My First time!
🕑 Added 2023-04-04 00:10:53 +0000 UTCAs most of you know, I like to come up with a silly theme every April as an homage to April fools. This year I wanted to do something really cringy so I decided to do a sexy Mickey Mouse photo shoot. At first I thought that would be enough for the month but as I kept thinking, I realized it might be interesting (for some of you out there) if I shared some of my Disney experiences. It’s genuinely not something I talk about a lot, but it is something that I post about a lot, so hey… why not.
Being in love with Disney is some thing that’s fairly new to me. Obviously, I enjoyed Disney as a kid growing up in the 90s because we had the incredible Disney Renaissance which featured movies like the little mermaid, beauty and the beast, lion King, Aladdin, and Hercules. Outside of that though, I really wasn’t that into Disney when I first went to Disneyland in 2017. I had never seen a majority of the movies most people had (Cinderella, sleeping beauty, Snow White, Peter Pan, Alice in Wonderland… The list literally goes on) Hell, there were even some renaissance films I hadn’t seen like Pocahontas, the hunchback of Notre Dame, Mulan, or Tarzan.
Not having seen a majority of Disney movies or Pixar movies. I wasn’t particularly excited to go to Disneyland for the first time. Going to Disney just felt like it was some thing I ‘should probably do while I am in California’. Luckily for me the person who took me there was a fanatic so they were able to tell me everything about everything.
I’m not trying to be hyperbolic or anything, but it was genuinely one of the best times I’ve ever had in my entire life, and I had no idea why. None of the characters really meant anything to me and none of the rides were particularly interesting, but there was something about Disneyland that truly was magical. I’ve had so many incredible experiences at this point with some many great people, but unfortunately, it’s starting to become clear that the magic is quickly leaving. Maybe I’ll do a different post talking about that because I could go on for hours and hours, but all of this to say, I had gone from a Disney sceptic to a full on Disney lunatic.
All the pictures I have posted here are from my very first trip to Disneyland. It’s weird to look back at these and think this is the first time I ever saw the castle or got to meet Mickey Mouse.
I truly am a child trapped in a somewhat adults body.

Adult enough for all practical purposes... ;-)

I’m just surprised you’re wearing some color?! 🤨

Great story. Insightful. Thanks for sharing. You are adorable in these photos
It’s funny…when you ran through the list of movies you have seen and not seen, my list matches yours pretty well. I would agree that some of the magic is gone, but I think that’s a whole earth problem and not just Disney. I suspect we will see some of the magic return in the coming months/years. I’m planning to go to Orlando in May. Can’t wait to try out Tron and Guardians. Probably go by myself because I prefer that to going with someone who is not as enthusiastic (fanatical) as I am. Happy travels!
As a proud Disney “Adult” I’ll tell you: come visit Disney World and take a voyage on the Galactic Starcruiser. It’s one of the most amazing things they offer. I’m cried when I left the first time, it was that heavy and emotional of an experience. The food, the set, the cast members and the theming…it’s worth every penny.

Sexy fun times

Not everybody is a Disney fanatic. I like going to the parks but I wouldn't say that I'm a tremendously huge fan of all the classic Disney characters. 🤷

I agree for the most part I enjoy Disney movies and some shows but when I went to Disneyland last summer there was a feel of magic in the air

The magic is leaving? Is everything OK?
