That face says it all--Magical at Disney! |
When the idea of the Williams Family Blog was conceived and
born, it was a surreal feeling to know that others “out there” were reading the
words that I had composed. At the same
time, that is exactly the purpose of the Williams Family Blog—to get the words
out of my head and onto “paper” of some sort.
Three years and hundreds of posts later, I am still amazed by what
happens to the words “out there.”
When acting live on stage or in front of a camera, actors
are not supposed to acknowledge the “fourth wall” or the audience. I supposed writing for cyberspace is the
same. The writing is for the folks “out
there” and yet there maybe some rule about acknowledging the readers. I have broken that rule before and I am going
to do it again.
The following was a comment on the Williams Family Blog
yesterday made by an anonymous reader: You are all incredible lucky and blessed- I
think the CM's are choosing your family members for these special things
because, magic looks like it's just beaming out of all of you in your joyful
smiles. That magic is contagious- they know that you'll show everyone what it
means to be a Disney Family. My family has been chosen to do a lot of special
things too- and I think vivid matching outfits are a big plus!!!
The comment was in response to a post about how we make
Disney World even more magical and memorable—click here to read more.
What struck me was the line about the magic beaming from us
in our smiles. Yes, that is exactly how
we feel at Disney—most of the time! (We
all have grumpy moments sometimes.) This
reader was able to get that from my words—and pictures! As a writer, it can be difficult to
find the exact words to convey the message—feeling or idea—and it can elating
when a reader does get exactly what you are trying to convey. This anonymous reader did get it, responded,
and made my day! Thank you!
We have had other guests make mention of our “beaming” such
as the time a guest told us we glowed.
That is a moment I won’t soon forget.
And, we have had Cast Members make comments about our relaxed demeanor portraying
to them that this must not be our first visit or cruise.
So, to our anonymous reader:
Thank you so much for your comment—it made my day! Yes, we are lucky and blessed at Disney and
beyond. Wishing you Disney magic today
and everyday!
So sweet! It's funny, but I was also thinking while looking at your pictures, "Oh my goodness, they just look so happy and beam-y! what adorable pics and an adorable family!" I rarely comment on blogs b/c I'm perusing the internet way past my bedtime b/c with three little ones, it's the only time I get a chance to, but I just wanted to take a moment to say thanks for this gem of a find (I will peruse more later, too!) and your smiles made me smile tonight. :)
