One of my guilty pleasures...
If you don't already know, I'm a disney fanatic. No, it's not borderline addiction it's just something I've always really loved. I can't really pin point when I actually fell in love with everything disney but I can tell you right now, anything disney will ALWAYS make me happy. When I was younger, I recall trips to the wonderful land just right here in Anaheim. The wonderful pictures my dad incessantly took at the time reminded me of why I wasn't so into the characters. I swear to you, MICKEY PULLED MY HAIR!!! haha but even then, my love for disney was slowly building. Every morning before school my mom would let me watch Channel 9 and look who was on...it was either disney cartoons or RESCUE RANGERS!!! My first video was the Little Mermaid. I begged and begged my dad for my 8th birthday to get it for me. We were at Costco and he finally gave in. Even now, the thought of going to disneyland, california adventure, or taking a trip to wdw gets me going. Let's be honest, it keeps me optimistic about the days to come. I absolutely adore Toy Story Mania and thrive to do better. Yes, I'm too competitive but I LOVE IT! =) I know I drove Ant crazy the first year and a half we were together. We were at Disney so much you could swear we had an annual pass. By the way, we didn't =) Yeah, that's hardcore haha Last year Ant asked me what did I want to do for our second anniversary. I was thinking of hawaii again, just a different island ooooorrr was wdw a possibility? I'm blessed that Ant doesn't crush my dreams even when I shoot him down from time to time. The trip was costly but do-able. I had not flown to the east coast since i was 8...but Virgin America made the trip quite bearable. =) Oh from the moment of arrival, it was DISNEY MAGIC ALL THE WAY. I loved the Magic Express. I loved checking into our hotel and finding that Mickey and Minnie left us a kind anniversary message. Food was non stop and I loved it all. From boat rides to downtown disney...from friendly smiles greeting us happy anniversary...can't forget the proposal at our Hoop De Doo Revue Dinner/show. I know all those who have been to wdw and those who work there swear that wdw is wayyyy better than disneyland but I still love disneyland more. It's the OG! And there is so much to do at wdw but even then, disneyland still has my heart. I'm not saying that I wouldn't love to go back to wdw but the trip really made me realize that there is so much here at home...I never really have to travel far if I wanted to enjoy myself. The goal, somewhere down the line, is to get my own annual pass. The price alone makes me freak out but still, someday, I want one. My body and mind is craving an escape. SOooooOOOoO I've been reading up my disney sites just to keep the dream alive. Sheena, there is always a place to escape, even if it is for a moment. =) Carsland opened today and so did buena vista street...california adventure is sooooo the Hollywood studios equivalent. BUUuuuUT, WE HAVE CARS LAND!!! I can't wait...I have something to look forward to. Work has been tiring as hell. Physically, I'm spent. With that, mentally I got worn down. Couponing to Disney, oh, you make me dream of being able to save like that. I have to work on my discipline. It's been so lacking lol
