I just recently came home from an Alaskan Cruise. But not just any cruise, a Disney cruise... I was all packed; I brought my warm undershirts, lots of layers, camera and my cynical, "Disney is cheesy and just for kids" attitude. I could not have been more wrong.
Disney is Magic. The basis of what the brand has created is built on dreams, not silly I want to be a millionaire without working dreams but life dreams. What this brand stands for is the belief that if you wish upon a star, it makes no difference who you are! What a statement. There were a number of things about the experience that I will always take with me, but not the least of which was watching my son (4 years old) jumping out of his seat in pure joy while watching the performers sing a song from The Lion King. His elation was so real, so raw it was inspiring.
As if this was not enough, to close the show the cruise director stood onstage and told us his story getting hired as a DJ and dreaming to one day be a cruise director, and there he was, living his dream.
I urge you, dream, don't stop because you are "too old," dare to dream. It's scary, I know, but when it seems to hard to dream remember this, "If your heart is in your dream, no request is too extreme."
Thank you Disney for keeping our dreams alive.
