Disney has the power to trigger so many emotions, and it can just as easily bring a tear of nostalgic memory to your eye as it can bring a yelp of exhilaration. But there’s something else that Disney often brings to life, and that’s the creative spirit that lives in each and every one of us. The parks and resorts are filled with wondrous works of art…and by art we just don’t mean paintings, but music, theater, architecture, and storytelling, just to name a few. Not only do all of these elements add a whole new layer of magic to the Disney experience, but they can often inspire us to tap into our inner artist…or at least to imagine would it be like to bring these dreams to life. Best of all, Walt Disney World offers us plenty of opportunities to unleash our inner Rembrandts or Beethovens. As you’ll see later in this issue, you can participate in “classes” and create your very own works of Disney art. You can create music with the wave of your hand at the Imagination pavilion, and even be a part of the show and show off your acting chops at Enchanted Tales With Belle or with the World Showcase Players. Or, if you prefer, you can sit back and marvel at all of the wonderful works of art that surround you. You may not immediately think of Disney as a place to appreciate the arts, but art is everywhere to be found. At the resorts you’ll find beautiful paintings, tapestries, and murals, and in the parks, take note of the amazing craftsmanship that goes into creating these different worlds that we can explore. Sure, sometimes that means an obvious painting (Haunted Mansion anyone?), but that same creativity can be seen in the architecture, signage, and even the costumes worn by Cast Members. And of course all of this was inspired by a collection of animated classics that elevated simple cartoon to a whole new art. And who knows, a visit to Walt Disney World may even inspire you to draw your favorite character, paint a beautiful watercolor landscape, learn to play your favorite Disney song on the family piano, or even craft your own story. Inspiration can come from anywhere, so the next time you visit, open up your creative spirit and let the inner artist in you come alive! Enjoy the magic!
