Storytelling - Vacation and Heritage

LET'S TELL A STORY!

Our family has been to Walt Disney World almost every year for the past 18 years.  We have such great memories.  Each year has been an adventure and loaded with lots of stories.  Because I wanted to share my story and I wanted to share in the celebration of someone else's story, I decided to join a traveling Disney Story Book.  

First, I created a theme for my book. The theme was "Dream it and Live it at Walt Disney World".  I wanted to share my Disney Dream and hear dreams of others.  Here is how my story began. 

I asked the Disney scrapbook group to share a Disney Dream. I wanted to know what Disney Dream did they live? The visions were incredible and the stories were special. I was able to capture the  moment in the stories and photos that were shared.

Because, I wanted them to share their story;  I found that the story can be told in different ways.  Some just with a title like “Make a Wish” with a picture of Cinderella’s Castle. Others enjoy the sparkle of Mickey Mouse and in the Fantasmic firework display.  I had one dreamer who enjoyed the Disney Cruise. She shared a story with water background on paper and shared her experience of the breathtaking ship and ocean views an adventure her family enjoyed at sea.  Story are so personal and can captivate someone attention when told whether with words or pictures it will still be special.
