Made to Create

Two weeks ago I drove down to Orlando, Florida for an internship with Disney's Animal Programs. I am officially a new cast member at Walt Disney's Animal Kingdom, and after two weeks of training, this is what I have learned.

Disney's primary purpose is to create happiness. Every attraction, every performance, every employee is there to bring happiness to individuals and their families. And it works! I feel that all the bitterness and cynicism in me characteristic to a savvy college student has been replaced by trust and optimism. Each time I see Mickey's infectious smile, I become 6 years old all over again, and I love it.

The mastermind behind the park noted: "Animation offers a medium of story telling and visual entertainment which can bring pleasure and information to people of all ages everywhere in the world." -Walt Disney

We create happiness. We create magic. We create memories.
