Today is Catherine O’Hara’s birthday. O’Hara was part of the
cast of SCTV, the mother on Home Alone and was in A Series of Unfortunate Events. For our
purposes, she was the voice of Tina in Chicken
Little, the voice of Kata in Brother
Bear 2 and the voice of Sally in The
Nightmare Before Christmas. Go ride the Haunted Mansion and visit the cart
outside the exit where you can buy Jack and Sally stuff all the time.
Today is Hug A GI Day. Find a GI and give them a hug or let
them know in some way that you care about and appreciate them. At the Magic
Kingdom, this would be a good day to observe or take part in the Flag Retreat
that takes place every afternoon. We talked about it in an earlier blog, I
believe November 11, Veteran’s Day. Check it out and check it out.
When inauguration day was held in March, March 4th

date:

On this date in 1782, Johann Wyss was born. Wyss wrote Swiss Family Robinson which Walt based
the movie on. When my son was little, one of his favorite things at the Magic
Kingdom was the Swiss Family Robinson Tree House. It’s a lot of climbing but
it’s fun, especially for kids. Go and have fun.

Welcome in and please eat.
They saved a lot of stuff from that ship.
Remember, your best excuse is always: waiting for your
dreams to come true.
