If you know me at all you know that I love Disney. I mean, come on, who doesn't?
Disney has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I'm 99.99999999% sure that I'm a Disney princess. To this day family and friends associate Disney with me, especially Ariel. (She's my favorite.) When I was little I would pretend that my rocking chair was the big rock that Ariel was on when the waves crashed on it and I would sing at the top of my lungs "PART OF YOUR WOOOOOORRRRLLLLLDDDDD!"
I even had my own Chip cup, a Dalmatian stuffed animal, and a Simba stuffed animal. Trust me I can go on and on, but I'll spare you.
I make sure that whenever Disney On Ice comes to my city that I'm there. A few years ago I took my baby brother and cousin and seeing their faces light up when the characters came out was adorable. But I'm pretty sure I was more excited than they were.
Oh, and you can't forget the snow cones!
Disney is something that never gets old. Back in the day I never really realized the deep messages that the movies portrayed. When I was little 'ole me I loved how everything was so magical, happy, full of songs and love, and how everyone lived happily ever after. (Even after the death of Mufasa, but that's besides the point.) I still do, but it strikes a different chord within me now. So many life lessons can be learned from the movies if you watch them today.
I truly believe that we all are fighting our own battles... But with trust, faith, and pixie dust we can surpass it all. Disney has a way of making me feel like I'm not alone. It gives me a sense of magic and my own happily ever after. Disney reminds me that love is magical and that someday my prince will come. (See what I did there?)I've been to Disney 3 times. I'd be lying if I said that each visit wasn't as magical as the last. Going to Disney World is something I recommend that everyone put on their bucket list. It truly is a magical experience, regardless of your age. One of my favorite parts of going to Disney is meeting the characters. I fan girl every time I meet Ariel.
I wish I could thank Walt Disney himself for coming up with his idea... It all started with a mouse.
Disney reassures me that it's okay to be myself. Here I am, a 20-something, in love with all things Disney. Do I care what you think? Nope. Disney is a part of who I am. Hakuna matata is my motto. I gladly wear my Ariel shirts and sing 'Let it Go' at the top of my lungs.
I know for a fact that my love for Disney will never ever cease. I know that one day I will be that mom who plans a vacation to Disney for her kids but in reality it'll be for me.
Like I always say, you're never too old for Disney.
P.S. I can't wait for Moana.
