January 4, 2013: Spasketti...

School started back yesterday. It was a rather uneventful day and today we get back to full speed. We are now three days into the third nine weeks and everything looks fine.

January 4, 1905, Sterling Holloway was born in Cedartown, GA. Sterling did a bit of work for Disney including: Mr. Stork in Dumbo, Flower in Bambi, Professor Holloway in The Three Caballeros, Kaa in The Jungle Book and, lest we forget, he was the original voice of Winnie The Pooh. So let’s do a double header to celebrate without even leaving Fantasyland. Honor Sterling by riding the Winnie the Pooh ride and Dumbo. You’ll be glad you did.

It’s National Spaghetti Day. My son, Matt, loves Italian Food and no trip is complete without stopping at an Italian restaurant and getting some good pasta. We’ve already talked about how much we love Corleone’s in Savannah, GA but don’t forget Tony’s. While we’re at the Magic Kingdom, let’s getting some spaghetti at Tony’s. I like mine with the big Italian sausage on top. Mmmmmmmmm.

It’s also National Trivia Day. Come on, celebrate it; it’s what we do here every day. Let me tell you something that you might not think about, go to any Disney Park and strike up a conversation, ask questions, you WILL learn. Cast members know their stuff, many visitors know their stuff, people come here again and again because it is more than just attractions, it’s the story as well.

Remember, your best excuse is always: waiting for your dreams to come true.
