Every day Disney: becoming a Disney character on your own terms.
I am one of the biggest Disney fans I know. I grew up going to Disneyland, playing out
Disney movies and dreaming of being Princess Aurora. I even worked there drinking in
the Disney madness; I am almost certain that working there, knowing the secrets and
deepest knowledge of Disney and its past made me more of Disney freak. I admire Walt
for what he did and thank him for what he created. It is because of his empire that I wish
upon stars and believe that if I dream it I can do it. The least I can do for him is honor all
that he and his empire have created. Thus there is every day Disney. I got it in my head
one day that I have this blog and I have all these crazy idea’s running around in my
head why not put them down on paper. I love getting dressed up, my everyday casual
wear is more like what people wore back in the 1950’s. But the point is I can be very
selective when picking an outfit to wear. I look for inspiration from the 1950’s, steam
punk and old turn of the century movies.
Then one day it hit me…Disney. Not once
have I ever pulled inspiration form Disney except Halloween. Why not pull some
inspiration for what I wear all the time. It may be unconventional but who am I to get
embarrassed for what I am wearing? I once wore my pirate queen outfit to college, in
April because I could and wanted to, so why not, right. So I sat down and said where to
start? As I browsed through my computer thinking and day dreaming I came across the
picture of Doc in Disney’s Parade of Dreams and said “why not my best friend at
Disney?”, and poof every day Disney began.
I decide to start with what I knew I had.
Then I would look in my closet and see ok I can do this character or ooo this one if I do
this with this. I was throwing things together and building upon ideas. I got lucky with the
Doc outfit and happened to have everything I wished to have. There are times when I
want to do a character but don’t have what I want for them. When that happens I make
a mental not to self “must so shopping”.
I have a whole list of characters and clothing to
go with that is constantly growing as I get new items or realize I have that!!! Most of
what I do for every day Disney is combinations of stuff I have never put together before.
Yes I do wear these outfits all day and out in public, why not they are super cute. I love
pretending I am some character and I love being Disney characters. Every day Disney
allows me to do this whenever I want not just on Halloween. So every day Disney is
getting to be a Disney character on your own terms. How did it start…to put it one way
“It all started with a mouse” thanks to Mr. Wald Disney.
