30 Disney Facts in 1 Minute [Video]

Between Disney movies, theme parks, and TV channels, Disney is full of some interesting facts. I took on these facts and got through 30 facts in 1 minute. Watch here.

Hello, my name is Chelsea and I love all things Disney. I love Disney movies, I love Disney movie soundtracks, I love old school Disney Channel shows....you get the idea.

Let me fully explain how much I love Disney. My favorite Disney movie is Pocahontas. Now, growing not only did I love Pocahontas, but I was obsessed. My hair was past my butt because I wanted to have hair like her's. I finally cut the length when I was in 5th grade.

My bedroom was Pocahontas themed until I was in 6th grade. The only reason it was changed at that age was because my mother changed my room while I was in school. I am clearly not over that yet. I am scarred for life. There's a good chance my room would still be Pocahontas themed.

Excuse me while I go buy a Pocahontas comforter.

Anyway...
