I seem to have jumped the gun with the blog with talking about the 50th anniversary instead of introducing myself sooo......

Close your eyes and imagine you are walking down Main Street USA. The smell of chocolate whiffs out of the confectionary and right down Main Street USA, you see the most beautiful sight throughout the World...Cinderella’s Castle. Welcome to Touch of Magic with me, Ryan James. This has been something on my bucket list for quite some time and (with the help of my school and a course) here we are. A Disney Blog. If you are interested in learning about me as a person, check out my About page! But we are here to talk about Disney. And I feel the best way to begin, is to do a Q&A about myself featuring Disney Questions.

What are your favorite Disney Movies?

When it comes to Disney Movies, I always say there is a combo amount of questions that have to go into my answers. Is it animated? Do you mean current Disney movies or past Disney movies? So to start this question off, I have a couple of favorite animated movies. For one...Mulan (1998).

I love the movie Mulan for the soundtrack and our favorite little dragon...Mushu. Eddie Murphy playing Mushu was a match made in heaven. His humor works extremely well for the film, and I do not think this role could be replace. One of my favorite songs from the soundtrack has to be Reflection. This song feature many different attributes, but the overall theme of the song is trying to find you are. This is a question we all face especially in the face of adversity.

Before I say the next one, I want to give credit to the Film Raya and The Last Dragon. This film came out in March for premier access on Disney+ and I waited until June to watch it...I should not have waited. It is amazing. I recommend it!

My other favorite animated movie is Moana. She is a badass who knows exactly what she wants to do. Her story is being a chief who looks to look forward in a new way!

My favorite non-animated movie is a trilogy...High School Musical.

This musical journey started in 2006 with the first High School Musical with the iconic line from a Karaoke host going "You know what? Someday you are gonna thank me for this." Yes! Thank you karaoke host from a ski lodge. This film trilogy has evolved a fandom of young children in the 2000s to young adults with the newer generation (and 2000s generation) getting a taste of a new series, and new members of East High. I have a couple of favorite songs from the OG film trilogy like Right Here, Right Now, and Can I Have This Dance? from High School Musical 3.

 

What is my Favorite Disney Park?


Ever since I was young, I have always thought of optimism in my life. Looking at the positive ways of looking for new avenues of success. But the main part in this is the power of optimism and using your imagination to the fullest. That is why one of the parks that has been and always will be a favorite is Magic Kingdom. There are many elements for why Magic Kingdom is one of my favorites. One reason is Cinderella's Castle. When I walk down Main Street U.S.A, and see the castle, I start to cry. It is always the highlight of my trips. But also the cavalcades, parades, and fireworks at the Kingdom.
