Magical Disney

I feel like it's very easy to criticize companies like Disney. I mean, we always seem to resent the winners, and the bottom line is, Disney is a winner. They're good at what they do, and not many companies can even hope to compare. I've decided since i've spent a lot of my time on this forum dissing Disney, I would share a few of the things I love about Disney.

1. The Lion King

THE best, most influential movie of my childhood. I remember when my mom bought a new car and it had a tv in the back. Game changer. And it didn't matter how long the car ride was going to be. We could be driving to the supermarket and we would throw a movie in and watch as much as we possibly could. The movie of choice: The Lion King. I think by the time I was 12 I could quote the entire movie. I'm not sure what we found so enticing... Maybe the soundtrack, or the characters (baby Lions are SO FREAKING CUTE). I mean just look at them.

2. Disney World

I don't care what anyone says, this place is MAGICAL. I remember visiting for the first time when I was 6 with my grandparents and older cousin, and I have distinct memories of this trip. It's kinda crazy when you think about it... I mean, that's 13 years ago, and it was the best vacation i've ever been on. I still have the autograph booklet where I got Mickey Mouse, Goofy, and Minnie's signature. It sounds silly now, but I treasured that booklet. I think my mom still has it. They really do put their customers first, and happiness is at the forefront of their mission statement. Plus, have you seen the fireworks?! That alone is enough for me. 

3. The beginning

A couple months ago I watched a film on Netflix called "Walt before Disney". I had never really considered a life without Disney, because it goes back to when my grandparents were children, which is hard for me to wrap my head around, but nonetheless, the movie was really good. It brought the tough beginnings of Disney into a new light for me. It gave me a newfound respect for Walt Disney, and the people who worked out of a 1 room office for years without getting paid. It was a beautiful, inspirational story, and if you have the chance I recommend you going to check it out next time you have a couple hours to watch. 

So, there it is. 3 things I thoroughly love, respect, and enjoy about Disney. 

I hope you enjoy.
