It's easy to spend too long trying to figure out the best place to spend your next vacation. In fact, spending hours on a computer looking at different options, half of which might not even be attractive to yourself, could be just enough to give yourself a headache.
But then think about what you hear about most often, when visiting a theme park within the Continental United States.
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.

This enables you to continue your stay another fantastic day.
But that doesn't necessarily mean Disney is absolutely the only way to go. If you're by chance a Harry Potter fan, then it would be doing yourself great injustice not to visit Universal Orlando. Universal Orlando is a park also located inside Orlando, Florida. An endless number of themed attractions await you there. One of the newest ...

Disney World is an educational wonderland. Disney World was founded October 1, 1971 by Roy O. Disney and Walt Disney. It wasn’t even thought of until four years after the first park Disneyland was opened in Anaheim, California. Walt Disney productions began looking for land for a second park and eventually found the perfect spot. Disney World is an entertainment complex in Orlando, Florida with four distinctly themed amusement parks, two water parks, and over ten resorts. According to Disney’s millions of guest, it is the master of “edu-tainment,” a way of entertaining and educating guest at the same time. Disney has a large selection of ways to “edu-tain” its guest.

My opinion though is that Universal Studios Orlando is awesome and fun that a lot of people will enjoy. Some information about Universal Studios is that it has a lot of different types of rides. They have different sections of the park with different types of themes like the Harry Potter theme. That is one of its biggest attractions to the park. There is so much to do at the park you can go on rides, eat at restaurants, or just walk around the park
In the recent times, another castle which has come to the limelight in California is Universal Studios Hollywood, which has risen in heaps and bounds and is currently poised to threaten the position and the royalty of Disneyland as the premier theme park.

At last, we’re in Florida! But, before the fun can start, we have to do some other stuff. We have to take my grandfather to our relatives in Miami. So, we now have to drive 4 hours from Orlando to Miami cramped up in the white van.
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.
There is an immense amount of rides in Walt Disney World. Some of the most famous rides are The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Space Mountain, and the Rock 'n' Rollercoaster starring Aerosmith. Also known as The Tower of Terror, this incredibly detailed attraction takes people very high up so they can see out the window for just a second, until it drops them to what seems like their doom. This is done repeatedly, until the ride comes to stop. Another thrilling ride is Space Mountain. On this mostly pitch black journey, riders are pulled into action in ups and downs. Another exhilarating
When people go on religious pilgrimages, they make sure and stop at important sites in regard to their religion to venerate and pay homage to these sites. According to Guest, a pilgrimage is, “ a religious journey to a sacred place as a sign or denotation and in search of transformation and enlightenment. When people go to Disneyland, people make sure to visit certain parts of the park they think are special either because they are famous or are special to them for some certain reason. For example, some visit the Walt Disney Statue with Mickey next to him since its symbolic to Disney. Some visit their favorite ride because it brings them back memories of their
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
