A Little (Disney) Joy Goes A Long Way

It's a Thursday so today we're blog hopping with Lisa from the Babes in Disneyland blog.  Today's topic is about Disney joy and some of our most joyful Park moments.  Talk about a wide open canopy!

Merriam-Webster defines joy as (among other things): A State of Happiness.  This is something we can really get behind!  For us, The Parks are full of joy.  Unfortunately, it can be a bit difficult to pin down particular moments of joy because there are so many of them!  But one of the greatest things about said joy is that it works in two different ways:

First, you feel joy while you're in the moment, as is evidenced by the Days In The Park kids.

And second, you can feel joy well after the fact, as this picture of us with the Seven Dwarfs is still one of our favorite pictures ever and is still something we're talking about months later.

What about you? What are some of your favorite "moments of joy" inside The Parks? Care to share? Drop us a line because we'd love to hear from you!  And remember, the next time you're in The Parks take a moment, take a picture or two, and just enjoy the joy.  And while you're at it, take a few minutes to go back right now and look at some of your pictures from the past; we can almost guarantee that there's some joy in there just waiting to be rediscovered all over again.
