You're never too old to wish upon a star.

Why I Still Love Disney In My 20s

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.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
