Suprita is an average human with a desire to make every minute of life above average. I am a mom, wife, daughter, fiction lover, budding writer, avid Netflix watcher, extroverted introvert, passionate HR professional, wannabe dancer, small business owner, experimental chef, Pilates enthusiast, and a proud survivor.
But I refuse to be defined—or confined—by labels. I am always learning, always growing, always living, one minute at a time.
My motto in life: Live and let live.
Long story long: years ago, I went to Hong Kong Disneyland for work and loved it so much that I promised myself I’d come back one day with my family. Fast-forward to this Christmas—dream unlocked.
Two families. Grandparents. Kids. Disney tickets booked. And a very cute Disney-themed VRBO with a pool and five bedrooms. What could possibly go wrong?
Everything.
One day before we were set to drive, the booking was cancelled due to flooding. Cue the panic. Then VRBO swoops in and rebooks us—same price. Victory!
We pack up home-cooked food, snacks, and set off from Ontario → Atlanta → Florida. We arrive… and the place is already occupied. Double-booked. The owner ghosts everyone.
So we pull into Walmart. Priorities?
• Bathroom
• Disney T-shirts (non-negotiable)
My husband is on hour-long calls with VRBO. My sister and I are laughing about possibly spending the night in a Walmart parking lot—at least we’d be doing it in Disney shirts.
Four hours later: no luck. We book Delta hotel rooms instead. Now we have tons of home-cooked food and zero microwaves. So we eat it cold, collapse, and sleep like defeated champions.
The next day was supposed to be a park day… but exhaustion said absolutely not. We pivoted. Because Disney requires strategy, not vibes.
The day after that, we finally made it. No Slinky Dog (the ride had an hour and a half long line), but plenty of rides, careful plotting, happy kids, and very tired adults.
And honestly?
Disney really is the most magical, wonderful, happiest place on earth.
I’d Ramble in it any day—awake, asleep, or stuck in a Walmart parking lot.
