I mean, there is something about meeting your favorite Disney Pals first thing. It just feels right. After all, this is their home. Imagine you visited your friend's house and you immediately played with all their stuff without saying high. Unthinkable, right? But once you greet the main mouse, you know the day is going to be epic. It's time for some magic.

(Of course, if we were to apply this analogy to me, it would consist of:

- Q comes over to a friend's house

- Q is too uncomfortable to talk to said friend

- My wife makes conversation while Q takes pics

- Q gives an awkward "thank you" and walks away, looking at his camera. 😅)

In the heart of the Magic Happens parade at Disneyland, Pluto steals the spotlight with his ears perked high, showcasing his playful and endearing charm. As he locks eyes with the camera, his expression captures the sheer joy and excitement that define Disney's beloved canine character. Pluto's whimsical antics bring an extra dose of magic to the parade, reminding everyone of the timeless allure of Disney's classic characters.

In this enchanting moment, Pluto's presence becomes a delightful surprise for onlookers, his expressive eyes and trademark ears serving as a whimsical invitation to join in the festivities. Whether you're a longtime fan or a first-time visitor, Pluto's antics in the Magic Happens parade offer a heartwarming reminder that the magic of Disney is not just on the floats but is alive in every character that graces the parade route.

I'm genuinely curious. What was your first thought when it popped up on your feed? Was it: I can't wait to be back here!? (Me too!) Was it: No way am I ever riding that!? (Completely understandable!) Was it: the bright and vibrant colors bring me joy?! (I'm hoping for this one!)

Or was it: I am longing for the day when projector boxes are closed and jet platforms are down so I can get a full photo and video of the lagoon without trying to figure out how to hide both?

Okay, so that last one may just be me.
