I am listening to the soundtrack to Wishes as I
write this blog. I know things have to change and Wishes was not the fireworks
show at The Magic Kingdom on our first trip but I dread the day they change
this show. If we don’t have a trip planned when they announce it’s final
countdown, I will have to get one planned in a hurry. Wishes is required
viewing for every trip. Sometimes we see Tinker Bell and sometimes we don’t. On
our last trip we had hurricane weather for a couple of days and high winds for
the entire trip so we missed Tink that time but that’s not what really makes
the show for me. What kills me about Wishes is when the small child very
quietly sings, ”… and all our wishes, will come true.” I guess I’ve got
something missing or perhaps a little something extra in my brain because I
really believe that we can change the world for the better simply because we
want to. Never give up on your wishes and always hold on to your dreams.
January 27, 1832: Charles Lutwidge Dodgson was
born in Daresbury, Cheshire, England. Dodgson was a mathematician, photographer
and church deacon. Oh, and he also wrote a couple of stories that you might be
familiar with, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the
Looking-Glass. Happy Birthday Lewis Carroll. Now, get over to the Magic
Kingdom and have a magical moment with Alice and the Mad Hatter whether it is
your birthday or your un-birthday.
We love EPCOT and whether it’s just a regular
day or a Food and Wine Festival Day, we love Remy, the little chef rat from Ratatouille.
On this day in 1969 comedian,
actor and writer Patton Oswalt - the voice of Remy in Disney/Pixar's
2007 Ratatouille - is born in Portsmouth, Virginia. So,
visit the World Showcase and the France Pavilion and you may just run into Remy
(especially at Monsieur Paul).
It’s National Chocolate Cake Day. I am diabetic
and allergic to peanuts. What does that mean? It means that my kids are jealous
of me at Walt Disney World because the chef visits our table when we dine and I
get custom desserts. Very often my desserts are portable and wrapped so I can
take them with me for later. Very often they are chocolate chip cookies or
chocolate cake. Who knew a peanut allergy could be a blessing. You might not
have a peanut allergy but the chefs at Walt Disney World will accommodate any
need you have from a vegan diet to a gluten free menu. Just ask. You have not
because you ask not.
On our first trip to Walt Disney World in July
2001, one of our favorite shows was the Tarzan show. Skate boarders, acrobats
and a rockin’ band it was awesome. Now I have already said that I hate change
but I think that Finding Nemo: The Musical is in the spot that Tarzan was in
(correct me if I’m wrong), so we traded one thing we loved for another. Tarzan of the Apes, the first Tarzan
film premiered at the Broadway Theater on this date in 1918. You can still find
Turk around the Animal Kingdom so all is not lost. Is this water sanitary?
Remember, your best excuse is always: waiting
for your dreams to come true.
