Orlando's Special Magic

Thousand smiling faces enter,
thousand strained and weary leave,
and in between the hours of happy memories
are made and captured by a thousand phones
or cameras. Smiling couples walking
intertwined to stand in line an hour for
a ride that’s over in five minutes, but that’s okay.
The waiting is as entertaining,
watching people all around in every
shape and size and flavor, speaking in
a multitude of foreign languages around us.
Wheelchairs, scooters, strollers, multi-age
assistance so that everyone can ride
the movies, see the stars. Orlando may
not have monopolies on fun, 
but it knows how to deliver.
