Disney in the Classroom

That all ended when we found a big chest by the Jungle Cruise. Inside was a treasure map and all we needed to become pirates and find the treasure. Sam couldn’t get to Tom Sawyer’s Island fast enough. Once on the Island we ran up the Jolly Roger and (with Tom’s help) found the treasure. We even had time to do some trading with Huck.
Mickey listens and then shows his appreciation
Our last stop on the tour was to
return the book to its owner. So we scampered off to Toontown and entered the
back door of Mickey’s House. There we found Mickey (dressed for a Band Concert
☺) and gave him back his songbook. Mickey wanted to hear all about how the
kids found the book They delighted in sharing their adventures and received
Mickey’s thanks and a hug ºoº for their efforts.
So the kids had a great time on their tour. More important they (especially
Sam) learned that we can decide how good a time we have regardless of where we
are. I was reminded once again of the power of Walt’s vision: imagination can
make the world as wonderful as it was meant to be.
Have a Disney day!
