I promised you more Disney so prepare yourself for an avalanche of nothing but DISNEY. These decisions were very, VERY difficult so please understand if I give more than one answer.

I’m a loyal California girl. 🌞

• Favorite Disney Park Attraction – Big Thunder Mountain Railroad

This ride has just enough twists and turns to excite me but not scare me. I am not ashamed to admit I am a wimp when it comes to roller coasters.

• Favorite Moment/Experience at a Disney Park

I have numerous memories from visiting Disney parks over the past 10+ years, but there is no time like the first time. I was eight years old, disney-obsessed, and way too excited to notice crowds and hurting feet. No negatives, only positives. I still have my autograph book and pictures from that trip. Good times!

I am the brunette version of Lizzie. One disaster after another. 😑

Me and my friends used to pretend we were the Cheetah Girls; my identities were Chanel and Dorinda. I still know most of the lyrics to their songs. Cheetahlicious!!

I had a sleepover when HSM 2 premiered, and, when I hosted a sleepover for my dance school friends, we watched the trilogy. We’re all in this together!

*Note: I know #3 isn’t a Disney Channel original movie, but I couldn’t mention one without the other two.

• Favorite Disney Princess(es) – Mulan & Jasmine

Source: http://www.popsugar.com/entertainment/Disney-Making-Live-Action-Mulan-37184493

Source: http://disney.wikia.com/wiki/File:Ds-prncss07-disny-0913_disney_princess_jasmine_in_front_of_the_sultan_s_palace_1600px.jpg

Mulan’s courage is something I admire and strive for. Imagine that! A cartoon character as a role model. Jasmine is exotic and beautiful (yes, a cartoon character can be beautiful). She longs to be independent, free from strict rules; I can relate to that as an artist. Mulan is my favorite, but Jasmine is a close second because she was my favorite growing up.

• Favorite Disney Prince – Flynn Rider & Aladdin

Source: http://kristoff-son-of-khione.tumblr.com/post/91153735237/tangled-moments-flynn-rider

Hypothetically, if I had to pick a Disney prince to marry, it would probably be Flynn. Why? I am a serious person so I need someone to balance out my drama with humor. Flynn is a funny guy, but he also has a good heart underneath all the capers and hijinks.

No matter what Aladdin wants, he always follows his heart and does the right thing. For example, he steals bread to feed his empty stomach, but, after outrunning a group of soldiers, he decides to give the bread to two children digging in the trash for food. He has three wishes, and he chooses to give Genie his freedom with the 3rd.

• Favorite Royal Disney Couple/Love Story – Beast/Prince Adam & Belle

Source: http://aprincessteaparty.tumblr.com/post/64355716885/disney-animation-why-are-you-so-perfect

Belle looks past Beast’s scary appearance and makes an effort to be his friend when no other human will. Beautiful!

• Favorite Animated Disney Movie – Tarzan

Source: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120855/

The environment, story, and music blend together in sweet harmony. There is never a moment when watching the movie is a bad idea.

Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lfciC33t3M0

Fun Fact: There was a TV show on Disney Channel called Legend of Tarzan. Look it up on Youtube and enjoy!

*Note: My current top seven animated Disney movies are Tarzan, Hercules, Aladdin, Brother Bear, The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Mulan, and Lilo & Stitch. This list is subject to change. Yes, Mulan was ahead of Aladdin in the “Disney Princess Movie” category, but from a broader point of view Aladdin is in the lead. I’m just now noticing six of my top seven movies have a male protagonist. Interesting!

• Favorite Non-Royal Disney Couple/Love Story – Tarzan & Jane

Source: http://disneyexaminer.com/2015/08/27/15-of-disneys-most-eligible-bachelors/

They are basically the non-royal equivalent of Beast and Belle except Tarzan isn’t arrogant, and he remains a jungle man. Adorable!

• Favorite Non-Princess Disney Character(s) – Megara & Esmeralda

Source: http://rebloggy.com/post/disney-hercules-megara-disney-gif-meg-disney-gifs/40449965434

Source: http://starryeyedrevue.blogspot.com/2014/03/review-in-giffy-kiss-of-deception-by.html

Both are beautiful and sassy. Need I say more?! When I was little, I went through a gypsy phase. I wore my Esmeralda skirt ALL the time, and, to top it off, I wore my Pocahontas shirt. Disney fashion at its finest!

