The other day my ten-year-old son went into the bathroom he shares with his sister and shut the door. I presume he had to take care of some business. Moments later, his little sister, age 7, came looking for him. She noticed the closed door, knocked on it, and sang, “Do you want to build a snowman?”
And that’s when I knew. She had watched Disney’s Frozen way too many times.
But it wasn’t just her. Our whole family has watched Frozen way too many times, ever since it was released on DVD last week.
Here, from personal experience, are the 10 Signs You’ve Watched Frozen Too Many Times:
1. You knock on every closed door and sing, “Do you want to build a snowman?”
2. You wave your hands around dramatically as if ice, snowflakes, snow, sleet and other magic stuff will shoot out.
3. Your next car might be a sled with a cup holder and you are thinking about getting a reindeer as the family pet.
4. You don’t need a coat because the cold never bothered you anyway.
5. You greet everyone by saying: “Hi! I’m Olaf and I like warm hugs.”
6. Rocks are now treasured. They might morph into friendly trolls who are Love Experts.
7. When you set the table for dinner, you always sings, “Who knew we owned eight thousand salad plates?”
8. You say prayers that the Disney Store can make enough Elsa costumes so that everyone who wants one can get one.
9. At least once a day you say, “Woo hoo! Big summer blowout!”
10. You instantly dislike anyone named “Hans”.
Have you and your family watched Frozen too many times? How can you tell?
So happy to have you stop by! If you liked this Frozen post, you should read about the time I stood in line nearly 3 hours so my daughter could meet Elsa and Anna at Disneyworld. If you’re a big Disney fan, you might also enjoy the CRAZY thing that happened to us during a stay at Boardwalk Resort. I’d also love to have you follow me on Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, or Instagram!
I have boys so I thought I was safe from this, but my four year old loves Frozen. You should hear his cover of Let It Go. His favorite thing is to go around saying, “The cold never bothered me anyway,” with as much drama and big gestures as possible.

Oh, please tell me he can arch one eyebrow when he says it too! Then I can proclaim he’s nailed it.

Omg! My two year old son loves frozen also! He sings let it go all the time but also when elsa tells ana to go away he sings “okayyy byeee…” it’s so cute (and annoying, lol).
As if we needed 10 signs! Seriously, though, it has been showing on a loop here too. I know we’ve seen it too many times because every time someone enters/exits a room someone sings “Let it go!” at the top of their lungs!

I’m even wandering around the house making sweeping hand gestures and belting out “Let it go!” Thanks for your shares and pins, Justin!
Katy @ Experienced Bad Mom recently posted…10 Signs You’ve Watched Frozen Too Many Times
We’ve had so much snow here in MD this winter – highly unusual – that we walk around the house singing “Let it Snow” instead of let it go, and waving our arms dramatically. We do have an Elsa dress (thanks much to Grammy who was first in line at Disney the day they went on sale), but I wish we had an Anna. Even the older brother has seen the movie too much when he refers to himself as “a Christophe” rather than “a Hans”.
It’s just so infectious, isn’t it? I kinda love Grandma. She’s a shopping stud. You could probably sell that Elsa costume and pay for your children’s college education if you wanted right now!
Katy @ Experienced Bad Mom recently posted…10 Signs You’ve Watched Frozen Too Many Times
My husband bought it last week and it is still shrink wrapped! We just haven’t had the chance to watch it yet. I know once we open it, we’ll probably watch it all weekend. The soundtrack is on my kids’ lullaby album!

I am DYING!!! This is so funny and SO SO true!! Who couldn’t use a few trolls that are love experts? I think it just makes good sense to keep those rocks on hand. You never know!! 😀 –Lisa

I can relate to all 10 of these! I don’t even have to stand in front of a door–I sing Do You Want To Build A Snowman all.day.long. I can’t get it out of my head! Enjoyed this post–you really made me laugh!

Thanks, Carrie! We just keep singing around here, too. Today my 7yo and I can’t stop singing “For the first time in forever”.
We haven’t seen it. We’re probably the only people in the US who haven’t. How pathetic is that? Did you get my DM on Twitter, by the way?

Thanks for visiting! And for confirming that yes, indeed, we are all doing things subconsciously due to too much Frozen watching. I catch myself singing instead of speaking now. “I guess you didn’t know. Arandale’s in deep, deep, deep, deep, snow!”
None of us have seen the movie yet but my daughter has been singing the songs so much that I am not sure that I want to……
Katie, it’s gooooood. I mean, not life-changing, earth shattering good. But it’s up there with Tangled and Beauty and the Beast!
It’s not just little kids watching it over and over. My daughter and her sorority sisters watch Frozen every night. When she comes home, she’s constantly quoting and singing.

