Disney's Not So Scary Halloween party sign
Walt Disney World’s Not So Scary Halloween Party is an annual Fall tradition for many Guests and Cast Members

 

Walt Disney World’s Not So Scary Halloween Party is an annual Fall tradition for many Guests and Cast Members. Had a special moment after the final fireworks sequence concluded as the breathtaking oh’s and ah’s from so many people turned into roaring applause.

A moment so hard to describe from the vantage point of an almost 30-year Cast Member (standing next to his wife with the same Disney longevity).

And does the math even matter?

Or does it tell us something about our own life?

Many unexpected things happen to heighten an already heightened sense of concern.

Concern though, is a tricky beast.

Constantly reminding us we have two choices:

  • survive
  • thrive

Life’s fine print reveals this struggle opportunity reality lasts a lifetime.

PS. The boys have been together for 11 years, and so have their parents.
