It’s official I’m 40! I decided to embrace this new decade by celebrating the big 4-0 showing my personality and love of Disney with my 40 Ears Old shirt.
When Is Walt Disney World’s Birthday?
Let me start by saying I share a birthday with Walt Disney World and Epcot. These parks opened on October 1st, a few years before I was born, but I love that we share the same birthday. I had big goals of celebrating my 40th birthday in the park, and came up with the idea for my shirt years ago. I knew I wanted to take 40 Mickey heads in the shape of a big Mickey head and wear some birthday ears to celebrate and show my love for one of my favorite places.
I wasn’t able to make a trip down to Orlando to celebrate, but I think it’s important to take time to enjoy life and what you love. I was lucky to have had many surprises over my birthday weekend, between a weekend getaway with girlfriends to finding 50 people standing in my backyard for a surprise party. I am truly blessed.

Disney Birthday Shirt
I’m so pleased with how it this shirt turned out. I got so many comments and it was just fun to wear a crazy outfit for the day. Of course if you just wear the shirt it’s not crazy, but I chose to pair it with a tutu and sparkly ears.
