All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them. ~ Walt Disney
I’m on my way home after spending a week at Disney World, celebrating birthdays and family. Disney World isn’t exactly my type of habitat. Deserts and prairies are more my style. But I have to admit that a visit exploring the Magic Kingdom, Epcot, and Animal Kingdom is an eye-opening experience.
I kept imagining the working mind of Walt Disney as he created the first Disneyland in 1954. His idea of having a theme park with five different lands – Main Street, Fantasy Land, Adventure Land, Tomorrow Land, and Frontier Land — for families to enjoy and explore still has an amazing appeal.
A Florida Disneyland was a twinkle in Walt Disney’s eye when he died in 1966; his brother Roy completed the dream and Walt Disney World opened in 1971. There isn’t a space that doesn’t hold a bit of magic, a surprise, or a moment that makes one smile remembering the memories of the early world of Disney.

About Bo Mackison
A far cry from your usual haunts, but looks very appealing nonetheless. Hope you enjoyed.
Yes, indeed. But surprisingly, I had a grand time taking photos of the unusual and even the “Kodak” spots were intriguing in a way.
It was a great challenge using only a point and shoot, but my shoulder is most grateful for a ten plus day reprieve from the big camera!
Sometimes a change of scenery can be just what the heart and mind need. Seems like you managed a magical adventure. 🙂
Magical? Oh yes! And it was such a treat to have a girls week out… such wonderful memories.
It truly is someone’s dream made real. Inspiring for all of us! Love the angle of your photo. A perfect disney ‘mirage’!
Part of the Disney Magic is the people watching. About once every 10-12 years seems a good dose for me! LOL.
