Riding in a quasi-futuristic vehicle…

Walt Disney’s dream for Progress City included a great deal of forward-thinking with regards to public transportation. Cars weren’t intended as an integral part of it, but monorails and PeopleMovers were. While his vision never became our reality, whenever I board the PeopleMover, I can almost see that alternate universe where it exists. And that brief look at Progress City drives the point home, too.

The PeopleMover is one of my top two rides at Walt Disney World. No Disney fantasy would be complete without it.

Boarding a remarkable spaceship…

I went to Epcot back when it was still called EPCOT Center, and I remember moments from those childhood visits. I would gaze at the wonders that somehow combined herculean feats of design with child-friendly and informational aspects.

While others eschew the thought of infotainment, I’ve always embraced it. Epcot is one of the main reasons why. And when I shut my eyes, I remember every majestic scene on Spaceship Earth, relishing in how cleverly it all comes together as a history of humanity.

Disney shopping…

Bayview Gifts is one of the largest in-hotel stores that Disney owns, and it has seemingly everything from confectionaries to kitchenware to luggage. There are even a few high-priced paintings on the walls behind the checkout counter.

I think about this place so much that I regularly check YouTube to watch the latest videos of theme park tourists visiting this store. I need to know when they have new merchandise and precisely what it is.
