"What a beautifully day," I say, looking out the window of my apartment on Main Street U.S.A. Many years ago, I created something that would change how people would entertain themselves.

For me, Nelson's comparisons of Disney's Epcot and the World's Fairs of 1893 and 1939 transformed the Fairs from alien events to tangible ones. I was able to recount my experiences at Epcot and develop a personal connection with the Fair's that inspired Disney as I read Nelson's passage. I remembered that when visiting Epcot, I am often attracted to the World Showcase rather than the mechanical and futuristic attractions in the other half of the park.

Then, it all came crashing down, and DisneyLand was abandoned and forgotten in history. It all started because of one peculiar ride, Small World. Small World was a children’s ride where you ride in a wooden boat along the water. Small to-like animatronics would pop up and dance and sing.
