It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.” That sentiment still holds true today, as Disney’s Imagineers continue to dream of and create new experiences to send our imaginations spinning. The recent additions of Frozen Ever After and Soarin’ Around the World are testaments to that ideal, but change at Walt Disney World isn’t limited to the grand openings of new attractions and resorts. In fact, every time you go to Walt Disney World, you’ll always discover something new. Even if it’s not a new attraction or even a major refurbishment of an existing one, the worlds you’ll explore at Disney are ever changing. The magical part is that you’ll often be unaware of these changes, and when you discover them it will come as a pleasant surprise. Perhaps it’s a brand new Hidden Mickey in your favorite attraction. Or a new sign or painting in a park or resort. Perhaps it will be a yummy new snack, or a new souvenir you’ve never seen before. On a grander scale, don’t be surprised of you come upon a significant change or addition to your favorite attraction. Often times these changes fly “under the radar,” unlike the fanfare that accompanies the grand openings of a new attraction or show. For example, many Guests, even regulars, were surprised to find that the film at the end of Mexico’s Gran Fiesta Tour had been quietly replaced by Animatronic figures of the Three Caballeros. Unless you routinely scour message boards and the like for the latest and greatest information and rumors, changes like this are often a welcome surprise…not only in the thrill of discovering something new, but with the realization that you’re in a world where you’ll never know what happens next. Imagination is always in full bloom at Walt Disney World, and the wonders that await us tomorrow are living proof that Walt Disney’s original dream is alive and well…and continues to this day. Enjoy the magic!

Last year, in my Drawing 2 class, we were asked to make a collage out of a magazine. Since Disney is such a big part of my life, I knew what magazine I was going to choose. As much as it pained me to do so, I decided to use Celebrations as my magazine of choice, cutting it up to rearrange the images. We used the collages as reference to create a colored pencil drawing. I thought you might want to see the final product. You may recognize the images from issue #24. I was able to finish the project on time, despite my teacher’s concerns. Some areas I had to rush through, especially the briar patch area, but hopefully I’ll find time to go back and add more detail later. Thank you so much for creating such a wonderful magazine!
