Seeds from Walt Disney's childhood "Dreaming Tree," under which he sat and looked at bugs. That's kind of neat.

 
More things you can't say at Disney's Virtual Magic Kingdom.

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me!
We pillage, we plunder, we rifle, and loot,
Drink up, me 'earties, yo ho!
We kidnap and ravage and don't give a hoot,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho!

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me!
We extort, we pilfer, we filch, and sack,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho!
Maraud and embezzle, and even hijack (high jack, high-jack, hi-jack),
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho!

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me!
We kindle and char, inflame and ignite,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho!
We burn up the city, we're really a fright,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho!

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me!
We're rascals, scoundrels, villans, and knaves,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho!
We're devils and blacksheep (black sheep), really bad eggs,
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho!

Yo ho, yo ho, a pirate's life for me!
We're beggars and blighters and ne'er-do-well cads.
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho!
Aye but we're loved by our mommies and dads!
Drink up me 'earties, yo ho!


...or...

Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
My, oh my, what a wonderful day
Plenty of sunshine headin' my way,
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay.

Mister Bluebird's on my shoulder
It's the truth, it's actual,
Everything is satisfactual.
Zip-a-dee-doo-dah, zip-a-dee-ay
Wonderful feeling, wonderful day!


However, you can say:


"I read in the news that the chief of Disney was thrown out. He got his rear end handed to him on a plate. I'm glad he doesn't run Disney anymore! Did you read his book? The title is Camp. It's just awful."

"This line is really long and I just had a huge soda. Now I have to pass water. I have to go really, really bad! There isn't a rest room around anywhere! I'll just take it out and go right here in the middle of the street. No, wait, I'll go in this can that says 'Waste Please'."

"Gosh! Somebody came all over the seats in this theater!"


(Please note that I tested these phrases in the privacy of my virtual room, not out in virtual public.)

So, I'm still working on my Disneyland castle model:





Now, when they restored the original model that Walt showed on TV and put it on display at Disneyland, they added a nice touch. They took this picture...




...and cut out the little Walt in the right scale, and had him walking through the model. I thought that was pretty spiffy, so I photoshopped up a colorized version of Mini-Walt for my model.





I used a different photo (because the image was sharper) with a different head position, and decided that when Walt went walking around before the park opened, he probably had a cigarette. I cut a tiny strip of paper, and put it between the front and back.

In case you happen to be building the same model, and you want your own Mini-Walt, here's the jpeg to print out:
