It is inevitable that people will cancel their plans, now that this war in Iraq is going to happen. As a cast member who cares deeply about Disney World, and what it represents, please, nobody should cancel their plans because of what is going on outside. I know lots of people will, and I am not saying this as hopes for Disney not to lose lots of money, but that Walt Disney himself knew and believed that this place is one of happiness, a place where people can go to remember that life is fun, that magic does exist. Why sit around and watch MSNBC when you can be riding space mountain or chasing poachers in the African Safari. Why not let your child hug Mickey Mouse and see their eyes light up, instead of letting them sit on the couch with you as they here about the awful things going on in the Middle East. Don't sheild them from reality, but don't deny them, and yourself, the magical experience you will have at Walt Disney World. Because I believe that Disney World really is where magic lives, your child's eyes and your own will tell you that.
