Disney Challenge Day 50: A Movie That Inspires You

50 Day Disney Challenge

Day Fifty: A Movie That Inspires You

I would say that Mulan is a really inspiring movie. It teaches us that if we're brave enough, we can defy all odds and social expectations and prove everyone wrong. Also it teaches us that we can find more strength in ourselves that we never thought we could have. The fact that she was an outcast woman in China that took a HUGE risk by disguising herself as a man shows her bravery and inspires others to be courageous and go after what you believe in. Plus, who doesn't think "I'll Make a Man Out of You" is the perfect pump up and inspirational song?

That's it for Disney challenges!! I made it exactly before the day of check-in! Perfect timing!

Disney Challenge Day 49: Disney Animal I Want

50 Day Disney Challenge

Day Forty-Nine: Disney Animal I Want to Have

I think out of all the animals in Disney movies I'd really want to have Pascal! He's absolutely adorable. Even though in real life I don't really like reptiles and lizards (chameleons, in this case) kind of freak me out...Pascal would be an exception because he's so cute ;)

Disney Challenge Day 48: Favorite Disney Singer

50 Day Disney Challenge

Day Forty-Eight: Your Favorite Disney Singer

Demi Lovato is my all time favorite singer, period. I've always loved her, ever since she made her debut on Disney Channel's Camp Rock. I actually only wanted to watch that movie because the Jonas Brothers were in it...but I fell in love with Demi's voice in the process. Her music has helped me through so much. If I have a bad day or I'm going through one of those nights where I felt pretty hopeless...I'd turn on her music and it'd just make me feel so much better. A lot of people relate to Taylor Swift's music and lyrics, but honestly Demi's music has connected with me more than any artist.

She's an amazing role model for young women, and I have so much respect and admiration for her for when she decided to take control of her eating disorder and be so open about it to the public so other young women can feel like they can get help, just like her. It's okay to be imperfect, and you'll be stronger in the end.

I was privileged enough to win tickets to see her in concert over the summer and not gonna lie...I cried I was so happy. It was such a surreal experience to see the artist behind all of the music that had helped me through my rough patches...I never thought it would actually happen. She sounds AMAZING live, without any autotune or music to cover her voice (which is a huge reason why I love her). It's been amazing seeing her career grow so much in the past couple years.

Disney Challenge Day 47: Least Favorite Disney Singer

50 Day Disney Challenge

Day Forty-Seven: Least Favorite Disney Singer

This definitely wasn't a difficult question. I've never been a fan of Miley Cyrus. I've never really cared for her voice or her acting. I give her props for being super successful, but I've never been that much of a fan of her or her music. When she stopped with Hannah Montana and started dressing inappropriately and being all rebellious just to get away from the "Disney" image, I lost respect. You shouldn't have to be super rebellious and crazy to prove that you've grown up and moved on from that life. But hey, if that's what she prefers to do, that's her choice. I do have to congratulate her on her recent engagement to Liam. They've been together for a long time so I wish them the best!

Disney Challenge Day 46: Disney Halloween Costume?

50 Day Disney Challenge

Day Forty-Six: Which Disney Character Have You Dressed Up as for Halloween?

When I was in 3rd grade, I dressed up as Jessie from Toy Story for Halloween! Unfortunately, I don't know where I can find a picture of me in that costume, but luckily I dressed up as another Disney character just this year! If anyone remembers, I dressed up as Snow White this year for Halloween, but as a DisneyBound style (something I made myself with everyday clothes).

What Disney characters have you dressed up as for Halloween?

Disney Challenge Day 45: Most Annoying Movie

50 Day Disney Challenge

Day Forty-Five: Most Annoying Movie

Umm...nothing really comes to mind besides maybe the Hannah Montana movie, which I haven't even watched all the way through. I guess the reason why I didn't watch all the way through is because I found it annoying! That and that I don't really care for Miley, like I mentioned before. I think Hannah Montana went on way too long on Disney Channel, squeezing every ounce of popularity possible to try and keep it going until it really needed to end.

