TREACHEROUS

January 6, 2019.Reading time 3 minutes.

I don’t know how your 2018 went, but mine was a literal rollercoaster. I made some of my literal all time favorite memories (hey Disneyland, hey DCP) and I also experienced some gut-wrenching lows which I have not been shy of talking about on here. But despite the downward slopes of 2018, I’m feeling so […]

Costumes

November 26, 2018.Reading time 4 minutes.

As of yesterday, I officially have worn every merchandise costume in the Magic Kingdom. I didn’t intend on completing this little challenge until I realized I only had two more left to complete the set. So, in order of my favorites to least favorite, here are a series of low quality selfies that document my […]

Part of Your World

October 24, 2018.Reading time 5 minutes.

Comparison is the thief of joy and mermaid tails. Ever find yourself swimming through an ocean of opportunities you never took or wish you had? Same. Do you have a collection of roles you wish you could partake in but find yourself stuck in the same old grotto? I’ve got twenty. But who cares? Nbd. […]

Disneyland

October 16, 2018.Reading time 5 minutes.

I have become so desensitized to the magic that swirls when you step onto Main Street for the first time. I still feel it, and appreciate it, but I expect it. I had forgotten the wonder of when you step onto it for the first time. When every window, every cast member, everything is new. […]

Love Is An Open Door

September 21, 2018.Reading time 7 minutes.

Love is an open door… and mine are all closed. Lately I’ve felt a lot like Princess Anna continually knocking on Elsa’s door only to be rejected time and time again. Doors aren’t opening the way I wanted them to, and they didn’t for Anna either. Yet Anna remains hopeful even when there is nothing […]

You’ve Got A Friend In Me

September 18, 2018.Reading time 3 minutes.

Friendship is a funny thing. It is the best gift and the most heartbreaking goodbye. At its height, it is pure magic. It’s no secret that I’ve had a rough adjustment after all of my incredible roommates moved out after our program ended. Losing community is the hardest challenge and loneliness is not easily overcome. […]

I Live In Fantasyland

August 26, 2018.Reading time 9 minutes.

When people think of Disney World, they think of Magic Kingdom. When they think of Magic Kingdom, they think of Fantasyland. Every thing else is just a bonus. Fantasyland has always been my favorite land in the tragic kingdom. If there was ever a place that magic actually existed, it would be there. In the […]

REPUTATION

August 20, 2018.Reading time 5 minutes.

This past week, the queen herself rose from the death of her reputation to slay us all with her power and talent. I have always been a fan TSwift, and I know that is a delicate subject. But there really hasn’t been a time when I couldn’t relate to one of Taylor’s songs. She beautifully […]

Fairy Godmothers

August 10, 2018.Reading time 4 minutes.

Bibbidi Boppidi Boo! There is no way on this Earth I could possibly count how many times I’ve wished I could use those magical three words to solve all my problems, or even better have someone else do it for me! But just because a precious old women in a fabulous, sparkling blue cloak doesn’t […]

The Bungalow

August 8, 2018.Reading time 5 minutes.

Yesterday marked one year of working with Disney and as I scroll through my pictures for the 10,000th time, I am overwhelmed by how thankful I am for the past year I had. There is so much goodness in this place. It fills every inch of your soul if you let it, and I just […]
