"Two of the dream-memories we take from childhood on our life's
journey, if we are fortunate, are the wonder and excitement of Disney World
and the soaring majesty of castles.
Perhaps that is why the Cinderella Castle at Walt Disney World, Orlando,
is such an enchanting inspiration to young and old. My family makes a
pilgrimage to this favorite spot on every visit. This year, I went in my
imagination to explore a vision of the regal castle gently kissed by the
golden light of a perfect day.
A New Day at the Cinderella Castle discovers a morning every bit as festive
and delightful as the castle itself. A double rainbow arcs over the towering
castle; fluffy clouds dapple its many towers with light and shade. Lavish,
rainbow-hued trees and shrubs frame the building; quaint gas lamps dance
along the walkway.
I used a more whimsical style in keeping with the subject: Is Bambi on the
lawn? Tinkerbell above the castle spires? The Ugly Duckling in the pond? You
decide."
