Hey Paul, I love this piece from you. It brings back some of the happiest memories I have from childhood. So much fun, laughter and screaming (on the fast rides). I love this. Thank you for sharing it. Be Blessed, Neva

Every time I go to these fun parks I tell myself that I'll take it easy, walk around, have a drink and watch the others having fun. Somehow my plans fall apart and I get dragged into participation:)

Lovely Senryu, Paul. Reminds me of the look on my daughter's face when she was ten years old arriving on Main Street at DisneyWorld's Magic Kingdom for the first time. And, though she won't admit it, my good lady.

I saw the same look on my granddaughter's face this summer when we went to Paris Disneyland!! It was her dream come true! Thank you for a lovely visit, Viv. // paul
