Thinking Disney Thursday today comes from our family trip to Disney World in January/February 2012. We stayed at the Beach Club Resort and really enjoyed being able to walk to Epcot and Hollywood Studios from the hotel. Today’s pic was taken at Hollywood Studios just outside Star Tours.
Our daughter spent a fair bit of time that trip in her Minnie Mouse dress which created some interesting pictures that you wouldn’t get anywhere else – such as someone sitting on a Star Wars speeder bike while wearing a Minnie Mouse dress?
Now, granted this picture was taken before Disney purchased Lucas Film and the rights to Star Wars so you will probably start to see more things like this as time goes on but before that you really wouldn’t see places where franchises mixed. Hollywood Studios is a special place where you can see Disney, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Muppets, etc – most places you see one franchise. The mixing of franchises is pretty cool and allows for some cool mashups and images.
Basically – Why can’t you wear a Minnie Mouse dress on a speeder bike? Frankly from a child’s perspective it makes perfect sense and they will mix and match franchises all the time when they are playing – it is only as adults that we feel the need to keep them compartmentalized and that limits our imagination.
That is my Thinking Disney Thursday thought for today – don’t place limits on imagination.
