On this day in history, the happiest place on earth held its opening day, forever impacting the lives of millions of people. Today, it is the most visited vacation resort in the world.
Although I can't remember my first trip to Disney World (my memory is awful), I bet it was life changing. So life changing, in fact, that my parents took me every year. Each year was just as magical as the one before it. I do recall this one year in which I refused to leave to park until I got the signatures of EVERY one of my favorite characters in the overpriced signature book I made my parents buy from one of the gift shops. I'm sure they were thrilled. Obviously, that place made me feel some type of way.
I had the chance to visit again a couple years ago. Having grown up, and no longer being a kid, I was able to see it from a different perspective. I watched as children from all over experienced what looked like the best days of their lives. The expressions of pure joy and happiness were present in each of them.
Needless to say, Disney has effected the lives of children all over the world for the better. Allowing them to escape to a whole new world, know what it's like to be part of that world, and feel the love it has to offer.
