Destination Disney ~ Quoting Walt Disney

Tweet

For this week’s Destination Disney in Quotes, we’re focusing on a famous quote from Walt Disney himself. 

Note he doesn't say Don't worry or It'll be alright. He had learned through his own struggles that sometimes we just have to stay strong and deal with whatever comes our way. 

Just last month I was reminded of this quote during Hurricane Sandy. There were power failures, long lines at the gas pump across the Atlantic coastline. The situation for many of us was and still is grim. I can only hope that we will look back on it and have learned life lessons to take forward. I know our family has learned a lot about ourselves already.

This week we're focusing on a quote from Walt Disney himself.

"Mickey Mouse popped out of my mind onto a drawing pad 20 years ago on a train ride from Manhattan to Hollywood at a time when business fortunes of my brother Roy and myself were at lowest ebb and disaster seemed right around the corner." Walt Disney 

What do you think would have happened had Walt Disney not acted on his doodling on the train that day? Do you think Mickey Mouse would have popped into his mind's eye another day?

"Don't think, and don't worry. If the time comes, you'll know what to do."~Mrs. Incredible

This quote made me think of the way I like to tour the parks, camera in hand and ready to snap. I rarely put my camera away because you just never know when a photo op will happen.
We were touring Disney Hollywood Studios Animation Building one day when all of a sudden out of nowhere FroZone appeared! It was the first time I'd ever seen him and I really wanted a picture for my character collection.   

Luckily I had my camera ready and quickly snapped a few as he dashed away.

Today we're focusing on a delightful quote from Mary Poppins and a bit of Disney trivia as well. 

"Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down" ~ Mary Poppins

The song and the lyrics have an interesting back story. Julie Andrews wasn't fully committed to the part of Mary Poppins originally. She did not like the song that was written for her, believing it did not have enough snap to it. The original song was called "The Eyes of Love". Walt Disney instructed the Sherman Brothers to come up with something more catchy.

Robert Sherman, the brilliant lyricist created a new song the following day with the help of his children. As he explained it, one evening after arriving home from work and while he and his wife Joyce were discussing the days events, she told him that the children had gotten their polio vaccines. His children recounted that it didn't hurt because the medicine was put on a cube of sugar and that they had swallowed it. The next morning he had the title of the song "A Spoonful of Sugar Helps the Medicine Go Down".

A Spoonful Of Sugar Lyrics 

Mary Poppins:

[Spoken]

In ev'ry job that must be done 

There is an element of fun 

You find the fun and snap! 

The job's a game

[Sung]

And ev'ry task you undertake

Becomes a piece of cake

A lark! A spree! It's very clear to see that

A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down

The medicine go down-wown

The medicine go down 

Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down

In a most delightful way

A robin feathering his nest

Has very little time to rest

While gathering his bits of twine and twig

Though quite intent in his pursuit

He has a merry tune to toot

He knows a song will move the job along - for

A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down

The medicine go down-wown

The medicine go down 

Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down

In a most delightful way

[Interlude]

The honey bee that fetch the nectar

From the flowers to the comb

Never tire of ever buzzing to and fro

Because they take a little nip

From ev'ry flower that they sip

And hence (And hence),

They find (They find)

Their task is not a grind.

Ah-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h ah!

A Spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down 

The medicine go down-wown 

The medicine go down 

Just a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down 

In a most delightful way
