Sitting, waiting, thinking about how after 60 years I'll be going back to the happiest place on earth. Its October 1, 2016, the 60th anniversary of the grand opening of Walt Disney World. I'm with my family waiting to board the plane to go to Orlando, Florida. My family as well as myself live in the state of Nevada. It's been years since I went to Florida, 60 years to be exact. I have been to Disneyland in California, but that's not the same. I was sixteen when I attended the first day Walt Disney world's grand opening in Orlando, Florida happened. I remember going with my parents along with my brothers and sisters. On this very trip to Orlando today it's my children and grandchildren. Boarding the Plane eager to get to Florida already I take …show more content…
For starters, instead of the long lasting line handing in tickets as we first walk in we have Magicbands. Its when we wear a bracelet and scan a post that allows us to walk in. I mean this is 2016 more electronics have been developed so I know they updated a lot since 1971. Getting on the Disney bus driving threw Orlando to get to Disney brought back many memories. Like the first time I came here with my family…I was sitting in the car looking out the window watching everything pass by with my family talking in the background. I can tell by their voice they were super excited, It feels really special that we are one of the first to witness and experience the first opening of Disney. My parents say it’s going to be filled with people from all around because this place is becoming so popular since its new. We are staying at one of the new hotels they build in Disney. It’s called The Contemporary Resort they said in the hotel it has a Top of the World restaurant & Gulf Coast Room restaurant. I heard they have many rooms that's going to be used. I remember being in the car driving for so long in a really long like it's never going to end. We sat in the car for hours and I was very uncomfortable. When we finally got ot the hotel it was crazy busy checking in was a hassle. They told us that there were 1046 rooms being used, thats alot of rooms with people staying in them and we are in one of
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.
The sound of music, filling the air with happiness, resonates throughout the area. The scent of delicious buttery popcorn and glazed turkey legs that go on for miles and miles. The feeling of excitement coming into the place is felt in the atmosphere. It is the image of a once in a lifetime moment. When people come in, their imaginations become reality. The name describes itself perfectly. Walt Disney World is the place of dreams and imagination. People come from all around the world to see the rides, characters, food and the entertainment of Walt Disney World. I remember when I went to Disney World this past March. It was the third time I have gone to Disney World. To see the amazement and the expectation of the
Disney world is a place designed for uncountable amounts of excitement and making memories. I had an unforgettable experience, because of the beauty of magic Kingdom, the Heart arousing of Bush gardens, and the almost unreal sites of universal. I will never forget the time I had on senior trip, and I hope visit again
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. These systems that Disney World holds exclusively are the Magic Band, Fastpass+ and the Utilidors. The Magic Band system is a recent addition to the Disney World resort that most definitely separates itself from Disneyland in a sense of the ease it gives guests. According to Disney themselves, Magic Bands are colorful wristbands that are “actually an all-in-one device that effortlessly connects [guests] to all the vacation choices [they] made with My Disney Experience” (“MagicBands & Cards”). Essentially, Magic Bands put together many small individual belongings such as room keys and paper fastpass slips, to make guest’s experience at the park more effortless. Each MagicBand can also be customized with a different color or even design to add more fun for each family member during their trip. Magic Bands aren’t the only relatively new system added to Disney World; the addition of Fastpass+--which correlates with Magic Bands--also makes guests experience easier. Once again coming from Disney, “FastPass+ service allows [Guests] to reserve access to select Walt
So have you ever been to Disney World? Most of you probably have been there. I didn’t go to Disney World until November of last year with my family. I wasn’t sure what it would be like, but it was incredible. It was a lot of fun, and it was a great experience because I was with my family.
With my family’s annual trips to Walt Disney World, every time it appears the same, nothing has changed, except for yourself. Disney make us feel as if time is infinite, that we did not and will not grow up. It is the stories that you listened to as a child, coming to life. It is a place where your imagination is limitless. It is a place that is eternally optimistic for the future as it portrays a world with endless possibilities. As you enter the park you are completely cut off from the outside world; all the chaos, and stress is gone with each explosion of a firework over Cinderella’s Castle. Disney does a thousand things 1% better making magic a reality, and happiness a necessity. Everything is meticulously planned and executed. Whenever we leave Walt Disney World, my brothers and I claim to have PDD or Post Disney Depression as time catches up and the real world sets in. The Walt Disney Company has influenced my perception of the world by putting a permanent smile on my face from the beginning of the trip to the end, giving me memories that I will carry with me for the rest of my life, and inspiring me to make my dreams come
It has been every child’s dream to visit the happiest place on earth since the word ‘Disneyland’ had been uttered. Disneyland is a place where the stories created by Walt Disney Studios come to life and allow the visitor to be a part of these wonderful tales.The famous theme park has created millions of joyous memories for every family that has entered through its gates. But the main question is,why was one of America’s most famous travel destinations created? All though the Walt Disney Company makes a large profit off of Disneyland each year, it is obvious the theme park was created for the entertainment of the American family because of the resources and the amount of detail that was put into the project.
