    answer I will most likely get is, “Why? Isn’t Disney just for kids?” or “You should grow up.” But honestly, getting in touch with my Disney side lets me be myself and content.

    Cheryll Y Greene: A Quiet, but not Silent Hero History is not about events that have transpired, it is about those events that have been recorded.
