Let the Memories Begin! HDR Photo of the Magic Kingdom Entrance
The Disney Park’s theme for this year is “Let the Memories Begin” and it really epitimizes what Disney means to me personally because it’s the memories of my times in Disney with family and friends that are my personal treasures. I firmly believe that there is no better way to capture your Disney memories for years to come than in a photograph! Since Thanksgiving comes in November every year, my WDW Fan Zone article for this month will be on giving thanks for all of the Disney memories. I am thankful that this year I had the priviledge of taking my parents and son to Walt Disney World for a six night vacation. I am thankful that I had the opportunity to spend time with my fellow Moms Panel Moms and Dads in Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and outside of Disney as well. I am thankful for all of the old friends and new friends that I spent time with in the Disney Parks and online. I’m thankful for having the chance to to sail on the Disney Dream Cruise Ship with Lou Mongello and friends. Also I am thankful for being able to attend two D23 events, Destination D in Walt Disney World and the D23 Expo in California. I know that I probably missed something in my list of thanks, but from the bottom of my heart I want to say, ”Thanks for the Memories”!
The Makin’ Memories song from the Magic Journey’s preshow really sums up what Disney photo memories mean to me and I want to leave you with the lyrics to this great song:
Now we shoot whatever we see
Night or day in color photography
Candid shots are barrels of fun
Takin’ pictures by the light of the sun
Smile, hon, look at the camera
Hold your breath and say cheese
And with every single shot we take, we are making memories
Making memories, making memories
Taking pictures is making memories
Catching little pieces of time
Making them yours, making them mine
Great vacations and celebrations
Can fade away in a year
But when we’re making memories
Happy days are always here
All around us
Everywhere we look
Every moment that we live
Can fill a picture book
Light and shadows
Smiles and sentimental tears
They’re a precious treasure
We can cherish through the years
Making memories, making memories
Taking pictures is making memories
Catching little pieces of time
Making them yours, making them mine
Great vacations and celebrations
Can fade away in a year
Cause when we’re making memories
Happy days are always here
Happy days are always here
