October 12, 1492, Columbus sailed the ocean blue.
Even though Columbus was not the first to find the Americas it was his voyage
that led to the European migration to the new world. Columbus had some bad
information, he thought the Earth was considerably smaller than it actually was
but he knew it was round. When he reached the West Indies, he thought he had
travelled far enough to reach the Indies. Okay, whatever worked. Columbus was
Italian so lets visit the Italy Pavilion at EPCOT and celebrate.
Today is National Family Bowling Day and there is
now bowling at Walt Disney World. Splitsville at Downtown Disney (soon to be
Disney Springs) is a luxury, modern bowling and dining destination. Strike out
for Downtown Disney and use up some of your spare time.
On this date in 1823, Charles Macintosh of Scotland
begins selling his raincoats. Macintosh started out as a clerk but he left his
position to devote himself full time to science. He was very successful and it
was his work with chemicals, in particular naphtha that led to him producing
raincoats by cementing layers of rubber. School children all over the planet
wear their macs to school on rainy days and we were ponchos and other rain gear
often when we are at Walt Disney World. Everyone knows you don’t leave WDW when
it rains, that’s often the best time to be there.
Remember, your best excuse is always: waiting for
your dreams to come true.
