    It had been a few weeks since Sidelined: The QB and Me premiered, and while the world was still buzzing about the film, Noah Beck and Sienna Agudong were just trying to enjoy life post-production. So when Noah randomly texted, “Mickey Mouse day? I’ll buy the churros,” Sienna responded instantly with a Mickey emoji and “I’m already packing my ears.”

    And that’s how they found themselves at Disneyland.

    It was a warm, sunny California day, perfect for a Disneyland trip. Noah wore a gray hoodie, sunglasses, and a goofy grin. Sienna rocked high-waisted jeans, a white tank top, and of course — her classic black Minnie Mouse ears.

    Their first stop? Space Mountain. “You better not scream louder than me,” Sienna warned while they waited in line.

    “No promises,” Noah laughed. “I’m mentally preparing myself to be launched into space.”

    They screamed. Loud. The ride photo was proof — Sienna throwing up peace signs mid-drop while Noah looked like he saw a ghost.

    They hit every ride like two kids on summer break — Indiana Jones, Big Thunder Mountain, Haunted Mansion. At one point, they got stuck at the top of the Ferris wheel in California Adventure, and Noah nervously joked, “This is how we die.”

    Sienna just rolled her eyes, “You’re such a quarterback.”

    By late afternoon, they grabbed churros and sat on a bench near the castle, watching kids in princess dresses chase bubbles.

    “I haven’t been here in years,” Sienna said, biting into her churro. “Feels weird being here without a camera crew.”

    Noah nodded. “Yeah, but also… kinda nice just being regular for a day.”

    As night fell and the fireworks lit up the sky, they stood in the crowd, shoulder to shoulder, watching the lights reflect off the castle.

    “You know,” Sienna said quietly, “this whole post-movie life isn’t so bad.”
