A sad night
9.06.2003 3:00 PM \| Link	Yesterday there was an accident on Big Thunder Mountain Railroad at Disneyland that resulted in a death and several other injuries. I was completely shocked and saddened when I heard the news (first at work, then from my parents, and then from my pal Jonathan). It's a tragedy for all the families involved, and on a personal note, it's so sad to me when reality infringes on fantasy. Disneyland holds a special place in my heart, so the thought of anything bad happening there is just beyond terrible. Last night I was glued to all of the Disney websites that I read regularly, looking for updates or details. It's especially strange for me because I rode Big Thunder with Dad only 15 days before the accident - I've also ridden the same ride at Walt Disney World and Tokyo Disneyland, and I've always enjoyed it. I hope the cause of the accident can be found and repaired so it will never happen again. I decided to get out and cheer myself up this morning, so I went to see the latest IMAX movie, Texas: The Big Picture. I always love IMAX movies, and this one was really good - it's amazing how everyday things I see all the time suddenly become so beautiful on that giant screen. Everything in the movie was inspiring, and really made me think about all the wonder there is in the world (not just Texas) and feel good about it. Next I went to the Disney Store to pre-order Finding Nemo - I've been the master of money-saving offers lately! Every time they have a pre-order offer, they give you a $10 gift card if you spend $50. I've been using $20 cards from my Disney Visa to pay for the $50, so after I receive the $10 card, it's like I'm only spending $20! Cool! Labels: disney, life