Disney Challenge Day 44: Job I Want at Disney

50 Day Disney Challenge

Day Forty-Four: Job I Want at Disney

My top choice for the DCP was merchandise, because I've always wanted to work somewhere like World of Disney. But in the long run, I want to be involved in Disney's social media marketing department, or something similar with marketing. Hopefully after the DCP and after I graduate college I can get a professional internship with Disney in the marketing field, and then move up from there! That's my ultimate dream!

Disney Challenge Day 43: Favorite Disney Channel Show

50 Day Disney Challenge

Day Forty-Three: Favorite Disney Channel Show

Oh gosh Disney Channel used to be the only station I watched when I was younger...it's really sad that the shows on that channel has slowly gone downhill, only focusing on the singing and fashion and making their actors pop stars instead of shows that are relatable and send a good message to their young audience.

That being said, this is a really hard question! There were so many good shows, like Lizzie McGuire and Even Stevens. However, I think my favorites were That's So Raven and Wizards of Waverly Place. Which makes sense because I like stories and movies that have to do with magic of some sort (or for That's So Raven, psychics). I'd watch Hannah Montana but I'm really not a big fan of Miley Cyrus at all, and I never have been. I had a huge crush on Cole Sprouse when Suite Life of Zack and Cody was airing, so I'd watch that show all the time too. But Raven and Wizards were probably the two shows I'd really watch consistently and look for the new episodes.

Disney Challenge Day 42: Favorite Disney Broadway

50 Day Disney Challenge

Day Forty-Two: Favorite Disney Broadway

I've actually never seen a Disney broadway show before! Which really makes me sad. But I have to say I'd probably like The Lion King on Broadway...just from the fact that it's my favorite movie, I adore the music, and I really like the costumes and outfits they use for the show (which is similar to the parade costumes they've used). I really hope to see this show on Broadway sometime in my life! I feel like it'd be an amazing experience.

Disney Challenge Day 41: Favorite Musical Movie

50 Day Disney Challenge

Day Forty-One: Your favorite musical movie

Does Tangled count as a musical? Well, it does now! They have characters that randomly burst into song (like the good ol' Disney days) so I think that qualifies it as a musical to at least some extent. I just really love how upbeat and fun this movie is, it really reminds me of the old princess movies (except with CGI graphics). The songs are fun and catchy, and the story is touching. I also love Pascal and Maximus, they're great. Not to mention Flynn Ryder is kind of perfect.

Only nine more days until I leave for the DCP! Yikes! I should probably start packing soon....

Speaking of packing, I'll be filming a packing video blog today! Stay tuned!

Disney Challenge Day 40: I Want to Live in This Movie...

50 Day Disney Challenge

Day Forty: A Movie I Want to Live In

I don't even need to think twice about this one! I'd LOVE to live in The Incredibles. To be able to have superpowers like that would be so much fun! I feel like Violet and I could be best friends, and her parents are awesome. Jack-Jack is absolutely adorable. I've just always been obsessed with the movie and I would just love to even spend a day in their shoes, if that ever was possible.

Disney Challenge Day 39: An Ugly Character

50 Day Disney Challenge

Day Thirty-Nine: An Ugly Character

Ursula deserves this title for haunting my childhood nightmares when I was a little kid...I still remember one of those dreams! I was on a boat kind of like the ones for the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Disneyland, and I was floating in an ocean towards this giant cave. The cave was kind of like a ride at Disney, but with her head on the top part, laughing maniacally like she does when she turns into a giant sea witch in The Little Mermaid. It's just me, slowly floating towards her while she towers over me with that laugh...

Thankfully, I've grown out of it! But she's definitely the reason why I didn't watch that movie very much when I was younger. Probably the reason why we don't even own it on video!

Disney Challenge Day 38: Princess With the Best Hair

50 Day Disney Challenge

Day Thirty-Eight: Disney Princess With the Best Hair

I've always been jealous of Pocahontas's long and beautiful dark hair. No matter what weather conditions it goes through, it just stays perfectly! Granted...she is animated and it's obviously not possible in real life..but whenever it's windy and my hair goes all over the place it reminds me how impossible it is for me to have perfect hair like hers, or like any of the Disney princesses really.