Favorite Non-Prince Disney Character – Stitch, Phil, & Phoebus

Source: http://rebloggy.com/post/gifs-disney-subtitles-mycreations-disneyedit-disneyyandmore-hondedit-secondsta/97513216701

Stitch is quirky and adorable, and he feels like he doesn’t belong anywhere, which is something I feel on a daily basis. Basically we’re long lost twins. Phoebus is hysterical; he is Flynn Rider #2. What can I say? I like to laugh. 😂

• Favorite Talking Disney Sidekick(s) – Genie & Mushu

Source: http://moviegifsthatrock.tumblr.com/post/98924926514/aladdin-ron-clements-john-musker-1992

Source: http://quotesgram.com/mushu-mulan-disney-movie-quotes/

This category is hard to narrow down because some of the best Disney characters are sidekicks. Genie is Robin Williams in cartoon form. We’re not worthy of his genius!! Mushu’s personality never ceases to make me cry from laughter, and I most definitely need Pegasus in my life. I wouldn’t have to drive! 👍

• Favorite Non-Talking Disney Sidekick(s): Meeko, & Pegasus

Source: http://tristan1789.tumblr.com/post/132682974207

I split the sidekick category because this decision felt like I was choosing my favorite child, and I had to make room for indecision. ;) I have ALWAYS loved Meeko & Pegasus. Both of them are adorable, and they have some attitude. Meeko is mischievous, and Pegasus is sassy.

• Favorite Disney Villain – Hades

Source: http://cheshircatfan.tumblr.com/post/88948559625

Hades is a villain, but he’s also funny. I’m not comparing the two, but he brings to mind a villainous version of Genie. Maybe, maybe not.

• Animated Disney Character(s) I Am Most Like – Belle & Megara

Source: http://runwithrockets.tumblr.com/post/92336044784/my-friends-call-me-meg-at-least-they-would-if-i

I have fair skin, brown hair, and green eyes like Belle (green and hazel eyes are similar). Also, I love reading. I am quite sassy and stubborn; that’s where Megara fits into the puzzle. It is 50/50. Sugar & spice. Call me Bellegara!!

• Least Favorite Character(s) From a Disney Movie – Francis from Swiss Family Robinson and Snow White from Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs

I mean no offense, but I am personally annoyed by these two characters, especially their voices.

• Favorite Song From An Animated Disney Movie – I See the Light

Source: http://mickeyandcompany.tumblr.com/post/58935992915/the-descending-lantern-that-rapunzel-lifted-back

This song is lyrically touching and vocally stunning. It also translates seamlessly into other languages. To me, that is what makes it not just a good song but a great song.

*Note: Some of my other favorite songs (in no particular order) include A Whole New World, God Bless the Outcasts, Go the Distance, Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride, I’ll Make a Man Out of You, I Wont Say I’m in Love, Look Through My Eyes, and Two Worlds. I’m not sure I could ever pick a definite top 3 or 5 or 10. Way too hard a decision!

• Favorite Cover of a Song From an Animated Disney Movie – Hawaiian Roller Coaster Ride by Jump 5

I blasted Jump 5 back in the day. This song always puts a smile on my face and makes me want to dance.

I can’t explain exactly why these are my favorite Pixar movies. All I can say is I love the concept and the heart of this series. Fun Fact: I have stuffed animal versions of Mike and Sully from Monsters University on my bed. That’s right! Making my twenties awesome. 😉

• Favorite Pixar Character(s) – Mike Wasowski & Woody.

I love Woody’s loyalty and desire to preserve tradition. I love that no matter how many times Mike gets criticized and knocked down, he gets back up and finds a way to succeed. A friend and a fighter, two things I strive to be.

• Favorite Song From a Pixar Movie: Life is a Highway, Rascal Flatts

Source: http://disneypixar.tumblr.com/post/139124145165/never-tire

Every time I watch the movie, I can’t help singing out loud when this song plays.

🎶 Life’s like a road that you travel on
When there’s one day here and the next day gone
Sometimes you bend, sometimes you stand
Sometimes you turn your back to the wind 🎶

• What Disney/Pixar Movie(s) Makes Me Cry Without Fail – Lilo & Stitch & Toy Story 3

Source: http://huntingtonharbourmall.com/event/lilo-stitch-movie-night/

Stitch feels like he does not belong anywhere. Who hasn’t felt that way at some point in their life??

Source: http://giphy.com/gifs/toy-story-3-37rx4yuJEM944

Throughout the entire movie, Andy is dealing with saying goodbye to childhood. The story never ceases to make me cry because I am currently struggling with that very issue.

Honestly, I think every Disney movie has at least one part that makes me tear up. When Bambi’s mother dies in Bambi. When Sulley says goodbye to Boo in Monsters, Inc. When Aladdin sets Genie free in Aladdin. The ENTIRE The Fox and the Hound movie. The ENTIRE Dumbo movie. When Ariel says goodbye to her dad at the end of The Little Mermaid. There are numerous other scenes that make me cry, too many to count. Disney certainly knows how to tug at one’s heartstrings! 😭
