12 Things "Adults" Think While in Disney

Once Upon a Time, I loved Disney...

It's no joke. I LOVE Disney. I know I am not alone on that opinion but I have an unhealthy love for all things Disney. I can tell you where almost all the bathrooms are in Magic Kingdom. I can name all the princesses in order. I shamelessly enjoy taking OhMyDisney quizzes in my free time. The world of The Mouse consumes my life and I wouldn't want it any other way.

When my mom decided hosting Thanksgiving was just not the move this year, we decided to head to good 'ole Walt Disney World. 18 year old me could NOT have been more excited. It had been a couple of years since my last venture to the "Happiest Place on Earth" and I was worried that maybe my magic would be gone. My younger siblings are now 10 and 12 so princesses and characters aren't as magical for them as they had once been.

So the scariest question I had going into Disney was: Is this place still my happiest place on earth? Coming from an "adult" herself, these are a (mostly) grown-up's thoughts in Disney.

1. OMG IT'S THE WELCOME SIGN


It's fine. I am fine. We are fine. Everything is going to be fine.

2. The Magic Kingdom sign!!!!!


You need to calm the heck down. You are only getting into the parking lot.

3. Oh my goodness, look at all the different ears...

I need them all. DO YOU SEE THAT LITTLE GIRL DRESSED UP AS A PRINCESS??? Holy cuteness, it's Buzz Lightyear in that stroller.

4. Okay Monorail, then you're in.

dang this line is so long and I am so impatient.

5. WE ARE IN! WE ARE IN! WE! ARE! IN!!!

The castle is right over there. I will see the castle when I turn this corner...THERE IT IS!!!

ughh, I canNOT wait to see this tonight.

7. Alright, so where to first?

I want to see everything. I want to ride everything. I want to eat EVERYTHING.

8. Goodness I need an ice cream sandwich. NOW. Who's in the mood for ice cream?

What do you mean it's too early for ice cream? It's 10:30 AM. Also, it can never be too early.

9. How in the world does the Peter Pan ride have a 70 minute wait?

Oh, it's actually 110 minutes? 'Cause that makes more sense.

10. It's a Small World or Space Mountain?

You are too dang old for It's a Small World. Actually who are you kidding? You're never too old.

11. IS THAT CINDERELLA?!!??

OMG AND THERE GOES ALICE!! I am crying. Okay get it together. I know that they're not ~real~ characters, but they are and I love them. ARIEL I AM COMING TO YOUR GROTTO TO MEET YOU!!!

12. I was right. The castle is better at night

I don't want to leave. This place is perfect. I will never stop loving it here.

AI music threatens creativity

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
