The window with a lamp

Cadaverous Pallor · 03-05-2006, 10:31 PM

I don't always give Walt the nod or wave, but some days, the lamp does catch my eye. I think it especially beckons when we close the park and saunter our way slowly to the exit.

I love showing it to day guest friends.

"That was Walt's apartment, above the fire station. He'd stay the night up there sometimes, and be up early to walk the park and make sure things were perfect. The workers knew he was here if the lamp was on in the window. After he died, they left it on all the time, to show that Walt is always here."

Everyone that I've related this short tale to seems touched by it, regardless of how much of a Disney person they are. What a lovely symbol of Walt's commitment.

Actually, someone apparently emailed Disney to ask about this, and they're saying photography is being permitted on this event. I know that photography was not permitted on another recent event. When I was in the apartment, we were allowed to take pictures, though I didn't have a camera so I didn't personally take any.

Hades, that was a very sweet and touching post. I hope that you will often remember Andrew, as well as dear old Walt, when you stroll through Town Square and glance up.
