Tinkerbell’s Flight is a Little Too Much Fun

Cheri There are two sure things about me. 1) I will always laugh uncontrollably at pictures of cats with hats.

And 2) I will always cry watching Tinkerbell’s flight at the Magic Kingdom at Walt Disney World.

During the fireworks some brave soul in a Tinkerbell costume careens down a wire strung from the top spires of the castle to a roof on Main Street and IT KILLS ME EVERY TIME. For those few minutes it is all real. This is really Tinkerbell. There is no wire. She is really flying.

Just as it’s not always a good idea to show me cat pictures (in court, in church, at funerals – in places that I shouldn’t be snorting and doubling over in laughter) , I’m not always prepared for the emotions of Tinkerbell’s flight. Both are, at times, a little too much joy for me to handle all at once.
