Orlando

Experience is a powerful thing. When people talk of it, it mainly refers to work experience or other non-fun things like that, but what people don't tell you is that with experience comes the memories. Some are wonderful. Some are sad. However all are worth the "experience."

Hundreds upon thousands of people visit Walt Disney World every day, but few get the experience of living there. How many people do you know woke up to the sight of Cinderella's Castle, the Epcot ball, or Mickey's wizard hat every morning? They say not only is it the happiest place on earth, but also the most magical. Happy, well.... that's relative to the people you're with. And as for magical, that I do believe. There was one night I was walking across the park at 12am and was admiring the landscape and very smooth pavement as I dragged my feet home for the day. The very next day, as I entered the park around 6am, I found a whole new building that wasn't there before! We're talking indoor plumbing, fully functioning kitchen, the works! Where it came from, I will never know. Magic.

Too many of us lose that power to make believe whatever we wish to believe and I think the fact that a company out there still encourages us to do that is fantastic however they wish to do it. Granted, I did get to see the inside workings all the way down to the nitty-gritty that no one would EVER want to see, but I never lost sight of what they were trying to do. It was too incredible an idea to give up.

Not until I left did I realize that you really can do anything you want to. Sure, your parents always say that when you're a kid, but I never believed it. Did you? I do now. Tomorrow I think I'll be an astronaut....
