Don’t forget to slow down and enjoy the tiny details by Matt Gibbs

Often times you hear people say, “Don’t forget to slow down and enjoy the tiny details.” Okay, maybe you don’t hear it, but it is great advice nonetheless! On recent trips home, we have slowed our pace really trying to take in the details, and discover the secrets that only Disney can offer.

Disney Hollywood Studios…an incredibly close race for my most favorite of the four parks. Have you ever stopped and listen to street comedy? We have watched the ‘Citizens of Hollywood’ give performances on several occasions and always end up laughing so hard our bellies hurt!

Our first encounter led my brother-in-law to be pulled from the crowd to star in a commercial. We have watched them entertain us with a dating game show, and even a Disney Quiz Show where all 7 kids we were traveling with became part of the act.

From the goofy policeman, to the ageless studio starlet – you are guaranteed to be left shaking your head (and possibly even having to explain some of the humor and jokes to the younger members of the crowd). This is one discovery we will never forget.

Don’t miss out on discovering the ‘Streetmosphere’….slow down enjoy the fun – who knows, you may even become part of the show? ‘Do you trust me?’ disneydad1972@gmail.com
