Why Mr. Toad?
it wasn't the most popular movie or character or story
and yet it's one of three dark rides that made it to opening day of Disneyland.
Of the three things
Walt wanted people to feel in Fantasyland
Snow White brought drama
Peter Pan offered beauty
but Mr. Toad gave people joy
reminding them that they could still laugh
surprising them on purpose.
Mr. Toad doesn't live in Fantasyland
because he was popular
he's there because he's necessary
we need him
a little mania to balance the mundane
and to remind us
that just because things don't turn out as we planned doesn't mean we can't still find joy in unexpected places
the key is to keep driving until we find it
believing that eventually our nowhere in particular
will become the somewhere we were meant to be.
