The Art of Goodbye

Goodbyes seem to be the main theme of the Disney College Program. Even Hollywood Studios is getting in on the farewells; bidding adieu to many of its attractions with the promise of "big plans". 

Before the Animation building (that was the one with the characters and drawing classes) was forced into retirement Alex and I drew a classic character. 

He's got floppy ears,

a hat,

a distinctive laugh

and his name starts with G for Goofy. 

This is Alex's artwork. 

Here is my masterpiece. Before you judge, remember many art movements like Surrealism and Cubism were considered a little off at first too. 

Before art class Alex and I had a history lesson with our viewing of One Man's Dream. 

We thought it best to experience the film that encapsulates the origins of our workplace. You just never know how long a dream will last, especially at Hollywood Studios. 

For some reason I'm writing this post in backwards chronological order. Before the dream production Alex and I took a lovely summer stroll (read sweaty stumble) across the Boardwalk. 

"Why the journey across the Boardwalk?" I hear precisely nobody ask. Well, we had just downed lunch at Chefs de France in Epcot and thought we'd hobble in the heat, rather than bus it. 

Here I had half a burger (because diet) and some salad. 

Alex had salad and sorbet. 

Before lunch we found ourselves on a Transtar bus, which brings me to the beginning of my adventure with Alex that day. 

Goodbye to you (my three regular readers) for now, but #byeforeverseeyounever to the Animation Building. Thanks for the memory.