Don't worry, I love my hair too! ;)

Also, Merry Christmas everyone! <3

Disney Challenge Day 36: Beautiful Movie Scene

50 Day Disney Challenge

Day Thirty-Six: A Beautiful Scene from a Disney Movie

I couldn't find the exact scene or pictures of the beautiful scenery, but the landscape and animation in Brave was absolutely breathtaking. Though I'm not a huge fan of the movie, the latest Pixar movie definitely outdid itself in regards to its animation. I'd say this has the most beautiful and realistic scenery in any Disney movie, which is a big step in animation in general.

Disney Challenge Day 35: Most Memorable Ride

50 Day Disney Challenge

Day Thirty-Five: The Ride With the Most Memories

This was a tough one, but I've got to say Tower of Terror. This ride is one of the very few that can still make me genuinely terrified. But it's not only about the fear, this ride is just so much fun. It's a full on experience with walking through the petrified hotel, watching the video in the library, and waiting in line in the boiler room preparing yourself for the epic ride ahead. Whenever I ride this ride I never know what to do with my hands, so I end up flailing around a bit and stomping my feet! Nevertheless it's definitely one of my favorites!

I remember one time when I was in middle school my family and I were waiting in line for Tower of Terror in California Adventure. I was wearing a camouflage shirt and there were two actors pretending to be hotel guests. One of the actors turned to me and said, "Oh! We have a soldier in our presence!" They saluted me and I shyly laughed. It's those little special Disney moments you remember forever.

Day Thirty-Four: Picture of Me at Disney

This is definitely my most favorite picture I've ever taken at Disneyland! It was my best friend Holly's first time ever on Splash Mountain, and of course I've been on it numerous times. Let's just say mine was posed...and Holly's....not so much.

Disney Challenge Day 33: Disneyland or Disney World?

50 Day Disney Challenge

Day Thirty-Three: Disneyland or Disney World?

Wow. Could you ask a harder question? Is that even possible? I find the two to be pretty different, especially since Disney World has more parks than Disneyland! However, I do have to say Disneyland over Disney World right now, since I've only been to Disney World once in my life. As I said in the previous post about my favorite park, Disneyland holds so many memories that can never be forgotten or replaced! I am really excited to make new memories in Disney World during the DCP though, which is arriving in only 20 days!!!

Disney Challenge Day 32: Scariest Ride

50 Day Disney Challenge

Day Thirty-Two: Scariest Ride

I don't think I've ever been more terrified on a ride when I rode Dinosaur. Ohhh my gosh. When I was younger I used to be scared of any kind of animatronics, or even costumed characters. I've grown out of those fears for the most part, but Dinosaur is still the most terrifying ride I've ever been on. The first time I rode it I closed my eyes and covered my ears pretty much the entire time. My family thought it was fun and decided to ride it a second time right after we first went (...joy). This time, I kept my eyes open (for the most part) the entire time, but still covered my ears. Needless to say, those pictures they took on the ride definitely captured the most genuine looks of terror I've ever made on a ride at a theme park.

Just to give an example on how terrifying this ride is (in case you haven't been on it before), here's the full video of the ride in the front seat! (I watched this video before I went on the ride...and I was still scared out of my wits.)

Day Thirty-One: Least Favorite Character

I've never really been a fan of Donald Duck...I've always kind of thought his voice was a little annoying and he was really selfish and always jealous about Mickey's spotlight...However, the Three Caballeros ride in the Mexico portion of Epcot was cute and fun!

Disney Challenge Day 30: Favorite Theme Park Attraction/Ride

50 Day Disney Challenge

Day Thirty: Favorite Theme Park Attraction/Ride

Rockin' Roller Coaster is my all time favorite ride, not just including Disney parks. I love the concept and how it speeds from zero to sixty miles per hour in 2.8 seconds. Waiting in line for this ride actually sparked my interest in Aerosmith's music, which I'm sure was the original intent of the ride. Their music is so fun to listen to during those long waiting times, it definitely makes the process more fun! The ride is so fast and so fun, I'm so excited to get to ride it again when the Disney College Program starts! I've already decided with my friend and roommate that Hollywood Studios and this ride are going to be the first stops as soon as we get our free passes into the parks.
