A Message from Riley that Meant the World to Us
🕑 Added 2024-04-26 22:26:39 +0000 UTCThis particular comment on Facebook really touched everyone with The Pro Channel and That Park Place. I thought I would share:
I firmly believe that God puts us in the right place at the right time...often. Today, that was being on the members-only portion of the live show.
For the past 7 years, I have owned a bakery. And then last September I very clearly heard God say, "I've got something else for you." So I finished the orders I had left, and closed my doors. Because when God leads... you follow.
Very quickly, He put two things in my path. One of which was to start a travel agency. I personally love to travel, and find joy in planning the details for my own family. But I had no experience doing it for someone else.
I jumped right in on January 1st and learned as much as I could. I got certified in all of the places, launched socials, and became official.
Here's why today meant something special to me:
My travel agency is named Expedition Elias. I feel a deep calling to help families have fun together... like Walt's own original dream. I greatly understand that the family unit is under attack, and I want to do my part to fight against that.
I have been wrestling with the idea that, along with many other places, I truly want to help families go to Disney as well. But... well I'm aware of the current culture. So I was kind of nervous with the idea of it seeming hypocritical to suggest that Disney is still a viable option for families.
But your answer tonight - when you described what it feels like to walk through Walt's childhood and into his imagination... it gave me the refresh I needed! You are 100% correct, and I thank you for taking the time to share that beautiful indescribable feeling. And now I know how to convey that to families who might have reservations like I did. There is still magic to be made. And Walt's dream is one worth saving.
Keep up the phenomenal work, team. I am a big fan... and hope to partner with you one day soon!

Absolutely love the website! You all are doing god's work. Keep it up. We'll get our hobby back if we have great outlets like you all calling out the double standards and hypocrisy.
