Mouse of Zen Monday

About the Column

A haiku is a highly structured poetic snippet consisting of three short phrases that together should trigger an image in your mind. You won't find haikus at Disney. You will find haikus about Disney every Monday on the Disney Dispatch written by JB Conway, author of the well-regarded book, Mouse of Zen, which of course is full of Disney haikus. What better way to step into your Disney week!

Haiku: Epcot April #2

The Christmas season is one of the most enjoyable times to spend in Disney World. The decorations are up, festive music plays, and 'snow' sometimes falls in the Magic Kingdom. But another treat awaits at Epcot, in front of the American Adventure...

The haiku theme for this month is Epcot April. Each week, JB Conway will evoke Epcot in haiku. Maybe it's a ride. Maybe a building. Maybe it's a scent or a sound. Whatever it is, JB's haiku will conjure it in your mind and make it real again.

I suppose I can't tease you with this one...

The Candlelight Processional, held each year at the American Gardens Theatre outside the American Adventure, combines a choir, live orchestra, and different celebrity narrators in a marvelous performance of the Christmas story.

Narrators have included Susan Lucci, Trace Adkins, Marlee Matlin, and many more.

This year, the Processional begins November 25 and ends December 30. For more:

By the way, if you haven't bought JB's book, Mouse of Zen, and yet you come here each week to read his haikus, why do you torture yourself? Are you a masochist? (Or maybe a mouseochist?) Don't you know you can get all the haikus at once? In the book!
