For some people, the magic of Disney is a fond childhood memory. Whether they watched the movies on their VCR, visited the parks, or watched Disney Channel when it had shows such as "That's So Raven" and "Kim Possible", Disney is something to look back on as the years go by and say, “Yes, those were good memories,” proceeding to never give Disney another thought until they have their own children.
I am not one of those people.
For me, I can see Disney in almost everything I do. I go to school so that I can eventually have a well-paying job, so I can go to Disney whenever I want. I came back from a two week trip a month ago to the Walt Disney World resort in Florida, and it still wasn’t enough. It wasn’t enough time for me to see the characters that I still have never seen, despite having gone almost every year for the past 10 or so years. I still haven't been able to conquer "Tower of Terror."
One of the most common questions I get as a Disney addict is, “Don’t you ever get tired of it?” No. Absolutely not. Just… no. If you're a Disney addict like myself, you know how aggravating that question can be.
First, there isn’t just one "Disney" to visit. There are a total of seven resorts to visit, worldwide. There are two in the United States, one in Paris, two in China (with one being opened on June 17 of this year), one in Japan and one in Hawaii, not to mention the four cruise ships.
Each Disney Park and Resort has their own special events and rides that are specific to that particular location. Besides the fact that it's a great way to travel the world, where else can you eat in a rat-themed restaurant in Paris?
I am speaking, of course, about Bistro Chez Rémy located in Walt Disney Studios Park in Disneyland Paris. This is the only place out of all of the Disney Parks and Resorts that you can shrink down to the size of a rat and still enjoy an amazing dining experience with delicious French cuisine.
One of the newest crazes sweeping Disney fanatics is the concept of Disney-bounding. Disney-bounding is when you dress up as a character, but subtly. A "Snow White Disney-bound" can consist of the colors red, yellow and blue. A blue top, yellow skirt, and red bow. You are dressing up as a Disney character, without going all out and getting in trouble for dressing too accurately.
(Here I am meeting Sadness from Disney-Pixar's hit "Inside Out" as Snow White)
There truly is something magical in the way that when you step into a Disney Park, all your problems seem to disappear. When you see the castle, no matter which castle it is, there is an overwhelming sense that you are truly in a land of fantasy. It's a breathtaking experience.
