Six Words: wonder, blow, me, world, feature, coalition
For anyone’s first visit, Disney World blows them away. It had that effect on me the first time we went there with our four children. It has done it again the twelve times that I’ve been there since. I can’t even tell you which feature is my favorite, because there are so many. I don’t know if it is the Haunted Mansion, or It’s a Small World or even the big merry-go-round. Or Space Mountain. Or the World Showcase in Epcot, or what used to be called the Kodak Carousel of Progress. The thrill you get when Mickey or Minnie stand next to you never goes away, no matter your age. Just riding the monorail is exciting. Watching fireworks over Cinderella’s castle is the perfect way to end a day.
When Walt Disney envisioned this magical place, and put together a coalition of Imagineers, even he couldn’t have imagined what it has become and the wonder and joy it has brought to people all over the world. And to think, as Walt said, “it all started with a mouse.”
