Wednesday with Walt: Our Collective Tribute

Today is a different kind of “Wednesday with Walt” than my previous posts. Today is a day to acknowledge what an impact Walt Disney and his works have made in the lives of Disney fans like us. I can personally attest to the fact that I have experienced several important realizations about life while on my vacations to Walt Disney World. My life has been enriched in many ways because Walt was alive. Here are just a few of the things I’ve learned:

• There is no sweeter site than the look on a child’s face when he or she first sees Mickey Mouse or their favorite Disney character for the first time.
• The magic isn’t only in the scenes, sounds, and smells of Walt Disney World – but it’s in the love that lives inside the heart of the one who cared enough to take you there.
• It is possible for people from all over the world to become a community in a matter of minutes. I have learned this when getting soaked on Kali River Rapids with a family from Japan, and from going on an African safari with some hilarious Canadians. When you are sharing joy and laughter, it doesn’t even matter what language you speak – we are the same!
• Passion is a good thing. Spur of the moment decisions may not be the best kind to make in everyday life, but acting in the moment at Walt Disney World is a must.
• Rainy days are laced with sunshine. Riding Expedition Everest in pouring rain, while you and your family laugh hysterically at how silly you all look in your orange ponchos, is a memory that cannot be replaced.
• Disney vacations create little memory stores that seep out through the years. These bind the family forever.
• There is no greater love on earth than family. Spending my days at Disney with my family have been the most wonderful days of my life.

I have also discovered that optimism, hope for a better world, and caring for my fellow man is something that is very important to my daily life. When I think about Walt Disney, the humanitarian, it makes me feel like this world has a chance. Although he is no longer here, his work continues to affect the lives of millions of people every day.

Today, I want to hear from you about how Walt Disney and his work (movies, parks, quotes, etc.) have impacted your life. Please post your comments and, don’t hold back, it’s a tribute to the wonderful man he was. Thanks!
