Thoughts from the Tiki Room

[CoasterMatt]

I didn't quite know where to put this, but it does relate to Disneyland, so I'll stick it here.

As it's been fairly well known around here, I haven't had a great start to the year- but I did get to go to Disneyland yesterday, and last night in the Tiki Room, the magic and dare I say it, the ENCHANTMENT of that place really got to me.

We sat in our usual spot, back row- I like to feel the wave of air when the thunder rolls through after the Hawaiian War Chant. When the music started, I wasn't a cynical, disturbed 35 year old at all- I was the 2 or 3 year old kid when I first saw the show. My mouth was open in weird sort of "poses"- a look of awe that would probably only be seen on an infant seeing the most AMAZING THING EVER! I could feel my fingers pointing at all this motion and the music just coursed through me. I felt tears down my cheeks and I did nothing to hold them back.

Thanks Walt.
