Disney from a Teen’s Perspective: Growing up Disney

Being born in Orlando, I have been very fortunate to have the ability to go to Disney anytime I want. My family normally goes almost every weekend. I definitely know how lucky I am to have this luxury. I have been going to Disney since I was 6 months old. Some say that is too young but that’s when my family thought I was ready to witness the magic for the first time.
Disney never gets old to me. It’s always brought a smile to my face. My mom said that the first time I rode Dumbo was such a magical moment. She said that my eyes lit up taking in all the sites. I may be 14, but I still have those magical moments. Disney is so breathtaking. I love being able to relive these memories through my younger brother and sister. When they do something for the first time, I get to relive a memory.
A new found hobby of mine is photography. Since I have started photography, I see all the small details in the parks. I have an eye for the details. As my mom likes to say, I stop to “smell the roses” when I’m taking pictures in the parks. My brother and sister are eager to get to a ride but, I’m always a few steps behind because I’m taking a picture. Remember to stop and take in the sites!
I recently celebrate my 14th birthday in the most magical place on earth! What better way to celebrate! I just asked for a special breakfast at O’hana and a trip to the Magic Kingdom, not a giant extravagant birthday party. If you ever ask me if Disney gets old, my answer will always be, never!
