This has been a remarkable Thanksgiving. It is so nice to be
talking about a wonderful, relaxing week. Today was the third day of us meeting
with various portions of our family and, on top of that, one of our cousins has
posted a huge number of pictures from years and years ago including an early
70’s trip to Walt Disney World by part of his family. We’ll share some of those
as time travels on.
Let’s give you a couple of excuses before time passes you
by.
First, an infamous occurrence that built a folk hero. On
this date in 1971, DB Cooper parachuted from a Northwest Airlines 727 with
$200,000 in cash and was never heard from again. There have been reported
sightings and much speculation about who DB Cooper actually was but he remains
an historic enigma. In memorial to flying more safely than DB Cooper and that
fateful Northwest 727, make your way to EPCOT and ride Soarin’. Soarin’ is
required for every trip we make to WDW and we get fast passes the second we
enter EPCOT. In fact, we have never stood in the regular line for Soarin’ but,
if you do, there is a game you can play that makes the wait more pleasurable.
We often tell people that waiting in line at WDW is more fun than the rides at
many other parks.
Our other excuse today is to the almost famous. On this date in 1941, Pete Best was born.
Pete was a drummer with a little band you may have heard of, The Beatles. Pete
was replaced just before they got their big break and reached the “topper most
of the popper most.” With a slight stutter in between the Beatles settled on
Ringo Starr and the rest is history. Since you’re already at EPCOT, get over
the United Kingdom pavilion and check out the British Invasion tribute band,
the British Revolution.
Remember, your best excuse is always: waiting for your
dreams to come true.
