I LOVE DISNEY WORLD
Howdy all, welcome to my blog. This is my first post, and I wanted to tell you a bit about myself.
I was never what you would call a Disney child or a Disney Princess.
The first time I heard of Disney was at 11 years old. My dad took me to see Snow White and Fantasia. Both experiences were memorable. I knew of Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and some of the other characters, saw a couple of cartoons, but never more than that.
The real stepping stone was at 12. That’s when we travelled to the US, and my parents decided to take me to Disney World. At the time there were only 2 parks, Magic Kingdom and Epcot. I didn’t really know what to expect, but the minute I set foot into Magic Kingdom, well, it was like entering a world of dreams and fantasies. The aw’s and ah’s.
My love affair with Disney had began. 
Is it the characters? Is it the atmosphere in the parks (complete positivity, hope, happiness, and all over magic)? Is it the disconnect from the out side world? I don’t really know, maybe all of them combined. What matters is that the minute you set foot in the parks, you’ve entered a magical world. Even the most cynical person cannot stay indifferent.
Ever since that day, I’ve been back to Orlando several times (not an easy fete, considering I’m not a US resident). Every visit longer than the previous, every time discovering new magic. I discovered other Orlando parks too – The Universal Studios resort (wow), and Sea World. Every trip devoting more time to the planning, enjoying every second of it (almost as much as the trip itself – nah).
And when I became a mom, well… what do you think? All three of my girls were raised on Disney. That’s when I really got to know all , and I mean all of the Disney princesses, characters and movies. I could recite Frozen to you off by heart lol. So, when my eldest turned 12, and we gave her the choise: Disney World Orlando or a party, her choice was obvious.-Off to Orlando we went. Three generations. My parents (who I love dearly and who introduced me to the world of Disney), my three daughters , aged 12, 6 and 1 at the time, my husband and myself.
Being a mom experiencing Disney not only for myself, but through my daughters eyes, well, that’s amazing . To see your eldest’s face, a serious girl, not what you would typically call a Disney princess or fan, change in wonder, I mean, it was so heart warming. Seeing the amazement, the aw, the magic engulfing this serious and slightly cynical girl (at 12, yeah!!!). That in its self was worth it. But, add to that the amazement and pure love and happiness of my middle one (a real Disney princess) – priceless.
In 2013 we were back again, this time for my middle daughters 12th (same choice given, no question as to what the decision would be). This time my little one (6 at the time) joined our passion.
What’s to come?
So, it’s 2017. It’s been almost 4 years since our last visit . 🙁 But, the great news is that my youngest’s 12th is coming up, so I get to start planning our next visit (yeah). Secret be told, I’ve been planning it for the past year (we are talking about January 2019 (D;)). In effect I have a full itinerary ready. Including park days, resorts, planned restaurants and pricing (approx.) for our 21 day stay (OMG I’m so excited).
But why Never too old for Disney?
Well, I’m not too young – in my 40’s (and that’s all you’ll be getting from me on that subject 🙁 ). And the older I get the more passionate I get on the subject. Yes, you read it right. I may not be a Disney princess, but as far as I’m concerned, you’re:
NEVER TOO OLD FOR DISNEY
That’s me in a nutshell. Disney is my passion and I wish to share that with you . I will be writing about Disney World, the parks, rides, shows, restaurants. I will include recommendations (mine personally or shared items from different platforms I follow). I will also write about the Universal Studios Resort, and Sea World, as they also share a special place in my heart . Obviously, smaller than Disney, dah!!!. I will also share with you my plans, and the different platforms I used to help me plan my visits. 
That’s all for now. I hope that you will join me on my journey, and would love to hear your question, feedback and more.
See ya’ll soon,
Park Mama
