When There's A Smile in Your Heart

[scootydoesdisney]

I want to go to Disney World so badly right now but I also don’t. I want to go to a pre-pandemic Disney without masks and with parades and meet and greets and fireworks shows. I need to be able to forget about the outside world while I’m at Disney and I feel like you can’t right now. I need some magic.

I’m following up seeing Mary Poppins Returns by watching the original Mary Poppins. Because while the new movie was pretty great, the original is “practically perfect in every way!”

With all of the negativity surrounding Snow White that’s been going on recently with Kristen Bell’s remarks, I just wanted to respond with something more positive. Namely, positive and important lessons that children (and adults) learn from Snow White, and why she actually is a good role model.

You CAN survive abusive situations with your positivity in tact. The abuse from others doesn’t define you.

But, by that same token, when the Queen’s abuse threatens Snow with bodily harm, she leaves and goes to find help

It’s okay for you to have an emotional reaction to things that hurt you and you shouldn’t be afraid to cry

As she says verbatim, “Remember you’re the one who can fill the world with sunshine.” - Keep your chin up, stay positive, and share that positivity with others because you never know who it can make a difference for

Work hard when you are asked to and have a positive attitude and pride in your work (she always does her fair share and steps up to work to earn her keep and doesn’t complain)

Friends and found family can be just as special and important if your real family isn’t healthy for you

Stick by what you want and be firm when you have to be (she doesn’t let the dwarfs walk all over her and takes charge of the situations there)

Never stop believing in love even when it’s hard

Help others in need whenever you can

You CAN change people’s minds and hearts (I mean, gosh, Snow White is the only Disney film where the main character arc is a misogynist (Grumpy) learning to give up his misguided ways and value traditionally feminine things like emotions and sentimentality because of the influence of a princess - how is that NOT an important feminist message??)

[spillybun-deactivated20190921]

The idea that women are only valuable to society or good role models if they’re saving the world or doing traditionally masculine things is an incredibly sexist one and all the classic Disney princesses are just as worthy of respect and admiration as the modern ones 👍

I love it when you can pick up an animator’s quirks.

Cinderella (1950)

Once upon a time in a faraway land, there was a tiny kingdom; peaceful, prosperous, and rich in romance and tradition. Here in a stately chateau, there lived a widowed gentleman, and his little daughter, Cinderella. Although he was a kind and devoted father, and gave his beloved child every luxury and comfort, still, he felt she needed a mother’s care. And so he married again, choosing for his second wife, a woman of good family, with two daughters just Cinderella’s age, by name, Anastasia and Drizella. It was upon the untimely death of this good man, however, that the stepmother’s true nature was revealed: cold, cruel, and bitterly jealous of Cinderella’s charm and beauty, she was grimly determined to forward the interests of her own two awkward daughters. Thus, as time went by, the chateau fell into disrepair, for the family fortunes were squandered upon the vain and selfish stepsisters while Cinderella was abused, humiliated, and finally forced to become a servant in her own house. And yet, through it all, Cinderella remained ever gentle and kind, for with each dawn she found new hope that someday her dreams of happiness would come true.

One of my favourite quotes from the film!

my bff and her fam are at the Magic Kingdom today and I’m living vicariously through her snap story and the fact that I helped them plan their day

Well I’m no longer in consideration for my PI I applied for. I’ve talked to some other people and we think they canceled it since there was no movement for so long. Oh well, there’s always next year!

I learned something tragic the other day. Disney World is getting ready to replace Wishes, the nighttime fireworks show at the Magic Kingdom, with something new. I have always loved Wishes. It has been a staple of my Disney World experience since 2003. Even at 20 years old, I still feel the magic when I see it, and it brings a smile to my face (as shown above in the photo my mom took of me last time we saw Wishes in 2015). I’m sure whatever show Disney dreams up next will be great, but Wishes will always hold a special place in my heart, and I will miss it dearly.
