After watching vlogs from Carrie Fletcher and her time at Disneyworld, plus Louise Pentland sharing the most gorgeous snaps from her park holiday, I seem to have Disney on my mind a lot lately. I caught the magic bug after my trip to LA last year, and I am already planning on dragging my boyfriend back there in 2018 (sorry Steve, it has to happen.)
I've been wanting to write a Disney post for a while and the other day I got thinking about my favorite things about this genre. And also about what parts of the universe that I would love to be real for us. Just for a bit of fun, let's work our way through some of my favorite Disney movies and imagine what it would be like if we had a little more magic in the world.
Animal Side-Kicks
I'm starting with the best one here. It's always been my favorite part of the movies: Pascal, Pluto, Sven, Maximus, Sebastian, and my personal favorite, Meeko (the adorable and ever-hungry raccoon from Pocahontus.) How cool would it be to have a cute companion to cheer you up and be your partner in crime?
Castles
People really don't build enough castles these days. In the world of Disney there seems to be a castle in every region, and I feel like it needs to be a thing. If they all come with a firework display as well, life would be so much more magical!
Fairy God-Mothers
I don't have any god-parents, or much by way of grand parents either, so to have a lovely lady with a magic wand be there when I need her sounds lovely! And not just for me, because I know out there are plenty of children who desperately need a fairy god-mother with them. It might made the world a happier place.
Balls
I'm talking grand castles, guys in tuxedos, girls twirling in dresses fit for a princess, and (hopefully) and incredible feast table. I don't know about you guys but I have always had a secret wish to go to one of the balls like you see in Cinderella. I've never been overly-girly, but I think these dances need to make a comeback.

Neverland
Okay but imagine Peter Pan whisking you away when you were a kid to fly among stars, bounce on clouds, and fight a band of pirates. Every kid should experience that! And even though I wouldn't want to be a kid forever (and because Neverland doesn't have a good supply of chocolate) I still think this type of adventure would keep your belief in magic for a lifetime.
Mermaids
Oh, yes please! I've always had a fascination with mermaids and I'm not entirely convinced they aren't still lurking where humans haven't searched yet. If they're as lovely as Ariel, then I wish for them to be real!
The Avengers
I know it would also mean aliens would come to earth, but how cool would it be to take a trip to New York and see Spiderman flying from building to building? You might even get caught in some cross-fire and Captain America will come running in and save you. We could use some Iron Man technology to be honest. I'm so in!
Baymax
I would never need anything else in life if I had a cuddly and caring friend like this big inflatable puff. He made us feel all the feels in Big Hero 6 and I would happily have him as my companion. Not that he would fit in my car, but he would be useful when I hurt myself while running (it happens way more than it should.)
What would you love to see brought to life from the world of Disney?

You should move to Europe, you'd have castles around every street corner ;)
ReplyDeleteOMG I wish! It's my dream to travel Europe to see all the beautiful castles (plus Disneyland Paris is a must!)

I adore this post Steph!! It's a very cool idea! Yes to an animal sidekick, I would love to have my own Pegasus, I only just watched Hercules again last year but I seem to have found a fondness for him, plus I love his name. :) Balls would be so much fun! Where big Princess dresses wouldn't be out of place and you can dance all night and eat of course! :) I agree with The Avengers, on one condition, I only want Chris Evans as Captain America rescuing me! ;p
ReplyDeleteGreat post Steph! Chris actually got me Disney tickets for my birthday so I am so excited to go again! :)

So glad you liked it Kelly! OMG a Pegasus would be incredible as a sidekick. Haha I wouldn't mind a little danger if it meant I ended up in Chris Evan's arms :D That's such a lovely birthday present! Pretty please can we have some blog posts from your trip? :)

I totally agree with all of these! Who doesn't want a talking pet sidekick to go on crazy adventures with! :) Tania Michele xx
ReplyDeleteRight?! I can't decide what kind of animal I'd want as a sidekick. I like the thought of a jaguar though :)
DeleteLove this post. I pretty much wish everything from Disney was real! I'd also love to live there full time :D

Aw thank you! I'd love to live in Disney full time too. I wouldn't mind some adventures and a prince.

Ugh, my friends and I at work have been having severe Disney withdrawal and have been talking about it nonstop lately! I 100% agree with the animal sidekick. They always just seem to know exactly how you're feeling and what you need to be cheered up! And YES to the balls!! I have always wanted to go to one, too. They always just seem like the most perfect things!
ReplyDeleteI would LOVE to just be able to break into song every time I felt like it. Not that I couldn't now, but it would certainly be less frowned upon.

So glad you agree! Balls just seem so magical with the dresses and the music..
DeleteHaha I thought of including musicals! Disney just do the most perfect songs. When I See The Light came on during the fireworks show I started crying like a baby lol
