APOCALYPSE UPDATE

Disney’s ‘It’s a Small World’ ride to get new song lyrics

Mother Earth unites us in heart and mind

And the love we give makes us humankind

Through our vast wondrous land

When we stand hand-in-hand

It’s a small world after all.

Surely Ron DeSantis will not allow this to happen.

I know, don't call you Shirley.

[MOTW]

Gag me with a spoon.

As if I needed another reason to not go there.

I’m guessing this was AI-generated.

On the plus side, that asteroid is getting close every day.

It's A Woke World After All...

Surprisingly innocuous - I would have expected much, much worse from Disney. Maybe it is the apolcalypse after all. Hey, that gives me an idea for a song. :P

[Lucky Jack]

At least this one won't stick in my head all day.

Ok, we all make fun of Disney, but consider this. As a young boy my family would travel 200 miles o my mother's hometown. When we would go into town, my aunt and uncle wone a huge dairy farm on the outskirts, my mom would say to me riding in the back seat, "look, little man tom, here is Walt Disney's home." I of course was thrilled as we drove by the white house with a green roof at the end of town. It made it all seem so real and I understood how Disney developed his vivid imagination living in such a wonderful, enlighten down to earth place. Heaven on Earth.

So, if you look at the second picture here you see Walt and his brother under the Dreaming Tree and that boyhood home I drove by many times in the foreground. That's the house I remember.

My aunts farm was massive, ended up being thousands of acress with her three sons buying up neighboring land. The family still owns at least some of, I have not been in touch lately. I spend times during the summers on that farm. The whole experience of doing things and freedom I felt there was in a word, majestic. No wonder Disney had such a vivid imagination. A beautiful place. You know where the Buffalo roam...etc. The buffalo were mu uncles herd of milk cattle, but you get the idea. They roamed. And not a cloud near.

The white house with the green roof I drove past as a kid so many times is now a museum.

BTW, my Dad had bought a small house late in life just of the main road through Marceline just up the street from the Disney home. My dad died there in Marceline.

M-I-C-K-E-Y M-O-U...S-E (cry's)

Now *that* is a great Disney story, Tom.

[Slim Chance]

A round of brain bleach for everyone.

[Grumpy]

The Disney empire of today is a far cry from the Wonderful World of Disney that Uncle Walt created in 1923.

Walt's likely spinning in his grave or cryonic freezer in Scottsdale.

Skip the amusement parks & have a 'Barry' amusing time here...

A handkerchief for man tom. Along the same lines, I remember my dad pointing out the Wrigley mansion as we drove past.
