And now, in a shameless plug for all of you to get the video called
"A Day at the Magic Kingdom - Walt Disney World", here are some
selected quotes from it (and perhaps it'll bring back memories from
your last trip to that happy land!).
 
We are now approaching the entrance to the Magic Kingdom.  Please
watch your step as you leave the monorail.
 
Welcome aboard the Nautilus.  We are proceeding on a course that will
take us on a voyage 20,000 leagues under the sea.
 
C'mon everybody!  It's off to Neverland!
 
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, start your engines!
 
Your attention please.  All astronauts should proceed to loading areas
A and B.  Passengers are now boarding for direct flight to Ryker One.
Report to your spacecraft for final liftoff instructions.
 
Hello everyone! Our gantry will arrive momentarily to lift us to the
launch platform. Be sure to follow your flight instructor's directions
and have fun!
 
You might say I'm sort of a commuter computer!
 
We have 999 happy haunts here, but there's room for a 1,000!
Any volunteers?
 
Welcome, folks, to the finest keel boat on the river.  'Course, it's
just about the only keel boat on the river, but even if there were a
dozen keel boats on this river, it'd still be in the top ten or twelve!
 
Hang onto your personal belongings now, especially them hats and
glasses, 'cause this here's the wildest ride in the wilderness!
 
Just up ahead there, my cousin Zeke's got a new cabin.  Looks like
Zeke's havin' a house warmin' party!
 
Heave to, maties!  You come seeking adventures of salty old pirates!
 
Give it to 'em again, lads!  Aye!  That'll show the bilge rat!
 
Shift yer cargo, deary... Show 'em yer larboard side...!
 
Aye, the redhead!  We wants the redhead!  We wants the redhead!
 
Quiet, ya scums!
 
Say, have ya set her eyes on a bewitchin' maiden in yer travels?
 
Inside, I say inside, you sit down on your tailfeathers.  You see more
than 200 flowers, Tikis, and all my relations.  Those amazing birds,
they come to life!
 
Okay, folks!  Slide allllll the way forward now.  That's how I keep
the seat cushions clean on this boat!
 
Well, welcome aboard, crew!  I'll be your skipper, alligator wrestler,
and swimming instructor on a cruise that could only happen here in the
Magic Kingdom.
 
Hey!  Look what we found... the secret bathing pool of the Indian
elephants! It's okay to stare, folks. They're all wearing their trunks!
 
Look out in the back!  This one looks a little angry!  Parents this is
a good time to hold up your kids to see the action.  They make great
shields!
 
Something tells me we're not out of the woods yet, because when you've
been in the jungle as long as I have, you begin to smell --
smell danger, that is!
 
We're entering crocodile country now, crew.  Danger lurks around
every bend in the jungle, so keep your favorite family members inside
the boat!
 
Surely this is the safest and most charming home in the world.
 
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, the Magic Kingdom proudly
presents SpectroMagic!
 
Ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, thank you for spending your day
at the Magic Kingdom.  It was Walt Disney's vision to create a place
where dreams, imagination, and happiness would come together for all.
We hope Walt Disney World has brought joy and inspiration, and new
knowledge to all who have come to this happy place, where the young at
heart of all ages can laugh, play, and learn together.

And as lagniappe (a New Orleans tradition to throw in a little
something extra), here are some moments from "Disneyland After Dark"
shown on the Disney Channel's "Walt Disney Presents":
 
"There's the old Mark Twain, comin' round the bend!  And like every
night, her passengers are having a ball!  You know, aboard the Mark
Twain, we have a real Dixieland combo.  We call 'em The Young Men From
New Orleans and they're real old timers who were down there when jazz
first came into being.  Lynette Moore is the singer with the group,
and incidently, I just saw Satchmo Armstrong down there waiting at the
dock.  So why don't you kids run along and get aboard, and really have
yourself a ball!  ...  Ah, why don't we all go down, well why don't
*you* all go down and I'll catch up with you later!"
 - Walt Disney, Disneyland After Dark
 
   "Listen, Satch, just think of it.  Imagine you being on the Mark
Twain, and welcome!"
   "Yeah, thank you, thank you!"
   "I know this seems like old times to you, doesn't it?"
   "It sure does.  It sure does."
 - Bandleader and Louis Armstrong, Disneyland After Dark
 
"We're gonna rock this old Mark Twain right on down to New Orleans!"
 - Louis Armstrong, Disneyland After Dark
