Top of the World Lounge – Wordless Wednesday

September 10, 2014 dadfordisney 2 Comments

This week’s topic for Wordless Wednesday is Views. As a Disney Vacation Club member, I have access to the Top of the World Lounge at Bay Lake Tower. It is a great place to go watch Wishes after a day in the parks. You get a great view of the fireworks and you are far enough way that you don’t hear the loud firework “BOOM!” The last time, my family and I watched from there was back in November 2012 and my wife was able to get some great pictures. I’m not the best with Photoshop/MS Paint so this is the best montage I could create with the pictures she took.

Thanks for reading!

All About Thumper

September 10, 2014 dadfordisney 2 Comments

Thumper is one of my favorite Disney characters. This adorable little rabbit made his debut in Bambi as a little ball of excitement, wonder, and, at times, mischief. Originally, Thumper was to only have a minor role in Bambi. After Disney cast young voice-actor Peter Behn, who was only four years old, Thumper took on a prominent role in the movie.

Thumper, in the 21st century, became the centerpiece of a series of books under the Disney Bunnies. These books were I Love You, My Bunnies, Thumper Counts to Ten, and Goodnight Thumper. My daughter had a copy of all of these books.

I want to spend a some time discussing why I like Thumper, who in my opinion, is one of Disney’s best supporting characters.
