One of my mama's favorite stories about me is when people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up. Of course there was the normal answers (teacher, work for NASA, be a mailman...well normal for me) but the one that always got adults was when I would say, "I want to be Michael Eisner when I grow up!" I think this always threw people off guard! I mean really...what kind of answer is that? But if you think about it from a kid's point of view he had THE COOLEST JOB EVER!! Yes he was the CEO of the Disney corporation when I was growing up but I didn't know that! All I knew was that once a week before the start of the The Disney Sunday Movie he would come out and get to play with different Disney characters and then introduce the movie of the week. Coolest job ever, right?


When we heard that the Ronald Regan Presidential Library was going to open a Disney exhibit we were both very excited! We couldn't wait to go! My friend Alison's mom is a docent of the Library and suggested that we all go together. So not only would I get to complete my mother/daughter date I was going to get to have a double mother/daughter date! And we had so much fun! We met for lunch then made our way to the Library. When we entered the exhibit I got that fun feeling that I always get when I enter Disneyland. It was so cool and magical to see EVERYTHING! From Walt's office to the books from the opening of Cinderella and Snow White, to the costumes from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland, I loved it all! My only complaint was I wish there was MORE!!
Although I love my job, a part of me wishes that I could still work for Disney in some aspect!! Maybe someone out there will find this blog and offer me a job as a voice of a Disney character! That would be epic!
