Disney Memories

           My most beloved Disney treasure would most definitely have to be a treasured memory.  When I was in high school I went on a big vacation with my family to Disney World.  I was a standard teenager who decided I would not enjoy the trip, so I took it for granted.  When I was older I was privileged enough to go back to Disney World with the man who would become my husband, and his family.  In the time between my teenage visit and my early 20’s visit, my attitude had evolved and so had my love of animation and all things Disney.  I had developed a deep love of animation; I even wanted to become an animator some day.  I had learned a lot about the wonderful life of Walt Disney and all the amazing things he had accomplished and set into motion through the power of imagination.  On our first day the first park we visited was EPCOT.  Upon entering the park and passing by what has become one of my favorite Disney landmarks, Spaceship Earth, we heard the sounds of music being played by the car Mickey and Friends rode around on to go to their character meeting spots.  Riding off on the bus, my eyes met with Mickey’s and as he waved I felt a pull at my heart.  Mickey Mouse was waving at me.  My eyes swelled with tears and I hung back at the rear of our group.  There I stood, 20 years old, tearing up like a 5 year old kid.  Ever since that day, since that moment, it was official.  I was hooked, I was a Disney fan. 

 See ya real soon!
