Why are we such dedicated
Disney fans? A lot has to do with our childhood memories.
This
was the "before television " age, when reading and movies were the
entertainment of the day.
Movies: Dick's mother took him
to see Disney's animated full length movie, Fantasia, when it first
came out, and he still remembers the experience.
Books & Comics: Jackie loved
to read Disney's well illustrated books. Walt produced lots of
great books and comics with classic stories illustrated as only
Disney could.
The creativity and imagination
is something to remember. When we were young, we looked forward to
seeing Disney cartoons and full length movies at the theatre, and
many of Disney's characters and stories are ingrained in our
memories. We both had quite a collection of Disney books and comics.
(Why didn't we keep them?)
Now we can visit Walt
Disney World or Disneyland and relive many of those early memories,
and form many new ones - and enjoy the imagination and creativity
while we do!
