*aww now I gotta put my pen away again....

Every year that I can afford to - I take the family, pack the car and drive the 2016 miles (thats about 3220kms for us Canadian folk
) to Walt Disney World for December - just to remove us from the chaos of the world today and try to live a piece of happiness... (then drive that all the way home when it ends... its a long drive home...)
And everytime I walk down Main Street, looking at the big Castle, I become 16 all over again - ready to ride Space Mountain, ready to see Mickeys ToonTown, and ready to sail off to adventure on Pirates
I understand that Disney has to keep making money, the shareholders demand it - business commands it... but they more than any other company have to look at what they are delivering - a vision, a dream, a world where there is no pain, no suffering and everyday starts with joy.
I would hope that in such a world, this vision of what they represent is not lost. The challenge is double for them - be a business, bring dreams to life... the two usually don't mix in the world we live in today.
I'm critical of them at times, but not because I'm a cranky old guy (I don't believe), not because hex is that important or that KingsHead should have the fence... quiet the opposite actually
I do it because I know there are many kids who play their worlds which they create, live their fantasys, and by-gosh I want them to get it right... I want kids to have fun and NOT struggle as much as I have both in the real world - and this one we live in which is POTCO
I do this so when my daughter gets older and moves on with her life she also strives to hold onto a piece of that dream, the world which we strive for can come true if we all including Disney work at it...
... and maybe she will return with her children to continue living the dream - I can only hope
... and I'm so jealous of that kids room at the moment LOL
