Travel – To all who come to this place of joy, hope & friendship, welcome

When I started this writing project, I knew travel would be a part of it. Travel has been one of my favorite things to do for most of my life. I like seeing new places and visiting ones we have visited before.

Our family enjoys a trip to Disney anytime, anywhere. It is a regular occurrence for us. We are Disney people. There, I said it. We are those people.

Well, today, we arrived just after Hurricane Milton wreaked havoc throughout Central Florida. I am amazed how the Cast Members have cleaned most debris up and returned to normal so quickly. On the ride down today, we noticed a great deal of damage in some areas and many power trucks and recovery assets en route.

Today, while arriving at Epcot, I heard something I was unaware of. The arrival message included a creative vision from Walt Disney: “To all that come to this place of joy, hope, friendship, and welcome.” This line immediately made me think of this writing project. As you have read before, I like to include themes of hope, love, and gratitude in most of my writing. Joy and friendship also fit in nicely.

After working in the travel industry for a decade, I saw many amazing places. It is always good to step out of your day-to-day routine and locale to experience somewhere and something different. Once I returned home, I always felt renewed mentally. Even after many visits to Disney, I feel renewed by how they treat its guests.

Travel is good for the soul, and having a trip on the calendar is always great. I would love to know where your favorite places to visit are. Let’s connect!
