Disney and Reality… the Lines are Blurring.

Disney is all about Fantasy… make believe… Wishes & Dreams… and takes you to make believe places that excite all your senses… sight, sounds, smells, taste, and, even though not a sense… your imagination! Your Imagination and the feeling of euphoria that surrounds you and pushes you into sensory overload. Why do so many come to Disney to have this feeling… why do so many return time & time again to experience it all over again. After all it’s only make believe… right? Has the day to day life, and the world gotten so demanding that we all need an escape? ( yes we do! )… and has everyone always been excited about imagination… wishes… and dreaming (I hope so)… and the good news is… Disney can take us all there so easily. And, at what point does fantasy, as you experience it all over and over again, drift into your life and become part of your reality. If you are lucky, your imagination, wishes, and dreaming is part of your reality. It takes you to places outside your day to day life and give you a mini escape to another place… so at least in some part… dreaming and letting your imagination run free is part of your being and your reality. So when you go to Disney, the stage is set to let you freely go into a fantasy world of make believe, imagination, dreams and wishes. If you are one of the lucky ones that not only has the freedom to go there for extended visits… but also have the imagination and the freedom of spirit to let dreams and wishes turn into flights of fantasy as you experience all that Disney has to offer…wow… I guess you can count yourself fortunate.  When you get to live there and experience Disney anytime you want, for months on end, and have a feeling that your imagination is soaring you into magic and dreams and wishes… a euphoric escape… well… fantasy and make believe merge and become a bigger part of your reality. Both feet on the ground, but still emotionally flying high. 

[ And what really is reality… for most of us, the greater part of our life is working 40+ hours at a job, another 20+ hours at home, dealing with day to day stress and rationalizing  that we are all happy working hard for what we think is our happy life… supporting the house, the car, and the family… not to mention supporting our government and everyone that thinks that welfare is a career.  When & how did society convince us that all that work, worry, and stress was what we need to do to survive be happy… but that’s another topic to explore later. ]

So can too much imagination, dreaming, and fantasy become too much a part of your reality and well-being. I think, so long as you depart and land with both feet mentally & emotionally on the ground… Go for It! Enjoy it! … and have a imagination to take yourself to a fantasy make believe world as often as you like. Its a frame of mind, euphoric, emotionally stimulating, stress relieving, and the more time spent there, so much the better… you will no doubt feel better both emotionally & physically, and will probably live  longer more happy life… and what could be wrong with that? And you’ll always get your feet firmly back in reality when the park closes. A healthily reality is more or less a good perception of how we experience day to day life, perception is a frame of mind, and more or less a perception that includes a bit of magic and make believe, mixed with some flights of fantasy… well… I think I’ll make the choice to stick with my sometimes make believe world and escape to new places in my imagination sparked by Disney Magic. Oh look… there goes Mickey. Funny how we all pose with the Disney Characters as if they were real… you know it’s really not Cinderella… right? … but who wants to think like that! Anyway… the only one that’s positively real is Tinkerbell…. right? See… I knew it!
