Lou... 3,118 Posted April 17, 2012 Report Share Posted April 17, 2012 The rest of that sentence is, to feel the magic that is WDW.I guess this rant would fall under the warm and fuzzy side as opposed to the usual Snarky side.I'm so fortunate to be in the position I'm in. I'm actually retired and I get to select how much or how little I work and even the days I work. But work is too strong a word for what I do and where I do it on average of four days a week.Today, while at lunch at one of the CM cafeterias, I thought, I miss the MK even though I was right there, in the middle of MK, but it felt like I had been far away for too long.Being there all the time, you become callused and forget where you are.I instantly got up and instead of walking back to the the bus area the way I normally do, which is by Tony's Town Square restaurant, I decided to exit by the Fire House side.I walked about half way, stopped, and just looked up Main St. towards the castle for a few minutes. The castle at the opposite end never looked more beautiful.That's all it took, I was OK after that.

DaveInTN 3,247 Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Even though I've been to the MK many times, that magical moment when you enter the park and look up the street at the castle never gets old. On our last trip, we were able to visit the park unexpectedly, and this big dope had tears in his eyes when the rope drop show ended. And then when we saw Main Street, I felt a joyous calm come over me. I was in my happy place. BradyBzLyn...Mo and Momof6....aka Marty 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That sounds nothing like Lou. :)Good catch.In the past, Lou has explained away these warm and fuzzy episodes by blaming them on a change in his medication.Maybe Gail is away, and Lou took all his happy pills at once?TCD Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Retired & Tired (Judy) 90 Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 I always love the view of the castle as we head down Main Street. And it is one of the last things I look back at on our way out. None of the other parks give me that same feeling. Lou it is good to know you still have a soft spot in that Snarky heart.....lolBut I know the real Lou and I can be bought to keep it a secret. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kampfirekim 260 Posted April 18, 2012 Report Share Posted April 18, 2012 Lou, that was my favorite post ever!!! :heart:(I've always known you were warm and fuzzy.. didn't have me fooled for a second!) :) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roller ... aka Ed 351 Posted April 19, 2012 Report Share Posted April 19, 2012 First this and now a, "It's going to be a great, big beautiful tommorow" post on the 'I am ...' thread. Lou must have overdosed on Disney (or happy pills). Lou has been reduced to begging people to lower his reputation in an attempt to raise his 'Street Cred'. Don't fall for it - Lou is a softy.

disneylitch......Debbie 60 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 I agree, I love looking down Main Street. It gives you that warm and fuzzy feeling. Magic Kingdom is still my favorite park. I could go there everyday and never get tired of it. On our last day at The Fort, I always make sure MK is the last park we visit and I sit in the back of the boat so I can continue to look at it. Can't wait until our September visit.Lou, you are very lucky to be surrounded by the Magic of Disney!!! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TnBob 311 Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Lou, what have you DONE! You are a disgrace to the fraternal order of Curmudgeons! What were you thinking? :banghead: :484grumpy11: :sad-emoticon-msn: Quote Link to post Share on other sites
