My childhood was full of spontaneous Disney trips. I was going to Disney at least three times a year, and it seemed that every trip was something different. As I got older, the trips became less frequent. Now, my boyfriend and I have treated each to Disney Annual Passes as Christmas presents to each other. We've been twice since we bought the tickets, and already have two more trips planned out.

But as much as I love Disney, and believe me, I really do, I've always wondered a couple things about the parks and the movies. I mean, it's the happiest place on Earth, and all of the movies end in a happily ever after sort of manner, but there are just a few things that I just don't quite understand.

If Cinderella's glass slipper was made just for her, and fit so well, how come it fell off when she ran from the ball?

Didn't the fairy godmother size her foot just right? And how was it that the glass slippers didn't break at all? Sure, it was "magic" glass, but jeez, that's gotta be uncomfortable to walk on. Talk about stepping on broken glass, am I right?

If Goofy is a dog, and Pluto is a dog, why does Mickey keep Pluto as a pet?

Why does everyone seem to ignore the fact that Goofy and Pluto are both dogs? Is there something wrong with Pluto, that he didn't grow normally like everyone else, so Mickey pitied him and kept him as a pet?

How could Snow White and the Prince know it was "true love" even though they only saw each other for that one song?

They first meet when Snow White is singing her song while at the castle, and it seems like it's "true love" although the Prince skedaddles after the song is over. It's kind of hard to believe that that sealed the deal for them.

Why does every prince kiss a sleeping princess?

Is that an unwritten rule? "If you stumbled upon a sleeping princess, only a kiss shall awaken her." Yeah, to me that actually just seems a little creepy. Snow White is dead, in a case, and her Prince comes and kisses her cold, dead lips. Dude- that's necrophilia. Then Prince Phillip does the same to the comatose Aurora as if that still isn't creepy. So I guess that's the norm in the fairytale world- kissing dead princesses.

Does the Magic Kingdom have missiles?

Disney has a No Fly Zone over all of the parks, meaning that no one can fly over the parks, not a drone or a passing helicopter. But in the case of an air strike attack, could the Magic Kingdom defend itself with its own missiles? If they have an insane amount of fireworks, who's to say they don't have a special defense missile named "Phantasmic" or "Jiminy Cricket" tucked away in the arsenal of fireworks? Either way, I have a feeling that Disney World has its own form of self-defense.

Could Disney World be the model for a utopian society?

With its own police force and distinct gestures and mannerisms, Disney has a few ways of becoming its own little town. Almost everything in Lake Buena Vista and Orlando itself has a Disney stamp on it, as the giant corporation has claimed a city, a basketball team, and it's own brand. There are many unspoken rules in Disney, like how you're not allowed to spit gum on the ground or sell chewing gum, folks don't wear offensive or too revealing clothing, and people don't normally cause a scene. I've never once heard of a brawl break out in Disney, and if there ever was one, it was taken care of quickly and quietly. So, is it possible that Disney could be the ideal utopian society? Joy, happiness, and utter contentment are encouraged throughout the entire park, and the "cast members" do everything in their power to keep you smiling. So, can we, as a society, someday be as happy and magical as Disney itself?
