When You Wish Upon A Star….
For years now…oh, and we mean MANY years, (over 40), we’ve been blessed with the ability to go to the fabulous magical land of Disney World in Lake Buena Vista Florida.
Our family was even among the very first to ever grace the grounds in their inaugural year. We certainly adopt all of the fascinations, childlike nuances, and excitement every time we go back. Heck, we even moved to Orlando just so we could become Annual Pass Holders.
The sheer joy of watching a child’s expression when they experience it for the first time is something that fills your heart with glee. It is addictive, and we believe that it allows us as adults to be reminded that dreams can come true, great stories can transform, and the imagination can take us as far as we allow it to go. ….magical indeed.
Think back to when Walt Disney was buying up literal swampland back in the sixties with the belief that he could take his idea and create a World of Magic. Take a sheer blank canvas of swampland in the middle of Florida, and create a Paradise on Earth. An idea, and a belief that it could be done.
Walt Disney World is more than an escape; it is an extension of someone’s belief that you can create something so powerful, & innovative that it becomes infectious. It is a symbol of what is possible when we stretch our limits, ideas, imaginations, and even beliefs. The knowledge that one location has brought billions of people, from all walks of life, is truly unbelievable.
We so grateful for his insight, intuition, and, quite possibly, spiritual intervention that touched him with such a thought. Plus the fortitude, willpower, dedication and desire to make the new existence possible. WOW.
Not many times you see such an impact in the world, in such a positive manner. It certainly gives us all something to strive for.
As avid travelers, dreamers, entrepreneurs, and adventurers, we draw so much inspiration and happiness every time we travel back to Lake Buena Vista. There’s a newfound treasure each time, and just like our lives, it’s a wonderful work in progress. Constantly growing, adapting, and changing to meet the new world around us. A beautiful chaos, that is actually a wonderfully, well run machine.
It’s just so amazing to be among so many other people experiencing a common goal…trying to grab a bit of magic.
We hope we are always Disney kids at heart and truly wish that everyone at least one time in their lives can experience the lightning in a bottle that exists at Walt Disney World.
Believe.
Happy Holiday Rising
