Reiger said he's unloading it all - the Disney props, the Mickey Mouse light fixtures, a 15-foot Nautilus submarine - so that he can move to Miami to be with his new love.
"I'm starting a new life," he gushed.
Reiger, 56, has been goofy about Disney for 40 years. He says he's made hundreds of trips to the Happiest Place on Earth, strutting down Main Street in tank top and shorts and getting more attention from his tattoos than Snow White.
But Reiger wasn't happy at all. Although he claimed in TV and newspaper stories that he had had six wives - and lost them all because Disney always came first - he now says that he lied and that he was as lonely as Quasimodo and got tattooed because he craved attention.
Last September, he found his Esmeralda.
Reiger was seated in a big auditorium at a Disney convention in California when a woman named Kathleen sat down next to him. In no time, he could almost see little red cartoon hearts fluttering over his head.
Not surprisingly, he described the 48-year-old woman (he won't give any more details, saying she wants to remain private) as "animated."
"She makes me feel like a kid," he said Thursday, just minutes from boarding a Disney cruise ship in Cape Canaveral, Fla., with her by his side. "I'm totally in love."
In January he plans to move to Miami, where she lives, and he'll marry her "whenever she says yes."
"I found a new life; I want to start fresh," said Reiger, who is also a magician and is selling his trove of magic tricks next week.
Though Kathleen doesn't mind the tattoos, Reiger said, he wants to be able to wear short sleeves without people stopping and staring.
"I don't want to see them anymore," he said.
In fact, on his last trip to Disney he covered up in a long-sleeve shirt and pants. "I've never done that before," he said.
