Yes, that’s me happy in WDW!
There’s a lot of my story wrapped up in Disney as my happy place.
As a child, I dreamed of Disney being the happiest place on earth…and to me it was.
I did technically go as a small toddler, but I don’t remember it so it doesn’t count in my opinion - haha.
Hmmmmm (insert that adorable thinking emoji here)…does it count?
I actually think it may (sorta). I know my love for Disney started before that because I had birthdays themed to Mickey. Which of course is the best birthday theme anyone could ever have.
So maybe my love of Disney started with my parents choosing it for me - which is awesome because I’ve done the same for my kids!
I do remember my parents telling me Disney World was for me because it opened in October, 1971 and that is my birthday year and month. That’s always been very special to me. Disney World and me began at the same time. So I have to love it right? Right.
Anyways, I do stand by my not remembering the first trip really so it doesn’t count.
All my life I dreamed of going to Disney World to meet Mickey.
I ended up going around my 30th birthday without my kids and it was MAGICAL. That started what is now decades of trips with my kids. Our trips are my most treasured, precious, and cherished memories.
And now I’m going to Disney with my friends and family too. I cannot express the fun and happiness it brings my heart to be there with people I love. Literally JOY.
Interesting side note:
Happy in WDW was actually my first blog!
I started it in 2013 (blog stone age period ha ha). Honestly, I didn’t love it…
You may be wondering why, since I love this blog so much (or maybe you aren’t wondering)(insert sad face here).
There were a few factors of why it just didn’t seem to fit at that time.
First, I lived in Ohio. And for me, I just couldn’t be in WDW enough to make that work.
Funny enough it was also the writing I didn’t like (or to say another way - I hated it). Which if you are a long time reader then you already get this. For anyone new, writing is the LAST thing I would have ever chose for myself. Read Entry One - Failure - God’s will for me and it’ll all make perfect sense.
So here we are now.
As you know I like to write in the now.
Now - God has called me to write. I love writing and would choose it above anything else I do.
Now - I live in Florida! Which was always my dream and I can go to Disney World just about anytime!
Now - I love this blog, not just the writing part. I love the creative part of all the graphics/design/marketing elements too. Fun!
Now - I live at the beach which is my other happy place. And was also always my dream.
Now - I am so blessed (and always have been by God).
Praise you God for making my dreams come true.
