Easily the coolest, best photograph of Spaceship Earth I have ever seen.
The Whole Wide World (by -Jamian-)
Note: This is a re-posting from my old blog. I really like it and figured it’d be a quick and dirty way to get some real content up here.
I posted this article to http://murmur.com, where I hope to probably won’t continue posting pieces like this, that aren’t quite blog posts.
It’s 1992 and I’m in the second grade. As well as I can remember, this is my first trip to Walt Disney World. My memory isn’t so hot and has only ever been able to recall a handful of brief, yet crystal clear, moments from my childhood. I brought home a bundle of pencils for my class. This is always the first thing I remember when I think of this trip. I also secured a rather obnoxious oversized pencil for myself. This act speaks volumes on my personality. I enter Tomorrowland. It’s very clean. Everything is white and the whole place feels sterile. Without having experienced any of it, I already love Tomorrowland. My youthful fascination with space and science fiction makes sure of this. I didn’t ride Space Mountain. If I wasn’t too short, I was definitely too scared. I can only recall experiencing one attraction. Mission to Mars. It scared me so much that I would not enter its building for over a decade, despite the show being replaced well before this time. These are the only memories I have of my first visit to Tomorrowland.
