In which Seanan is flying to Florida.

This time tomorrow, I will not only be at Disney World, I will have been there for three hours. So you'll please excuse me if my current connection to linear reality is, um, not so solid. Nope. Not really. Here are things you'll need to know!

To anyone who wants anything from Seanan between now and May 13th:

I am very, very, very much in need of a break, and that is why I am boarding a big metal sky-bird and soaring off to the House of Mouse, where no one who isn't actually in my party will be able to find me with any reliability. I will have Wifi, and I will have my phone, but I will not be tethered to them as I am in the real world, and I won't be home, which is where things like "the mailing supplies" live. At this time, all giveaway prizes and contracts have been mailed, and there are still about twenty shirts pending (not counting the ones omitted from the original delivery). Two shirts have been returned to me due to address issues. This will all be dealt with when I get back.

Mail sent through my contact forms will go through Kate and Vixy, as always, with a catch: Vixy is going to Disney World with me. So if you're using the www.miragrant.com contact form, please expect delays all around.

To anyone who thinks it might be fun to rob my house:

They say not to tell the internet when you're traveling, because it tempts thieves. I get that. I also get that the nature of my life makes it hard to hide when I do something like "I'm going to drop offline for thirteen days and fill my Twitter feed with pictures of Disney World." So...

Please don't rob me, nebulous internet baddies. I have a housemate, a large dog, and a house-sitter. More, I really don't have anything valuable in the traditional sense; my only real electronics will be in transit with me, and most of my dolls are haunted. Save yourself. Stay away.

To anyone who thinks it's weird for an adult to be this excited about Disney:

I think it's weird how excited adults get about professional sports, but you don't see me coming into their space and harshing their squee. I even let Shawn tell me how the Red Sox are doing every season, despite my total lack of fucks to give. So please don't tell me my passions are strange or immature. I don't care.

Disney time! See you all on the rested, refreshed, wind-blown, sunburnt flip-side!

Speaking as someone who has always been at least a hemisphere away from any of the Disneys, I don't quite 'get' the whole thing, but clearly a lot of people Have Strong Feelings about it, and I'm glad for them.

I hope you, Vixy and everyone else have a supermegaawesome time there, and that it is just what you need for recharging your batteries.

Because a fully charged Seanan is a fascinating, slightly scary and a little overwhelming thing to watch, which is of course what we come here for.

Enjoy!

I've got a 10/2016 trip planned (Spending my birthday at Hollywood Studios, yay!) but I am severely tempted to schedule a shorter trip this fall because I want to go NOOOOOOW.

Excitement about Disney Resort Going

I live 40 miles from Disneyland. My dad was there, opening day, with my oldest brother. I can't tell you how much I've teared up in this past year when we couldn't afford to maintain our annual passes (after having them for 4 years). Hell, I'm tearing up, now.

I don't think it's weird at all to be excited to go to Disney World. I'm jealous (but in a good way, because I want all my friends to visit places they want to go). Have a great time, get pics of yourself with various characters, and hopefully that super-awesome Gaston will be on-duty while you're there.

We met Gaston.

He was amazing.

Enjoy your Disney. (I kind of look forward to your Disney trips. I have yet to go to Disneyworld, and you and another friend have made it sound awesome. Must go some day. Would like the small children to both be old enough to remember it first, tho.)

Good call.

Have a wonderful time! I find that I need my Disney fix at least once a year, more if necessary =)

I am very, very happy for you.
Disneyland!!!!

Without having to take a kid to the bathroom, wipe their nose, or listen to them complain about the long lines!!!!!

Whoever is giving you the stink-eye for going as an adult without kids is just jealous.

Pretty much!

I love Disneyworld - as do a number of my very-much-adult friends! It's just so expensive to go these days. *sigh* I do want to go again some day, though.

July 21 2015, 18:07:00 UTC 1 year ago

You will.

My roommate is at Disney right now and I'm excited for her and you! Disney is all sorts of awesome and vacations are needed. Enjoy, relax and enjoy the house of Mouse.

Have a good trip!
And yeah, some of those sports fans are nuts.

I don't think being excited about Disney is weird at all, My whole family is the same way! We're all addicts and happy to be so. Heck, my Mom is in her late sixties, and it's one of her absolute favorite places ever. Come on, it's a place where magic is real and dreams can come true. That's a pretty potent drug. And if you don't love that idea, then I don't know what's wrong with you. This is someone who, upon first catching sight of the castle, starts pointing at it and bouncing up and down squealing in glee like a five year old. Every time, though it was admittedly worst my first visit. All I needed to see was the spires sticking up over the treetops to set me off! I swear if they did adult princess make-overs I'd do one just for the one of a kind experience. I'm rather jealous you get to go, because my Disney urge has been growing especially powerful lately. I want to go back so badly. Therefore, I hope you have an utter blast, and understand completely why you require an infusion of the magic, since I am the same way. :)

As a fellow Disney girl, I wish you a magical trip! And also I am deeply envious of that particular destination, because I have been obsessed with Beauty and the Beast since it came out, and eeee! New castle!!! =)

Yes!!!!

I can't wait to read Disney World things! I'm just in the midst of planning a Disney World & Land trip so my brain is craving a lot of Disney :)

What's not to love about Disney!? People who think it's weird for an adult to have fun there are missing out!
