It’s probably not possible to think of Orlando without seeing images of fairytale creatures great and small, and one particularly familiar happy giant mouse.
But there is a lot more going on in Central Florida than our childhood heroes coming to life, even for all too brief a time. Mr. Disney can be credited in making what was once a sleepy little town into an international destination -- one of the top destinations in the world.
But one thing will never change, the awe and wonder a child feels when stepping into a magic land.And it works on adults, too.
