Christmas at Disney

I spent Christmas at Disney. It's kind of like having Christmas in April - too warm for winter, but not blistering either. They definitely know how to deck the halls, and the lines weren't terrible (though we went to Magic Kingdom on the 23rd - they ended up shutting the entrances Christmas Day because they hit capacity).

“So we dream on. Thus we invent our lives. We give ourselves a sainted mother, we make our father a hero; and someone’s older brother and someone’s older sister – they become our heroes too. We invent what we love and what we fear. There is always a brave lost brother – and a little lost sister, too. We dream on and on: the best hotel, the perfect family, the resort life. And our dreams escape us almost as vividly as we can imagine them… That’s what happens, like it or not. And because that’s what happens, this is what we need: we need a good, smart bear… Coach Bob knew it all along: you’ve got to get obsessed and stay obsessed. You have to keep passing the open windows.”
