DISNEY FREAK!!!!
Did I grow up with Disney? My life has been consumed by Disney. I grew up not only watching the movies and television shows but also going to Disney World or Land at least once a year. This means that I have been 20 times and I am only 19 years old. As you can see I have been surrounded by the Disney culture all of my life. In fact for another example my first gift when I was born was a Minnie pillow and a Minnie stuffed animal. Not to mention I still have them, you may think of me as a little child but I am okay with that.
I was always known as the Disney freak because I would watch all the movies, wear all the clothes, and I just knew everything about Disney. My parents were very into Disney as well, which is where I got it from, they even when to Disney for their honeymoon. I completely think that this Disney craze affected my life and who I am today. Since I was so immersed into the culture I was part of my life, which is why as I grow older it still is a part of my life. Even when I grow up and have children I will want them to be brought up in the culture of Disney because it is a simple and fun way of life.
Disney reminds you that everyone not matter how old can be a kid. Whenever I go there I feel like I have no cares in the world and just be a kid. The movies that I watch are all about princesses and working together for a common goal. I feel as a child these messages are innocent every girl deserves to be a princess and every guy deserves to be a prince. Team building and working together shows children that working together will help you reach your goal. Yes, I know the media can portray Disney as giving subliminal messages and having stereotypes being prevalent in their movies. Yet, I still find the Disney moves as refreshing and a simply, fantasy world that I would love to live in.
Disney has been connected to so many things each item builds off of another. The movies and theme parks inspired clothing and games, which spun off television shows. Everything is interconnected because it has become a power house and has a culture all on its own. It tells you that Dreams can Come True and that everyone deserves a happy ending. I know from my Disney experience I believe everyone has a little princess in them and Dreams do Come True!
