When anyone asks me, “Where is your favorite vacation spot and why?” I always reply with Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida, because I have so many family memories there. I have been to Disney World eight times, and I have enjoyed each trip tremendously. I have decided to interview my mother, Shellie Smith via Skype. Shellie has been to Disney World twelve times. Her first Disney World vacation began on September 16, 1990 while honeymooning with my dad. In this paper, I will be summarizing my interview with Shellie Smith. When it comes to planning a Disney vacation, Shellie knows the ins and outs of Disney World. In her opinion, early in December is the best time to go. She likes going to Disney early in December for several reasons. …show more content…

I asked Shellie, what is a fact that you know about Disney? According to Shellie, there are a series of tunnels that go throughout the Magic Kingdom that store computer rooms, costumes, and characters! Our family has become experts about planning Disney World vacations. I asked Shellie, what is one piece of advice that she would give families that are planning a Disney vacation? She thought about this question for a while and gave me an answer that would benefit families. Shellie stressed for families to use the dining plan option, because you can go to the most exquisite, upscale restaurants without paying for it! When you pay for the trip, you pay for the dining plan! Lastly, I asked Shellie, what are the most expensive things at Disney World? In her opinion, dinner shows, food in general, and water are the most expensive things at Disney. In 2013, our family drove to Disney World for my eighteenth birthday. One night, we were hungry and decided to go to McDonalds. McDonalds was about two miles from my hotel and I ordered a chicken nugget meal. That chicken nugget meal was almost eight dollars, compared to six dollars in Oklahoma City. We decided that the closer you get to Lake Buena Vista, the more expensive things

    Ever since I was a child, my family and I have been Disney fanatics. The Disney empire has created many amazing places, but my favorite location to visit is the Walt Disney World Resort. Every day 50,000 people from all over the world arrive at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida to experience the magic. When the park first opened its gates in 1971, 10,000 visitors made their way through. That number has multiplied five-fold and continues to multiply to this day. Since the 1971 opening, over 600 million people have experienced the magic of Disney. In my lifetime, I have visited the park with my family and friends six times. Each visit lasted four days in order to experience all the parks and their unique offerings. When I’m in Disney World, the experience each time is incredible.

    While famous celebreties proclaiming “I'm going to Disney World!” is indeed just an add campaign paid for by Disney themselves, it easily brings to mind all the memories of famous theme parks you remember. Safe to say, Disney is not the only force to be reckoned with. Indeed, there are many theme parks today. Surely, most of my audience has heard of Busch Gardens in Virginia, or Knott's Berry Farm in Southern California. The Six Flags Theme Parks always have a jaw dropping number of rides. But very few hold something for both young and old vacationers. Fewer still actually have a resort within them. Even fewer have parades every night. Only one theme park holds all these, and is also several Theme Parks within itself. Disney World is just such a place. The park may close at night, but that doesn't mean you can't rent a Pirates Of The Carribean Hotel Room inside the Disney World Hotel and Resort for the night.

  • Compare And Contrast Walt Disney World Resort

    This wide range of theming and cost cannot be found for Disneyland guests who are forced to choose out of only three hotels if they want to stay on property (“Discover Disneyland”). Because of Walt Disney Worlds extensive amount of hotels when compared to Disneyland, the resort is able to limit the problems faced towards families when booking a hotel. Furthermore, a similar concept can be seen with families looking to find a restaurant. Vacations for families are made easier--therefore more enjoyable--when they choose to visit Walt Disney World because of their exclusive systems, which are not found at the Disneyland Resort. Possibly because of the delay between the two parks or the general experimentation of Disney’s first park, Walt Disney World Resort has been able to adapt several concepts throughout the years that can change the guest experience.

  • Descriptive Essay About Walt Disney

    The Main Street station, is the curtains to a large production as if the Magic Kingdom was a theater. As I wander beneath the archway, I notice that above the arch is a plaque that reads: “Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy”. As I continue to stroll through the passage on the way to Main Street, there are posters of “upcoming attractions” that line the walls on both sides. I then step into Main Street U.S.A. and begin to hear the Victorian style orchestra playing over the speakers. I notice some Disney pals in Town Square greeting guests as if they were old friends. Then I begin to travel further down the street, and the smell of the caramel apples, chocolate chip cookies, and other sweets walk out of the open doors of the bakery and into the street. At the end of this turn of the century town, sits the one hundred eighty­nine­foot­tall, Cinderella Castle. This moment is a pivotal moment in any Disney vacation, because the castle is well known to millions. I get

    The 20th Century, in many ways, can be remembered as a time of scientific and technological revolution. The innovations and rapid growth in many areas of technology have cast doubt upon words such as ignorance and impossibility. This revolution also instigated new and/or radical ideas in the world of academia. The growth of post-modernism and its adherers in historical circles have caused quite a stir in dealing with the validity of many historical documents. Critical analysis of the subject of modernism and post-modernism can be simplified in one statement: What is our understanding of certainty?

  • Should People Get Their Own Food In The Movies?

    564 Words  | 2 Pages

    It is much cheaper to bring your own food, or buy it at the dollar store than to buy your food to the theater. For example, “Why pay $5 for M&MS when you can get then for several dollars cheaper at the corner store?” (O'Neil 16). This is significant because, the theaters make most of their money from their overpriced snacks, it would be much cheaper and better to save your money and go buy your food or candy at the dollar store or at a regular grocery store as well. Another example is, “Movie theater chains like Regal and AMC make huge profit margins on the sale of food and drinks at the concession stand.”

    The second I stepped foot onto the amusement park’s property, I could feel the magic swirling all around me. As I walked through the crowds of people young and old wearing Disney apparel and Mickey Mouse ears, everything seemed so enchanting: the cheerful music, the twinkly lights on all of the buildings, and the stores that could have been from my favorite Disney movies. Walking along the streets, I took pictures of everything around me because I did not want to forget a single detail; I took pictures of the vibrant yellow, red, and pink flowers that lined the streets, the buildings with intricate details and designs, and the massive roller coasters that glided so swiftly on their tracks. The air was filled with heavenly scents of sweet churros, and I had to get one; it was delectable. Everything at Disneyland seemed perfect and like it was out of a movie. Even as I was about to leave, I got drawn back in; spectacular, bright, colorful fireworks started bursting right over my head, and I could not bring myself to go. My first visit to Disneyland was truly enchanting and magical. At the time I thought no other vacation could
