Slow down, you might actually enjoy yourself more that you realize.


So many people rush here and rush there when visiting the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World.

The last time I was there I stopped to admire the mosaic inside Cinderella Castle and to take pictures of it.  Some guy yells to his wife and they hurriedly push a stroller with a girl between 6-7 years old somewhere... “great place to stop, what the hell is he looking at”.  In hindsight he was probably yelling at me, but it’s hard to kill my joy when I am in the Magic Kingdom, no matter how rude you are.

What I was looking at was Disney’s attention to detail and storytelling.  If people just slow down and enjoy the Magic Kingdom, they will notice things like the mosaic telling the story of Cinderella. But alas, they were probably in a rush to go sit on a sidewalk somewhere.
