That Disney magic… like you, not sure how it works. But it works for all ages. My wife and I went the Disney for our honeymoon – she’d never been and had always wanted to. It was amazing (and heartwarming) to see my 20-something wife crying happily when she got to hug Mickey “for real.”

LOL .. as soon as I read "Chip (or Dale)" I knew that someone would comment about the nose color.

It is also so nice to see that along with reading her safety card, her mom and dad bought her a seat and used a car seat! Proud pop of twins…..

Definitely Chip – Dale has a red nose. Which might explain his behavior.

Your Disney post inspires me, just like Disney does. I visit the Orlando Disney quite often. My girlfriends' sister is actually a cast member - so she might have been one of those characters that made Carolyn smile! (We also get free admission to the parks, etc.) You're right about the magic. It's not just for kids, heavens no. Everyone - all ages - can take something back from that experience. The entire area is magical. Even the entire Lake Buena Vista grounds hold some kind of "vibe." It's really a great place to be. We were even in the area for one of the Hurricanes! We survived, thankfully.. Here are some of my Disney topics, from my blog:

Thanks for letting me share this "Disney moment."

That’s so cute… You know, before a couple of years ago, I’d've read that and thought “gosh, what an intelligent child… what’s for dinner?” But now, I look at it and I think — well, I think: “That’s so cute…” I guess that’s what happens when you accidentally develop a slight case of step-daughter and a rapidly expanding dose of Spousus Pregnantius leading inevitably to the promise of insomnia and parental smittentude. It’s terminal, but at least it’ll take a long time to kill me…

You’re giving good habits to your child : She’s already reading security manuals!

Eh! Here is the future of computing. Everyone is sympathical as Mickey, but bether see danger before ;)

Sorry my bad French.

You are so right about the Disney Magic. I remember the first time I took my (now) wife to Disneyland Paris. The look of wonder, joy, amazement and shock on her face as we walked down Main Street USA was a wondeful thing, escepcially coming from a grown woman.

It’s good to know that in the cynical world in which we live, there are still things and places that can elicit this kind of reaction.
