Probably everyone who visits Walt Disney World has a favorite “icon”: that one structure, building, or sign that just warms your heart and tells you that yes, you are back in that magical place you love. For many it is probably Cinderella’s Castle.
For me it is the stunning beauty of Spaceship Earth that tells me that I am home at last.
There is something about Disney’s Boardwalk that makes me think fun, and summer, and beach…. Of course that’s what it is supposed to do! Like any self-respecting boardwalk, it’s a great place to find fun and food, or take a stroll and people watch. Or do them all……
One of the things that I really love at Disney’s Beach Club is this little sitting room, tucked away off to the side, on the way to the Beach Club Villas. A sunny, tranquil setting, it’s a great spot to relax peacefully with a cup of coffee and the morning paper…or have an evening chat with a friend. Just goes to show, some of the best things about Walt Disney World are not found in the parks.
In honor of Independence Day, there are several places at Walt Disney World where you can patriotically celebrate the good ole’ USA. Hall of Presidents in the Magic Kingdom is one. Another is at the American Adventure in Epcot’s World Showcase. While you are there, watch out for this fine gentleman and his friends, and you will get a great demonstration of what it means to be a Yankee Doodle Dandy. Have a wonderful Fourth of July!
Take the time, when visiting any of the parks at Walt Disney World, to see the beauty all around. This image from Disney’s Animal Kingdom, showing both the iconic Tree of Life and Expedition Everest in the distance, provides a peaceful and lovely view of a fascinating park.
