Disneytheme Stories

"They say if you dream a thing more than once, it's sure to come true," I tell my daughter Shelby, quoting her favourite Disney character and trying to believe it myself. Ever since I introduced Shelby to her first Disney film, she's dreamed of working at Disney World. What could seem better to an eleven year old than being a beautiful princess at the happiest place on Earth? My Shelby might not be like the other children in her class. But who says different is wrong? She's simply a little girl with big dreams. "Do not be fooled by its commonplace appearance. Like so many things, it is not what is outside, but what is inside that counts." - Aladdin

Shelby's dream lives on despite being twenty-one years old. She loves Disney as much as she did when she was eleven, if not more. Her mum believed it was a phase every child went through, wanting to be a princess; however for Shelby this wasn't the case. Sadly Shelby's life isn't like a fairy-tale anymore. Her mother has fallen ill and doctors aren't sure whether a cure will be found in time. She desperately needs a job, but everyone turns her away judging her from the outside instead of giving her a chance. She is considering a big decision that will spin her whole world upside down; will she live to regret it? Her mum believes so. This is a story of love, laughter and heartbreak. Follow Shelby through her journey of trying to do right by herself as well as others, and the lengths she will go to try and make her dream come true.
