Dear Son – Page 52 – Disney Creativity and Innovation Keynote Speaker

Old after-Church routine

Disney FastPass app — Yesterday, a trip down memory lane….get FastPasses to Peter Pan. By 1130am Peter Pan was out of FastPasses for the entire day.

Mickey Mouse shaped drinking straws — After securing FastPasses, we had lunch at Columbia Harbor House. Our favorite meal was underwhelming. Everyone has an off day – but it’s never supposed to happen at Disney, right?

florida storm map — This storm front was hours away from our Magic Kingdom plans.

Columbia Harbor House view — We always sit in the alcove “bridge” – a table with a view.

Magic Kingdom mobile app map — My iPhone and watch mark our location.

Disney Keynote Speaker — A final “we were there” shot.

Old after-Church routine we haven’t done in years….

Go home, change, go to Disney’s Magic Kingdom to ride Peter Pan and have lunch at Columbia Harbor House.

The beauty and grind of an ordinary day

Disney Cast celebration from a friend’s Facebook update yesterday.

Granite Park Chalet phone number — Quick call with a couple questions about Glacier National Park’s high-mountain chalet.

Gas tank gauge — i cannot recall the last time this happened. Maybe a decade ago? From the Tampa trip.

The beauty and grind of an ordinary day is a gift.

Today is all we have.

Unwrap, appreciate, and enjoy it.

Never forget this

Glacier National Park — Pick how you want to travel.

The long way is the shortcut.

Life is unfair too.

But you’re on the journey no matter how you view it, so travel intelligently and remember that life is unfair to everyone.

Never forget this.

Being organized helps you recover from unexpected changes

Homemade Airline seat chart — Seating for five of us on one of this Summer’s Glacier National Park trips. This is what United was able to rearrange for the return flights – much better then before the call.

Being organized helps you recover from unexpected changes.

Went to add a fifth passenger to our trip itinerary and panicked.

Our return flight wasn’t available for Skylar.

Why?

Because the return flight from Kalispell, MT to Orlando, FL through Denver had changed – without notice.

Now, we don’t fly from Kalispell to Denver to Orlando. It’s been changed and has an added leg from Denver to Chicago and then on home to Orlando.

Our seats had been mismanaged from the original plan. A long call to United to request our seats be together like i had originally booked and it got sorted out pretty well.

Rather than be angry about the extra time and effort required on the return trip, i surrendered to the fact that we can afford the trip, etc, etc.

If it’s not on the test…

aging and staying active — Taking care of the temple that houses everything keeping you alive…your body. If you think honing healthy habits isn’t important in your youth, good luck with it as you age. Be organized or be overwhelmed.

Helping a 17-year old navigate and learn life-skills not taught in school.

What a privilege.

What a challenge.

What an opportunity for a 17-year old.

Likely a teen, if they can’t see it (the incalculable value), they aren’t interested nor motivated to learn.

If it’s not on the test…

Well, it is on the test.

But the test won’t come for years, even decades from today.
