From the resorts and theme parks to merchandising and technological innovations, Disney continues to grow in leaps and bounds in the world of entertainment…and beyond. Walt’s imagination knew no bounds, and to answer our earlier question, it’s probably safe to say that he could have foreseen the wonders that the company would continue to create. He surely would have embraced every new challenge and opportunity that presented itself to him, such as computer advances, the explosion of the Internet, or the world of in-home video games. Walt was a dreamer and innovator at heart, and he was always among the first (if not the very first) to take advantage of the latest and greatest advancements to entertain audiences. From the multi- plane camera to the new-fangled medium of television, Walt always recognized the “next big thing,” and often times was responsible for the creation of the next big thing himself. We can only imagine what he would have accomplished had he been able to bring his latest dreams to life. One of the greatest accomplishments of Walt’s career was the creation of Imagineering, or more specifically, his ability to bring out the very best in people and to create a working environment where the motto “if you can dream it, you can do it” (a phrase that was coined for Horizons by Imagineer Tom Fitzgerald, though frequently misattributed to Walt himself) is not just a slogan, but a way of life. Today’s Imagineers continue to carry on Walt’s vision, and though Walt isn’t with us any more, his spirit remains in all of those who have been inspired by his unique vision. We can only guess as to what the future will bring! Enjoy the magic!

As part of our 40th wedding anniversary celebration, we wanted to recreate a picture that was taken on our Letters honeymoon in May 1974. We were able to locate the spot in front of the Main Street Confectionery where the infamous yellow-clad honeymooners posed 40 years ago. Through the years we have returned many times with our children and now with our grandchildren to the happiest place on earth. Here’s to 40 more! Jim & Catherine Priest Best Friends I thought this picture was so adorable I thought of sharing it with you. My little dog Minnie was in the window with our Mickey Mouse and she was leaning on him. She can get into some trouble sometimes,but who can be mad at her? Ashley Zerilli This is a Mickey That Really Brings Happiness! Erin, a Therapy Dog who volunteers at the hospital where I work has a Hidden Mickey. This brings much joy to the kids (and other Disney fans) at the hospital!
