A Salute to Walt Disney

Someone mention "amusement parks"?   My mental playback mode is not big enough to retrieve the many wonderful moments spent inside one!  So, I will just leave this photo  here....for this is where it all began! (Photo taken at Disneyland 1955...my first adventure there!)

     I am in awe  of you Mr. Disney. Your creative genious has created more joy in the hearts of people than any other known man made entity!  The sights, the smells, the themes of adventure, hope, friendship, and excitement all woven into a days experience....who could forget a visit to your wonderful place!

 

So, there I was....age 5, ...no mortgage to worry about, no credit card debt, never been love sick, just....a little scared about being alone in the dark.......Funny, No matter what part of life you are in....when you visit Disney....you feel just like that kid!

      Its a small world afterall...............its a small, small world!     Peace & Joy!

They say it is the happiest place in the world! I spent almost every summer there as a kid. I have the BEST memories....summer vacation on the beach in San Diego and then a couple days at Disney Land. I even went there for my honeymoon!!!

I discovered your journal through several of my friend's journals and have enjoyed reading the past entries.  You are a creative talented writer who shares his true passions and emotions. You have a beautiful family and are very blessed. Thank you for sharing and making me stop and think and appreciate all the things I have to be thankful for. Also thank you for making me laugh!! There is healing in laughter.  I look forward to reading future entries.

It is a small world, isn't it Marc?  I marched in the band at Walt Disney World, right down Main Street of the Magic Kingdom.  It was magical each and every time.  Thanks for bringing a cheesy grin to my face as I mentally march once down Main Street.  What fun it was!
Best,
Judith
