Reflections

You couldn't smack the smile off my face this morning! Memories flooded my brain as I thought of all my trips to Disney World growing up and all the time spent working here. As the Disney shuttle passed the Wide World of Sports Complex it also occurred to me that not only had I been here but my little Honda back in LA, which has seen the snows of Syracuse and Buffalo, as also been down here. It dawned on me all of a sudden everything I have done so far....and I'm only getting started.

Before even leaving the Orlando terminal I smell the fragrant air and instantly am comforted by the humid moisture in the air.

I started my vacation with wandering as I often did when I worked here. It would be a little while before my room was ready and hours til my parents get here. I started to trek to the Wilderness Lodge to have breakfast at Whispering Canyon Cafe.

The boat ride from the Magic Kingdom nearly lulled me to sleep with its gentle rocking and warm sun shining down. Looking around I realize the diversity of bird life in Bay Lake.

After a delightful breakfast I wandered to Downtown Disney, briefly, as my room became ready and I was ready to settle in and stop carrying my backpack.

I love it here- a smile resides in my heart while I'm here, and momentarily I suspend reality.
