Raise your hand if you've ever been to Walt Disney World. Ok, ok. If you're reading this, chances are you've been. Why would you care to read about "A Disney Moms Thoughts" if you've never been to Walt Disney World? Maybe if you are planning your first trip? Possibly.
Anyway, for new park goers and old we sometimes have to remember to slow down. Disney does a FABULOUS job of making every part of your vacation memorable. They don't just create rides for us, they design attractions with back stories and plots. They don't just build buildings, they create back stories and have hidden secrets in the names of the buildings. They don't just paint murals, they hide hidden mickey's in the artwork. The details at Disney are impeccable. You can find them everywhere you look, as long as you aren't rushing from
ride to ride attraction to attraction, park to park or to your next dining reservation!
Below are some photos I snapped in a 10 minute walk from the Train Station to the end of Main Street by Casey's Corner. Amazing what you can find when you slow down, soak it all in and don't rush from one thing to another! I would love to plan a trip to WDW where I didn't ride the attractions, but instead walked around and looked at all the hidden gems along the way. (And ate at the fabulous restaurants!)

There is a great article at Mousekingdom Blog about this book. I definitely think it's a must read for Disney freaks like myself!! :)
