Mad Tea Party at Disney World Then and Now!

Early 1970's Tea Cup Ride

Recently uncovered this snapshot on my computer while looking for other Disney World trip photos. I had to take a second look because I thought it was my niece but it's me. Amazed at the resemblance between us. This photo was taken when my Mother and I visited the Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World in the early 1970's. The Mad Tea Party is still a favorite.

Fireworks at Magic Kingdon

Words cannot express the spectacular fireworks show celebrating the power of believing last night in the Magic Kingdom. Brilliant special effects washed over Cinderella’s Castle during this fireworks extravaganza with Tinker Bell flying over the park during the show! Back home now but had a fantastic time in Disney.

Dancing at Disney

Members of the Snappy Tappers performed “Charleston, “Carolina “Girls, and “Ain’t She Sweet” with Sharon’s School of Dance at the  Disney Waterside Stage at Disney Springs in Disney World. What a magical experience entertaining guests from around the world with this unique performance opportunity.

As a members of the Snappy Tappers, I was thrilled to perform "One", "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy", "Shine on Your Shoes", and "42nd Street" with Sharon’s School of Dance at the Downtown Disney Waterside Stage in Disney World. What a wonderful experience to be able to dance at Disney World.

"Shaggy Dog" - My Disney Side

I'm showing my Disney side with my "Shaggy Dog" costume for the "Disney After Dark" birthday party. I was planning to dress as Crewella DeVille but that Disney character had already been taken so I had to come up with something else. The "Shaggy Dog" seemed to work for me. How'd I do?
