Happy Thoughts

A friend asked me today "What is your Disney Happy Thought?" What make you happiest at Disney?


I wasn't that sure at first whether that meant at Disney or in general. Hence the repeat of the statement. That was easy. The Castle. Wishes. But then I started thinking about it more. There are many, many happy thoughts that I have when I go to Disney. But the Castle is something I look for when I come over the overpass on 429. Now I could see it better before BLT was built but I still can find it. One happy thought I haven't had yet, is sharing it with that someone special. We are trying, but it's just not in the cards yet.


Some others that come to mind: the cast members that I have become friends with, driving under the gate when coming onto property, the music that makes part of streetmosphere, Main Street Electric Light Parade, the lightning bug from this parade, Cinderella's wishing well, sharing the magic with friends, rides that make me smile like POTC, HM, BTMRR (especially at night), RnR, Soarin', Illuminations, the exit song to Epcot, the Goodnight Kiss from the Castle, Cinderella's carrousel, dole whips, pink mickey mouse balloons... the little details in places where you don't quite expect them, people waving back when you wave and some of the resorts.

Flower and Garden Festival 2010

This year's Flower and Garden Festival is starting earlier this year, which also means it is ending earlier. The dates are 3rd March through 16th May. I am hoping to make a couple of the concerts this year on my weekends off. Also looking forward to just meander around World Showcase and maybe getting some new photos here and there. I like to watch some of the random demonstrations too and then the different kiosks that are there (looking forward to seeing Heather French and what new art she may have come up with). And end the evening watching Illuminations or a run to Magic Kingdom to see Wishes.
