Walt Disney World Walt Disney World is the most magical place in the world. There are four parks, and each one is a little bit different. Some have more rides, some have more shows, and some have more to look at. So what makes the four parks different? In this essay, I am going to compare my two favorite Disney parks, Epcot and Hollywood Studios, and see what each park has to offer when it comes to food, rides, and shows. The food in Epcot and the food in Hollywood Studios is both very good, but it is also very different. Epcot has a lot more cultural food, because there are different restaurants all through out the worlds that serve the foods that you would find in that country. If you go to Hollywood Studios you will find more restaurants that have themes from the different centuries, for example you would find 50's themed restaurants and restaurants that are themed from the future. Also there is a classic restaurant at Hollywood Studios that is themed to feel like you are at a drive-in movie. Both parks have your typical theme park quick service food of hot dogs, burgers, …show more content…
Both parks have a specific theme, and you can definitely see it in the parks. The theme of Epcot is technological innovation and international culture. Some examples showing the technological innovation side of Epcot are Mission Space, Test Track, and Living with the Land. These rides are all fun adventures where you get to learn a little bit of what it's like to be an astronaut, engineer, farmer, and scientist. When it comes to the international culture side of Epcot, there are rides like The Nordstrom and Donald’s Adventure through Mexico to show you what some different Cultures look like. Hollywood Studios has the theme of show business and the theme comes to life in all of the rides. Some of my favorites are The Rockin' Roll Roller-coaster, The Tower of Terror, The Great Movie Ride, and Toy Story
A basic of Disney theme parks is the Main Street USA zone. This section features highly in all of the parks, usually coming right after the entrance. Key services like Guest Relations are located in this section, inside the "City Hall" (HK Disney Source, 2014). There are a number of elements to the Main Street, USA exhibit, and these will be discussed along with the history of Main Street USA in this paper. In particular, how the different elements of Main Street USA work together are covered. The concept has proven to be long-lasting, even across cultures, because of its magical portrayal of idealized American life, which draws heavily on Walt Disney's own childhood experiences.
In Greek mythologies Heracles and Disney’s Hercules there are many differences that can be spotted. A few of which I will be discussing are when he is a Demi-God, meeting Meg, and when he does his twelve labors. There are also similarities between the two and I will discuss two of which discusses his strength and how he was a Demi-God in both forms of Heracles. Although Greece’s Heracles and Disney’s Hercules have differences, they also have similarities.

...ow was planned to test solutions to problems that riddled society at that time. Disney died before his planned community could ever begin construction, but as we all know EPCOT did end up being built in 1979, but for reasons other than social living. The authority and control that EPCOT represented clearly exemplified a true heterotopia. The heterotopia of EPCOT was truly intended to fix the problems that societies faced at the time by not just looking toward the future, but by living in it.

I have seen Mary Poppins once; however, it was very long ago, so I am not very familiar with it. I remember bits and pieces; I can sing the songs but I can’t truly recall the whole story. Nonetheless, I am familiar enough to be shocked at how different the movie is from Travers’ original work.
The figures of attendance at the Universal Studios as compared to Disneyland state that the former’s annual attendance is less than even half of the later.
While most just think of Walt Disney as the creator of the Disney movie empire and the Disney theme parks, those such as author Steven Watts, who think more deeply about Disney, consider him to be the “influential architect of modern America” (Watts, p. 4). While the genius of Walt Disney has affected many aspects of American, and now overseas, cultures, his empire has had a significant impact on what people experience during childhood.
Think of a children’s movie or two. Maybe a Disney or Pixar movie first comes to mind; or maybe a movie with “real” actors. Who are the good guys in this movie? Who are the bad? This should be easy to answer given a basic knowledge of the movie. Now who are the “good guys and bad guys” in life? Not as easy to answer. Of course, comparing fictional stereotypes to real people does not make all that much sense. Most people can obviously tell the difference between watching a movie and events happening in life. The distinction is clear. Yet children are different. They can still distinguish from the fictional and reality, but are more exposed to and influenced by the portrayals movies can impose.
The debate over the good and bad aspects of Disney movies has been going on for years. It has become a part of pop culture in a way never expected through things such as YouTube videos and meme’s. While looking at multiple Disney movies may give a wider range of example of both the good and the bad in Disney movies, to help depict the effects the movies actually have on kids it is most beneficial to study just one movie. Zia’s essay argues that Disney movies have a good influence on children by teaching them good life morals. However, one of her examples, Mulan, is not an example of achievement through hard work like Zia explains, but rather a change made through magic, and example of the horrible historical inaccuracies made in Disney movies and the lack of parental respect that they teach children.

According to Giroux (1996), animated movies are a part of children’s culture. Children’s culture consists of entertainment, artifacts, myths, etc. that are based around the notion of what it means to be a child. Animated movies, particularly Disney films, encourages the child’s imagination and fantasy to be enhanced, creates a drive within them to go on adventures and helps them develop an aura of innocence. Animated films are “teaching machines” (Giroux, 1996, p. 66). Disney films teach children about specific roles, values and ideals and also take them through the world of enchantment. It helps them to understand who they are and what it means to be a part of the society and an adult environment (Giroux, 1996). Disney characters are a reflection
Universal Studios is also known for its theme parks that highlight the productions of film and television outputted by their studios, these being located in Hollywood, Orlando, Japan and Singapore.
For decades Disney has been the source of happy endings, fairytales, and family friendly stories for children of all ages. These stories range from realistic and familiar, to the eye-catching magical fairytale. The key to each of these stories are the happy endings brought about by each of the characters unique personalities and dreams. Disney’s films are attempted to provide children with the basic understanding of wrong versus right, but instead influences our society’s beliefs and awareness. Although Disney’s efforts to provide the basic morals to our children are misleading and affect our society strongly, they also contain the use of racism in a form which shows the major differences between characters. The once admired and well-known characters are seemed to be recognized by their species, ethnicity and even their social class. Disney films have taken out of context and have persuaded their viewers understanding of racial stereotyping, which is thoroughly explained in Henry Giroux and Grace Pollock’s novel, The Mouse that Roared. They bring awareness to the underlying racial stereotyping in Disney films, which deeply affect our societies understanding today. Giroux and Pollock bring into perception these admired and regularly watched films through precise examples and racist rendering of the specific characters species and ethnicities which strongly influence our society and lead children to intake these negative influences.
