I guess it's because I'm usually traveling solo, and these parks seem to lend themselves more to groups (or at least one other person). However, next time I will! Thanks for linking up last week, and sorry I have been so slow in getting around.

We never did the cruise, though. My girls are huge fans! Have you ever been to the Disney Family Museum in San Francisco? It tells the story of Walt Disney. It's great!

What I don't like so much is the relentless merchandising - but hey, those profits are what fund the ongoing creativity, so I accept that too.

It was built in about the 60s I think and it was fascinating to see what the designers thought the future would hold and compare it to the present day. They weren't too far off the mark so you better get used to the idea of angular, tight fitting clothes - lol.The Travelling Lindfieldshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06913037078617574735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054224870283073737.post-72564749181034950382015-05-24T16:32:37.799-05:002015-05-24T16:32:37.799-05:00Who knew that Disney would be so thought provoking...Who knew that Disney would be so thought provoking - I never really thought about Disney like this - I never watched much TV or visited adventure parks as a child, and so perhaps that is why.

There was about a year of fascination with Cars, but my kids never got into Princesses, Toy Story, or even Star Wars enough for us to have a lot of those toys. We didn't have cable when they were little, so we never got into the Disney Channel either. That's why I think it's kind of strange we love the parks so much.Michele {Malaysian Meanders}https://www.blogger.com/profile/18313351463568423694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054224870283073737.post-63851869298917042132015-05-24T15:13:21.376-05:002015-05-24T15:13:21.376-05:00I would LOVE to do a Disney Adventures tour.

But the reason it's soooo profitable is that it does what it does very well. I don't think profitability and genuine creativity have to be mutually exclusive. And I really enjoy Disney animation as well as the creativity that goes into the theme parks and hotels. Hope you enjoy the movie!eileen ghttp://www.familiesgotravel.com/2015/05/weekend-travel-inspiration-6-petite-paris-things-kids-love/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7054224870283073737.post-6447863436824050132015-05-23T21:16:12.911-05:002015-05-23T21:16:12.911-05:00Funny, I never knew that EPCOT stands for "Ex...Funny, I never knew that EPCOT stands for "Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow."

I remember wanting to move there when I first heard about a community master-planned by Disney.

It has been more than a decade since the last time I was inside Magic Kingdom and Epcot (although I'm always in the area for work) and I still remember the magic feeling that its fantasy and it genius generates. I certainly love the amazing creativity. My recent connection with Disney was acquiring properties for my company in Celebration, Florida - a master-planned community created by Disney. I think it's the most residential area I've seen in Orlando area. The company have divested most of its control of the town but its vision is still very much evident. It seems like whatever Disney touched is magic.

It really is amazing how innovative Walt was for his time and I'm so glad the Imagineers have stayed true to his visions. We are also looking forward to seeing the Tomorrowland movie. It was also great to see one of my favorite rides, Journey to the Center of the Earth, make an appearance here. Mary {The World IS A Book}http://www.theworldisabook.comnoreply@blogger.com
