Jonathan Taylor Thomas was born on this day in
1981 in Bethlehem, Pennsylvania. Most famous as Randy Taylor on Home Improvement, Thomas has a number of
Disney roles but probably most immediately recognized as Young Simba in The Lion King. Let’s head over to The
Animal Kingdom and enjoy The Festival of the Lion King in honor of Thomas.
One of my all-time favorite Disney movies is Sky High. I’m a sucker for the, “anyone
can be a superhero,” storyline. Jake Sandvig was born on this date in 1986 in
Clovis, California. Sandvig starred as Lash, a hero/villain, who had the
ability to stretch. You can be a hero too by working with Merlin at The
Sorcerers of the Magic Kingdom.
On of my heroes is Ernest Hemingway and visiting
his home in Key West, Florida in 2008 is one of my prized moments. On this date
in 1952, Hemingway’s Old Man & The
Sea was published. The book is a very short story that details a fisherman’s
isolated journey trying to land a fish in the waters around Cuba. The impact of
the novel led directly to Hemingway earning the Nobel Prize in Literature.
Honor Hemingway by visiting The Writer’s Stop at Disney’s Hollywood Studios
and, while you’re there, try a Carrot Cake Cookie, arguably the best snack at
Walt Disney World.
Turkey Leg and Carrot Cake Cookie. Strolling food tastes better.

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