I recently had a chance to sit down with Sarah Hyland and discuss Disney and Sleeping Beauty. Like myself Sarah is a big Disney Fan!
Sarah Hyland: “I’m a Disney Freak, and a fan of Walt Disney himself. He made Disneyland and the whole Disney corporation because he wantedadults to remain children. He wanted people to enjoy a place with their children and feel young at heart. Being part of a classic such as Sleeping Beauty is awesome. Growing up I could relate to every princess, but differently. I loved being there for my 22nd birthday. The last time I was there I was about 8.”
