Aurora doesn’t have many lines in Sleeping Beauty (in fact, probably
fewer than any Disney princess). But one really stands out for me: “They say if
you dream a thing more than once, it’s bound to come true.” When everything –
including Disney parks – was shut down in 2020, I repeatedly dreamed of
Disneyland. In my dream, I wasn’t IN the park, but near enough to see Disney guests
come and go. I was doing normal things: watching movies with Heather, feeding
people, playing with grandkids. I wasn’t headed to the happiest place on earth,
but I was somehow perfectly content. In May, my dream actually happened. Our direct
flight to Seattle was cancelled at the last minute, but we snagged another with
an hours-long layover in Orange County. I watched flicks with Heather, shared
snacks, entertained grandkids, and even played a grand piano, while Disney
guests came and went around me. And I was perfectly content.
