Dixieland at Disneyland

The first nighttime Disneyland event on the Rivers of America was not Fantasmic! Instead, it was Dixieland at Disneyland, debuting in 1960. There was no New Orleans Square yet, but it was such a very popular event, that they did it again. Imagine riding all the beloved attractions of a young Disneyland and getting to see a living legend perform- Louis Armstrong. Live jazz from a master, a cruise on the Mark Twain Riverboat at night, and all of this for one very affordable price! I'd give up Fantasmic! in its current state in a heartbeat to cruise the river at night again. But any way you look at it, Walt's park was the place to be. What a Wonderful World indeed!

Coffee Shop Wisdom #3

Certainly true of me, and honestly, probably true of you, too. This one really speaks to me at a level much deeper than I initially realized. Now, in the spirit of full and honest disclosure, I cannot really tell you this is "coffee shop wisdom" when its really more like wisdom from something framed that's hanging in my office- and I read it while drinking coffee. :) Is that fair? Regardless, the sentiment behind this suggests an eternal truth. We need God all the time. Oh Jesus! Help me know this deep, deep down in places I don't want to look at- and in places where I think I have things under control!
