what do you know. HE LIVES!!
Ok, lots has happened since I last posted. George Bush became President, we moved from horse drawn carriages to cars....ok, not that long.
Here's what's going on in MillerDisneyville. We are now Disney Vacation Club members. I think it scares my wife to death. I think she thinks we'll only be visiting the parks for the rest of our lives. She's mistaken but I guess I'll need to prove that to her. Our first trip is the week after Thanksgiving with my parents. One of the reasons we did this is so we can take people and I can be a "guide"...if they want me to be of course.
The last of the Nine Old Men, Ollie Johnson, died. The Nine Old Men were Walt's main animators during the Disney golden years and basically wrote the book on animation AND did a lot to help create Disneyland for Walt. Marc Davis, another of the group, was instrumental as an imagineer in putting together many of the rides and such. So, that's a sad chapter to end for Disney historians. Kind of the last link to Walt and those magical times.
Life is good. Starting to travel again which isn't the best but I'm racking up some good travel rewards. We're using 2 free flights for the Disney trip and I have 140,000 Marriott points. Have no idea when I'll get to use those. Maybe find a nice Marriott by a beach somewhere...don't tell my wife.
Love up everyone!
I have been asked many times why a grown man (37 and counting...) has such a fascination with Mickey Mouse, Disneyland, and Walt Disney World. In an effort to describe where my true interest lies and, in the process, perhaps, share a bit about who I am, I thought it would be helpful to begin by explaining how I became enamored by the man, Walt Disney, and why his story intrigues me so.

I only have one thing to say.
When we're done pooling your DVC points and our DVC points, our kids are going to have one heck of a fairytale wedding.
(I know how much you LOVE it when I marry Emmy off well before her time!!)
Hey, we miss you guys. I think we should do something about that. Soon.
Son,
Glad that you have entered the blog world again. We are looking forward to that Disney trip. Love, Mom
