12 Days of Disney: Wordless Wednesday – Retrospective

12 Days of Disney is over halfway done, and today we’re linking up with Focused On The Magic’s Wordless Wednesdays. This week’s theme is Retrospective so, with out further ado – here are some #throwbackmoments to my 2014 with Disney:

My first trip of the year was a long awaited return to Disneyland, and reunion with my high school friends, for the #MostMagicalReunion of all time. Some highlights include: seeing the Soundsational Parade for the first time, getting to see the new Cars Land and entry to California Adventure, and doing a character dinner at Chef Mickey’s (and drinking at Trader Sam’s afterwards).

Meeting the Evil Queen (and not pictured, Cruella De Ville), was one of the best (and most evil) meet and greets of all time.

My high school friends and I had some great meet and greets, including in Pooh’s thoughtful spot.

I also got to go back to my home away from home, Walt Disney World, with my girlfriend for a quick (and random) trip in October. Highlights have already been talked about here, but included: getting one last ride on Maelstrom, drinking and eating our way through the food and wine passport, and getting to celebrate Halloween with my favorite parade of all time (Boo To You, obviously).

Goodnight, Sweet Prince

Also, shout out to my roommate Brittany, who went to Disney World in August and brought me this Olaf fan:

And, finally, for those of you who’ve made it all the way to the end of this post and wondered where my never ending Disney obsession comes from, here’s a serious throwback to prove to you that I was (basically) born this way:
