Goodbye, Disney. I loved you.

I do not have the ability to put these last two days into actual words. I came to Disney, thinking this trip would be amazing. I was right, but I was barely skimming the top of how incredible it would turn out to be. I spent yesterday hitting All of the parks, hoping to get everything in that I could. I got help from two people I met at my hotel that were avid Disney-goers. Sarah and Ed told me to get the best out of Disney, I'd have to to through the parks as such: Animal Kingdom [ride Pandora first], view the Safari at Kilimanjaro, take a bus over to Hollywood Studios to hang out with Star Wars, jump over to Epcot [Belle is in France here], then monorail to Magic Kingdom.

I took their advice and saw all four parks in less than 12 hours, met Ariel, Peter Pan, Belle, Fairy Godmother, saw a Parade with a dozen Disney characters, and met so many awesome people along the way. I even guided a family from Spain from Epcot to Magic Kingdom, as the child was the only one who spoke English and said I looked Friendly and Knowledgeable about the parks. She was awesome and adorable.

At Magic Kingdom, I stood in line for the Seven Dwarfs mine ride with a family from Akron, Ohio! How amazing was that? They live so close to me! The daughter had just turned 16 and was gifted Disney. She asked me where my parents were, bless her, and I had to admit my age 😱

I had to see Ariel again today. She was wonderful and called me a mermaid. Ariel and Peter Pan have been my favorite characters, though Fairy Godmother was a close third. Belle was awesome, too.

I am incredibly thankful for these two days and this experience. At the top of My bucket list, Disney can now be checked off :)

Anyways, less words, more pictures:
