Now it’s time to say goodbye…

Posted in Disney by

Some years ago, my mom and I took a trip to Walt Disney World. While standing in front of Minnie Mouse’s house, in awe even at the age of 19, I said, “Someday I’m going to live there.” My mom offhandedly replied, “Okay,” and I repeated, with insistence, “No, I love that house. Someday I’m going to live there.”

Years later, after graduating from college and following a multitude of dreams, I don’t actually LIVE in Minnie Mouse’s house – after all, it’s still Minnie’s house – but I do find myself visiting Magic Kingdom Park quite often. More often than I ever could have imagined back when I was 19.

Today was the last day of operation for Mickey’s Toontown Fair, where Minnie Mouse’s house resides. Toontown is closing to make way for many exciting changes as a part of the Fantasyland Expansion. I’m giddy about the future of Magic Kingdom, but I can’t help but feel a pang in my heart and my stomach knowing that I’ll no longer be able to take a stroll through Minnie’s house.

And believe it or not, Minnie Mouse has a sewing machine. As if she weren’t already my idol!

Magical sewing skills!

Disney’s newest heroine, Rapunzel, from the phenomenal film Tangled knows how to sew!

Okay, so sewing wasn’t a huge focus in the movie or anything, but I was humored to see it represented at all. Not to mention, the screenshot above is simultaneously hilarious and adorable.

My favorite Disney character, Wendy Darling, also had mad sewing skills. She actually succeeded at the seemingly impossible task of sewing a shadow back onto Peter Pan:

Giselle from Enchanted took her sewing skills to a Frauline Maria level when she magically created her whimsical blue dress out of curtains:

Apparently Cinderella had some sewing know-how, as she was seen reading a dress pattern. However, it seems that the birds and mice really did most of the work, so Cinderella’s actual skills are debatable.

Hmm, any others that I missed?
