Happiest Place on Earth

What they say in the commercials that Disney World is the happiest place on earth, they don't lie. I remember going to Disney as a kid and loving it, but that was a kid. I never though as a semi adult I would love it even more.

T and I went on  a Disney extravaganza after our cruise and before driving back to Atlanta- we did 3 parks in 17 hours. Yes, you read that right, 3 parks in one day- we went non stop from 10am to 1am- riding every ride we wanted and soaking in the goodness of Disney. We went to MGM, Animal Kingdom and of course the classic Magic Kingdom.

Either T and I got very lucky with our timing or it was a fluke, but we literally walked on to every single ride for the most part. The longest line we waited in was for about 10 minutes for the Tower of Terror- and even so, not bad compared to the hour long lines I remember waiting in as a kid.

There was one thing we both noticed- every single employee was happy to be there. Every person with a smile on their face, happy to see us. It was incredible, if everyone was that happy in my office all the time, someone would think we were all on drugs. But for some reason, it was genuine, everyone is just happy to work there and be apart of the Disney 'magic' as they say. And it dawned on me, I want to find a job at some point in my career that I am excited and beaming to go into work every day. Don't get me wrong, my job now is great- great people, very interesting work and an interesting client- but there is some piece missing, a piece of excitement- thrill and genuine love for what I am doing. This is something that comes with time, I believe, and comes with the search of learning about myself. But now I know I have something to strive to. I am striving to be as happy as the employees (or cast members as they like to call themselves) at Disney.

I have said it before, and I say it again, I just want to do something to make a difference and be happy- just the journey to get there has been interesting.

Peace, love and The place where dreams come true,
B
