One Man’s Hero
While we were in Disney’s Hollywood Studios, our family stopped by Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream. It wasn’t really a planned stop, at least not at the time. We were heading for Toy Story Mania. When we found out that it was down, we decided to spend our time in Walt Disney: One Man’s Dream…
