Born in Anaheim CA, I basically grew up at Disneyland and have been a long time annual pass holder for years; every birthday, accomplishment and milestone was celebrated in the parks, instilling magic into the most important moments of my life. Disney to me is an escape, a place to reconnect with the feeling of being a child, in a world where everything seems possible. Now living in Arizona, Disney may be far (and closed due to COVID-19) but it continues to inspire me and my writings. I eagerly await the day when I can walk down Mainstreet and become that child once more.
