In Memoriam: Orlando and the Power of a Dream

What exactly is an educational tour? It depends of course on where you go. Boston educational tours specialize in history and the passion and dedication involved in the building of our democracy and independence. New York City educational tours can focus on the arts, both historical and modern as well as the arts relevant to today’s entertainment industry.

Very recently, the world lost an incredibly inspirational soul, Randy Pausch. Randy was known for a beautiful lecture he gave shortly after learning that he was dying of a terminal cancer. The lecture later became a book, and it focuses on how to attain your dreams. This is a kind of education at which Orlando educational tours excel. Randy Pausch went to Disney World as a child and forever dreamed of being a part of that kind of technological innovation and artistry. After studying hard and reaching amazing career goals as a professor and creator of virtual reality techniques, Pausch was given his chance. He became a Disney Imagineer for a virtual reality attraction based on the animated film, Aladdin.

Disney inspires dreams every single day in its millions of world-wide visitors. Pausch was merely one of them. He is an amazing example of what can be achieved when dreams are combined with education and dedicated work. He will be greatly missed not just as one of the world’s finest educators but as a dreamer and an incredible inspiration.
