Yes that's me underneath the hat. The roller coaster is courtesy of Photoshop. I did go to Disney World recently, however, and had a great time.

I continue to be mesmerized by the vision of Walt Disney. Think for a moment how he changed animation forever. And that was just the beginning. His vision was so focused and so grand that it lives on, and grows, even after his death.

Customer service at Disney is unbelievable! Disney takes Customer Service, sprinkles it with fairy dust - laced with steroids - straps it to a rocket and blasts it into the stars.

Ok, I'll admit that sometimes the extreme customer service goes over the top - and can even be a bit goofy. But within minutes of leaving the World of Disney and experiencing the indifference of the Real World, all I could think was "I miss Mickey."

Extreme Vacationing.

Matt is a guy who quit his job and used all the money he'd saved to spend several months traveling to thirty-nine countries. Then he did it again and had someone else pay for it.

Now Matt is quasi-famous as "That guy who dances on the internet. No, not that guy. The other one. No, not him either. I'll send you the link. It's funny."