I have been singing “Do you want to build a snowman?” all morning! The soundtrack is absolutely amazing. I loved this movie and can relate to these problems for sure!

Thank you!! The movie is awesome, isn’t it? Disney did a great job.
So, I haven’t even seen Frozen at all and I can still understand all of these references because it’s everywhere!!

It’s totally taken over our culture, so I’m sure you’re right!
Believe it or not, I haven’t watched this yet. We have it on our Netflix list and can’t wait to see it! I do know what you mean about watching movies over and over. If it’s as good as everyone says, I can imagine that we’ll be watching it over and over.
Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you enjoy it when you see it–if you liked Beauty & the Beast or Tangled, then I think you’ll love Frozen!
This isn’t a bad idea “Your next car might be a sled with a cup holder and you are thinking about getting a reindeer as the family pet.” Winter is never going to end where I live it seems. In fact the snow is falling outside as I type this comment. Stopping by from SITS share link up.

Thanks for the visit! We are totally “Frozen” too here in Michigan. Yikes. Make it stop!!
You know its really bad when your three year old says,”Do me a favor and grab my butt.” Funny when Olaf says it, but out of context it can throw you for a loop. LOL. She knows way too many lines.
Ha ha! I bet most of the people in her crowd totally get the reference, tho!
We’ve only seen it twice, but I’m terrified we’re going to find out what “snow does in summer.” It just won’t stop snowing here in Pittsburgh. We’re singing Olaf’s “In Summer” song every day!

My son loves this movie. In fact he has always loved princess movies. Disney just seems to work harder on them! But who loves Frozen even more? My sister in law (who lives with us). I swear everytime she is alone with the remote Frozen comes on. But I’m about as bad with You’ve Got Mail. So who am I to complain?
Alicia recently posted…Confession time: I screwed up the pizza.
My son is obsessed with Frozen as well. The other day he tripped going up the stairs to bed. When I entered his room, I sang (to the very familiar tune), “How’s your toe? How’s your toe? Does it hurt you any mor-or-ore?”
Hi Katy,
I just recently discovered your blog through Blogher. Love your work, especially this fun post. How, may I ask, did you get the adorable gifs uploaded to Blogher? I recently tried to upload some gifs to one of my posts and I couldn’t get it to work. Any suggestions you might have would be great. Thanks so much! Shana

Hi Shana,
You’ll notice the gifs are only on the Blogher post, not my post on my own site. I have no idea how Blogher did it! Sorry!
Katy
I teach preschool and the first thing the kids say when they walk into the classroom in the morning is, “Can we have the Frozen songs?” During free play, the children assign roles to each other; we have Anna’s “falling down” all over the place and Elsa’s trying to fix their little sister’s frozen hearts. I knew I had been a little too immersed in the Frozen culture when I joked after nap time that, “The sun’s awake, so we’re awake!” That was a hit.
What a great story! Thanks for sharing!
I am 18 years old, youngest in my family.. and i am a frozen addict. Ive seen it at least 15 times. i have the soundtrack, i know every word to every song… Its a problem 😉
The other day it rained and i walked out in the rain with my arms outstretched and yelled “THE RAIN NEVER BOTHERED ME ANYWAY!!”
Thats what my mom has to deal with 😉
They are all funny except number 10. I have a son named Hans. We were so excited at the beginning of the movie and then I realized where it was headed and I was like “No, no, no, don’t let him be the bad guy!!!”
Aw, too funny! The whole dislike-anyone-named-Hans thing really only applies to *princes* named Hans. Or if your name is Anna. 🙂
We watched several times ourselves. Every one around us has too! On of my daughter’s classmates (in 5th grade) raised his hand and asked if she wanted to build a snowman! Let’s just say she was not very amused but they got a smile out of her when she was in a bad mood.
Yes! This is one of your funniest posts, ever!! Oh and the one about Elsa and Anna singing Christmas carols is equally hilarious!
Jen recently posted…The One Mistake Parents Make Every Summer And How To Avoid It
This is Super CUTE. We have had our share of watching Frozen, and from time to time they watch it again (and again…and again). We were pretty lucky though that they didn’t become too fascinated with it 🙂 I will say, my favorite line from that move is from Olaf “Watch out for my butt” I use that ALL THE TIME when my girls get to close to me… it has become a big joke in our house now. 🙂
Kimberly Cox recently posted…Overcoming Distractions, Well, Sort Of
“Watch out for my butt” – that’s a good one! I’m partial to “whoo hoo!” in a sing-song voice with a trace of a horrible Scandinavian accent. 🙂
Haha, I don’t need a list to know I’ve watched it too many times at this point but this is a funny one!
