Days of a Domestic Dad disclosure travel

Earlier this year when I attended the #InsideOutEvent media trip, we finished our adventure at the Walt Disney Family Museum. The family museum was a very humbling, but inspiring place to be. I was able to walk through and walk away with some important Disney history. So without telling too much about the museum, because you need to visit, I want to share the 5 things I learned.

Walt Disney Family Museum

5 Things I Learned While Visiting the Walt Disney Family Museum

  • Film distributor Charles Mintz contracts Walt Disney Studios to create a new series of animation films based on an undeveloped character, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit. As the distributor for the cartoons, Mintz owns rights to it. When the series succeeds and Walt asks for a larger budget, Mintz asserts trademark rights and tries to take over Walt Disney Studios. Walt abandons the character.

  • Walt creates Mickey Mouse. He joins the vanguard of the talking-picture revolution when he produces Steamboat (Willie, an innovative cartoon that synchronizes sound and animation. During the next year, Mickey becomes a national sensation.
  • Disney Studios develops a sophisticated multiplane camera that simultaneously shoots several levels of cels and backgrounds and gives depth to its films.The Studio uses it in a “Silly Symphony,” The (Old Mill, and then in Disney’s first feature-length animated film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.Walt Disney Family Museum
  • Disney Studios releases Dumbo, which is a modest commercial success. The animators at the studio strike and unionize.
  • Walt Disney Studios purchases land in Orlando, FL for EPCOT, the Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow, a foreshadowing of the New Urbanism movement, which also leads to the creation of Walt Disney World.

Overall, as I was walking through the museum you could get this vibe that Walt was a progressive thinker, or visionary. It is unfortunate that Walt Disney left us before finishing his last grand piece of Tomorrowland.

First thing’s first, remove all distractions bef First thing’s first, remove all distractions before driving your car. I’ve partnered with @TxDOT to remind you that all distractions – whether texting, eating, grooming, having a conversation, etc. – can be dangerous. #ad   That is why my family and I are also taking the AT&T It Can Wait pledge at http://www.ItCanWait.com/ to never drive distracted. Will you join us?   #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #ItCanWait

As I get older and wiser as a dad of 5, I realize parenting is mostly about preparation. That is why I am proud to partner with @TxDOT on educating my daughters about distracted driving.    As a young guy, I found myself preparing to be a dad, or at least a good dad. Now I find myself preparing my children to be good people and safe drivers on the road. Jaci and I have been going over distracted driving prevention tips and having a little fun with the new web-based AR game – Dart Those Distractions. It helps promote safe driving in a fun way.   Check out the link in my bio to play. #HeadsUpTexas #EndTheStreakTX #ad
