I may add some New Fantasyland lines to this poem I wrote:
I saw a castle in the night
A fairy green take dazzling flight
I saw a tree clothed in life
And in its shadow, people free from strife
I saw a shiny geodesic sphere
And waving banners against sky so clear
I saw a massive sorcerers hat
And heard music, laughter, screams and happy chat
I saw buildings that belonged to other lands,
Children making masks with paper and crayons
I saw the welcoming riverside gate
And smiled through my check-in wait
I saw a bus packed to the gills
Heading for fantasy and magical thrills
I saw a sight I never thought to see
A prince upon his bended knee
I saw a princess and then some more
Who smiled and signed
twas not a chore
I saw a parade come trooping by
A favorite character I did spy
I saw a line swiftly disappear
And another that lingered through ropes that steered
I saw a ghost aboard my ride
As I turned and laughed with my child beside
I saw a familiar three circle shape
Hidden in architecture, path or landscape
I saw a wondrous juicy sight
A turkey leg Id love to bite
I saw a resort where Id like to stay
If only I had the money to pay
I saw many a camera take a shot
At preserving this moment and special spot
I saw shirt DISigns Ive seen before
Ones you cannot purchase at any store
I saw flowers and trees ablaze with hues
Of pinks, greens, reds, yellows and blues
I saw a dog, a bear, a mouse
Providing hugs at Mickeys house
I saw a lake or two or three
With shimmering waters, calm waveless seas
I saw balloons in azure sky
And another joined them bye and bye
I saw a pool yet felt true glee
Floating wandering river hope no one needs to pee!
I saw delight on grandparents face
Sharing together this uncommon place
I saw some pirates, can you believe?
These Walt himself helped to conceive!
I saw a lime green Mickey head
I DIS, Do You? It clearly read
I saw a child with ice cream bar in hand
And heard an enthusiastic marching band
I saw a boat come cruising by
And watched with calm and focused eye
I saw people garbed in fantastical attire
Both as heroes and as villains dire
I saw many tents and RVs too
From my campsite I was passing through
I saw some tired babies nap
In stroller or on loved ones lap
I saw and heard fireworks on high
As colors transformed a pitch black sky
I saw a show that brought delight
With music and dance and fanciful light
I saw hippos, giraffes and tigers at play
Animals, birds and bats and pachyderms of grey
I saw lights go on along Main Street
And a couple share a remembered treat
I saw many yawns at end of day
As families returned from hectic play
I looked, I saw and smiled wide
And mixed in with the human tide!