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.
“To all who come to this happy place; welcome. Disneyland is your land. Here age relives fond memories of the past...and here youth may savor the challenge and promise of the future. Disneyland is dedicated to the ideals, the dreams and the hard facts that have created America...with the hope that it will be a source of joy and inspiration to all the world”, said Walter Elias Disney as he gave his opening speech at Disneyland, Anaheim in 1955. Disneyland was a place that was welcomed to everyone. Disneyland became an inspiration to the American people by peaking curiosity and adventure to children.This family- friendly amusement park gave those who entered it, the opportunity to expand their minds from technology, to history, adventures and
Only at Walt Disney World is it possible to time travel, explore the cultures of countries around the world, visit lands of fantasy and adventure, and meet classic Disney characters. Walt Disney World offers slower paced rides for the little ones that are not yet tall enough for the main rides, thrilling rollercoasters for more adventurous folk, as well as rides that tell a story to the riders, and they offer handicap‒accessible rides for people of all different abilities. Personally, my favorite ride is Space Mountain. It is fast, thrilling, and being in the dark adds to the exhilaration! More importantly, the most magical part of Walt Disney World is the chance to meet classic Disney characters. Guests can meet Mickey Mouse and all of his friends, as well as visit the princesses in their castles. Every time I visit Walt Disney World, I wait in line to meet my absolute favorite Disney princess‒ Ariel. I first met her as just a little girl, but I still get excited now, at 19‒years‒old, to meet my favorite princess. Clearly, no matter the age of guests, visiting their favorite attraction or meeting their favorite character can brighten their
Walt Disney World’s first theme park, Magic Kingdom, opened up in 1971 to be extremely successful. Families enjoyed visited Disney World because it was a clean, safe environment that changed the Orlando area forever, bringing in more tourists than ever before. “The park hit capacity and was forced to close its gates for the day only a month after opening, on the day after Thanksgiving in 1971, and building could not happen fast enough to keep up with the ever increasing demand,” (“DISNEY TIMELINE”). Disney World needed new ideas to keep the guests happy and visiting again. The building of a new theme p...
Even before you enter Disneyland itself, it feels as if you are in a Disney movie. As soon as they scan your ticket and you walk through the booth, you are welcomed by a huge flower display that is in a shape of a Mickey Mouse, and if you’re lucky you might meet a character. Once you walk past the flowers, you hit Main Street USA. Main Street USA looks like it’s straight out of a movie; they have a city hall where you can get pins, stores galore, and characters at just about every corner. As you move about the amusement park, each area has an individual theme.
As expected, most children love the thrill and excitement of Disney World. It's also a great place for your aging parents to enjoy and be around the energy of such child-like wonder. Make sure to keep all medications, wheelchairs and lots of water in tow. Keep a map available to know where the restrooms are and keep snacks, sunglasses and sunscreen on hand as well. Try to choose a time when it's not scorching hot for a more enjoyable time.
Ever since I was about six years old, I wanted in the worst way to go to Disneyland. I would hope every year that my parents would chose Disneyland as our next family vacation destination. I dreamt of the day I would come back from Disneyland with exciting tales of adventure and a pair of sparkly, ruby red and black Minnie Mouse ears of my very own that would be the envy of every kid in my elementary class. Once I finally went to Disneyland, it was amazing; Disneyland was everything I had expected and more. However, a couple years later when I returned to Disneyland, it was different. The rides, buildings, and everything in the park did not have the same allure. The magic I had experienced as a child was no longer there.
When I heard my parents talking about going to Disney World I was so excited. It was a long trip down to Florida and I could not sit still, because I was so excited. We finally arrived that evening and decided to stay in a hotel near the theme park. When it was time for bed I could not go to sleep for a long time, because I was so excited about going at Disney world. When I saw the big mirror ball from the entrance, I was amazed. Disney world had a wide variety of rides. There were tons of rides that shocked me. Some of these rides made you feel like you were riding in a jet because of how fast they were. There was even a roller coaster ride in the huge mirror ball. It was a slow ride, but I still liked it because there was air conditioning inside the ball. We spent all day at the park until we had ridden everything. That night Disney World had a firework show. The fireworks seemed like they lasted forever with the amazing colors bursting in the air one right after another. When the firework show finally ended my parents told me that it was time to leave. I was...
