Walt Disney Patriotic Quote of the Day

It's time for some Tiggerific Trivia!

Walt Disney was a very patriotic American throughout his life. He lived the American dream through faith, hard work, perseverance and an abundance of creativity. The quote in the picture below is one of my favorites referring to his thoughts on American freedom.

Happy 15th Anniversary Disney's Animal Kingdom!

Earth Day is always a special day at Animal Kingdom because the park opened on April 22, 1998. This year Disney's Animal Kingdom celebrates it's 15th birthday!
The underlying theme of Disney's Animal Kingdom is conservation and preservation. Walt Disney was concerned about conservation and wildlife preservation as far back as the 1950's. He once said:

"You've probably heard people talk about conservation. Well, conservation isn't just the business of a few people. It's a matter that concerns all of us. It's a science whose principles are written in the oldest code in the world, the laws of nature. The natural resources of our vast continent are not inexhaustible. But if we will use our riches wisely, if we will protect our wildlife and preserve our lakes and streams, these things will last us for generations to come."

"I have learned from the animal world, and what everyone will learn who studies it is, a renewed sense of kinship with the earth and all its inhabitants."

Many dignitaries were on hand for the dedication ceremony of Disney's Animal Kingdom on April 22. 1998 including Roy E. Disney who is quoted below.

As a photographer and Animal Kingdom lover from day one I have thousands of pictures from my magical adventures in the parks from the past 15 years. As a little DAK13 birthday tribute I'd like to share 15+ of those photo experiences and a few fun Disney Animal Kingdom facts today.

The Tree of Life project was started in the late 80’s and opened on April, 22, 1998.
The tree is 14 stories high, its leafy canopy spreads 160 feet across. So large that it fits the Tough to be a Bug theater inside that can seat 430 people.
It took 20 artists to carve the 320 animals into the trunk, branches and the roots.
The trunk carvings were assembled outside the park with 52 rock-work cages out of which the animal sculptures were carved. The trunk was then cut into a dozen giant parts and flown to an assembly area near the park. There, they joined the segments into pairs. The completed six trunk sections were then transported by crane to the Safari Village area and assembled.

Make sure you stop by DisTherapy ~ 15 Days to 15 Years for the conclusion of the series.

In celebration of Earth Day today I'll be planting my Earth Day trees, a plum and 2 Weeping Willows. Do you have any special plans for today?

Disney Quote of the Day

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

Disney Quote of the Day

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

Disney Quote of the Day ~ Walt Disney ~ Focused on the Magic

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?

Destination Disney ~ Quoting Walt Disney

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

Walt Disney, Quote, Focused on the Magic, Cinderella Castle

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.

Another quote that I really like.

Destination Disney ~ Mrs. Incredible Quote

"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.
