As a little kid in California living near @disneyland, I’d lay on the floor watching the TV ads for the much bigger @waltdisneyworld while watching the Sunday-night duo of The Love Boat and “Fantasy Island” (I had a crush on Julie the cruise director) and told myself that when I grew up I would move to Florida so I could go to Walt Disney World whenever I wanted.
I ended up in Florida by chance rather than intention 23 years ago, and, well, I’ve had an annual pass for at least the last ten of those years (even after the price for one nearly doubled post-COVID). At the end of September I’ll be living just a little bit closer. Moving from Plant City, Florida to Cagan Crossings on September 29th. That purple shaded area? Walt Disney World.
Follow your dreams, kids. ð
