Space Shuttle Over Disney. "The Dreams that Come True"

This Morning, the Space Shuttle Disco very was launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, and waiting inside the Magic Kingdom was photographer Kent Phillips to get this amazing shot. After everything that Disney does to theme everything, there are just a few things that they can not touch. But for some reason, this image of the space shuttle soaring high above the castle fits the theming of Disney on the spot. One might say that it would fit the theming better in Tomorrowland, but as similar as Tomorrowland and the Space shuttle are (it actually fits into the theme of Tomorrowland) I feel that it goes much better with the castle. But why is this? Well, what does Disney Stand for? Making your dreams come true! Walt Disney once said "If you can DREAM it, you can DO it." And what is the success of the space shuttle based on... also peoples dreams coming true! The dream of going into space and exploringwhat so few people have seen. The castle, I feel, is the icon of Disney and as far as I see, the icon of working in order to reach your dreams. The space shuttle is the work of dreams coming true. The Symbolism in the picture is how "if you can Dream it" as represented by the castle, "you can DO it" as represented by Space Shuttle Discovery. You can reach for the stars "literally."
