As a kid at DL I used to OBSESS over It's a Small World. I think I would nag and nag until we finally went on the ride. I LOVED everything about it- including watching the clockworks operate while in the queue. I even had a 45 that I played on the record player- over and over again. I used to know all the words in the foreign languages on my record. (yes....I am dating myself!). My dad will still occasionally comment on how it drove him crazy. I even had gas station collectable dolls of the world that I was sure were the IASW dolls. FREE with a fillup!!!
So we are taking our family to WDW and my parents are joining us for a portion of the trip. They'll tour MK and delight in the magic with their grandkids- ages 7 & 9. I'm sure ONE of my four 7 year olds will LOVE IASW as much as I did.
So now, 40 years later, I want to have some fun with him.
I'm thinking about telling him that our touring plans are designed around multiple rides on IASW because I know how much he loved to ride when I was a little girl. We may get our girls ramped up on this, although they don't know what I'll be talking about.
So to add to the fun, I'd like to make my dad a shirt and could use some ideas.
Pictures, quotes, anything. Some thoughts I have:
"I can't wait to ride It's a Small World"
"It's a Small World is my FAVORITE ride"
"It's not WDW until I've ridden It's a Small World"
Get the picture????
I should mention that he likes people to THINK that he's a crabby old man. He would be perfectly happy wearing a "Grumpy" shirt. He'll also be as much a kid as my 9 year old DS. They'll likely be "coaster buddies".
Would love any ideas or inspiration.
