darthmaz314 Disney Snapshot of the Day - Beneath the AT-AT Outside Star Tours: The Adventure Continues

Today's Disney Snapshot of the Day features the massive Imperial AT-AT which stands as sentry outside of Star Tours: The Adventure Continues in Disney's Hollywood Studios. While my photo does not exactly replicate those shots in The Empire Strikes Back where Luke becomes familiar with the underbelly of the AT-AT walker, it does hearken back a bit to the frozen planet of Hoth. The exception being that when my picture was taken in the blisteringly hot and humid Orlando summer, it was probably 150 degrees warmer than it would have been on the fictional ice planet.

darthmaz314 Disney Snapshot of the Day: The Words of Walt Disney

Walt Disney passed on nearly fifty years ago and yet his notoriety spans innumerable generations and has permeated even the farthest reaches of the globe. Authors have filled volumes expounding on the reasons for this for over half a century. Yet, sometimes a simple quote can communicate more than countless volumes. 

Below is a short, yet insightful quote from a hardworking American man of modest means, who built a kingdom, not just for himself, but for all, to play in. Walt's creativity, ingenuity, and unique vision are all legendary. But without the dogged work ethic exemplified in the comment below, the fantastical and creative worlds built of his imagination would have remained nothing more than pipe dreams. Mickey Mouse would have merely been a street rat scurrying through those pipes, instead of a global symbol of creativity, imagination, and entertainment excellence.
