggest Disney fan will be crowned in front of Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World Resort in Florida.
Angelica Costantini, from Disney, said: “This is a hugely exciting way for us to come together and share our stories and memories during our 100th Anniversary year.
“We are inspired by the fans and families who have brought us into their hearts over the last 100 years and we wanted to choose a prize that reflected that.
“The 10 short-listed fans and their families are destined to have a truly magical time experiencing Disneyland Paris, Walt Disney World Resort in Florida and Disney Cruise Line, all whilst competing for the title UK’s Biggest Disney Fan.”
