Before I went to disneyland, I never imagined I'd be back after decades of not visiting. Earlier this year, I found myself rewatching disney movies like aladdin (my favorite disney movie btw) and tarzan, almost like I was rediscovering a part of my childhood.

​

Fast forward just five months later...I was standing right in front of sleeping beauty castle. It honestly felt like fate. 🤯

​

Coming home from my disneyland trip three weeks ago, I won't lie, I felt sad when it was time to leave, especially after watching the fireworks.

​

Walking down main street, u.s.a for the first time in decades truly felt like home. The nostalgia, the atmosphere, and the pure happiness are so hard to put into words.

​

Meeting disney characters still gets me just as excited as I was when I was a kid, and honestly, that feeling never gets old. ❤️

​

To end the night, I watched wondrous journeys for the very first time, and it completely left me speechless. I even teared up a little. It was one of those moments I'll remember for the rest of my life.

​

Thank you, disneyland, for the memories, the magic, and the emotions that made this trip so special. These are memories I'll carry with me forever.

​

And to my fellow disney adults, I have a question for y'all...

​

Be honest...does anyone else turn into a little kid the night before going to disneyland and barely get any sleep because you're so excited? I did 😂

​

Happy 4th of July disney fans!

Oh my gosh…I never knew they made a hello kitty tiger plushie! This is so cute! 🐅🎀❤️

​

Ever since I was a little boy, tigers have always been my favorite animals, and even now as an adult, that hasn’t changed. I’ve never outgrown my love for them.

​

As both a tiger lover and a hello kitty fan, there was no way I was going to pass this up. It’s literally the best of both worlds.

​

While I was on vacation in vegas two weeks ago, my hotel had a japanese pop culture store inside. The moment I saw this plushie on display, I actually gasped. I walked straight over, picked it up, and bought it without a second thought.

​

Now hello kitty can protect me from bad dreams, while being a tiger as we sleep together. 🥹🐅❤️

After following Zootopia and it's characters for over 10 years, I honestly never thought I would get the chance to meet Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde at Disney California Adventure during my Disneyland trip last week. It made the experience even more special knowing it happened a decade after I first became a Zootopia fan.

​

I even let Judy and Nick check out my tiger backpack, and their reactions were cute. Judy loved it, while Nick playfully jumped back when he first saw it, acting scared just to be playful with me. It instantly reminded me of the scene in Zootopia where Judy and Nick are investigating the missing mammal cases and a tiger suddenly jumps out, startling Nick. 🤣

​

The reason I wear my tiger backpack is that tigers have been my favorite animals since I was a little boy. Even as an adult, that love has never changed, I’ve never lost my inner child.

​

This was truly a full-circle moment for me as a Zootopia fan.

​

Now I have a memory I’ll always be able to look back on and cherish for years to come.

​

Lastly, a huge thank you to the Disney cast member who took a photo for me. ❤️

​

To all the Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde fans out there, this one’s for you. ❤️🐰🦊
