Disney Springs

The first day we got there we just hanged out at the hotel all day. It was 78 degrees Fahrenheit and sunny. It was 8AM in the morning when I saw the pool. Now at first I was very disappointed that it was shutdown because they needed to put chemicals in it. At 11 it finally opened up and I was WOWED. The Pool was amazing. It was sparkling Blue and the water was as clear as glass. That's why we stayed in it all day. The second day we went to Sea World. We hadn't been to Sea World yet until that day where we learned why it's one of the best Disney parks. We entered at the gate where we saw the ride of a lifetime The Manta. The Manta is a ride that makes you go backwards on almost the whole ride. It is the scariest ride I have ever seen. None of my family did that for just that reason. First we went to the Dolphin show which was really cool. It was so cool because the actors and actresses would jump into the water and the Dolphins would come out and do tricks on them like skiing on top of them, and making them wave to the crowd. Then we to another show which is called Shamu. Shamu is a show about Wales that do all these tricks like splash us. I forgot to tell you but Garrett, Chloe, and I were all sitting in the splash zone and we were watching the Wales do all these tricks when the Disney people told us to get ready and Garrett and I didn't have enough time to react and two seconds later all of a sudden we got tsunamified, so soaked that there wasn't a single dry spot on my shirt. After that Chloe started crying and I had to bring her up to mom and dad who were in the last row of the stadium. Chloe was not happy for that part of the trip at Sea World. After both those shows it started raining so we finished up are day at going in a virtual helicopter and seeing all the Penguins and the Arctic Animals which was pretty cool. As soon as we got in the pilot we cranked that baby up until the heat felt like Florida instead of Maine. Speaking of Maine

The first thing that you see when you walk into the actual park is Magic kingdom. Magic kingdom feels truly magical. There is a giant castle, Cinderellas castle, where you can have a royal feast with all the princesses and look over the park during the day or night. My family had a late reservation, and we would walk out and see the entire park light up without one single person. On our 3rd day my mom dragged me onto the Everest ride, one I was dreading. Everest is a big mountain with a fun scene and the most popular ride not including space mountain, but we will get to that later. Mount Everest was so fun in the beginning i tried to back out but once we got close my mom told me that i had to ride time ride the ride because she knew i would love it, i was just too scared.(the ride is huge and looks really scary, so you can't blame me) The ride went up into a cave and the saw a monkey trying to grab you because it looked like the track were broken, so he was taking on his food i guess. At the first moment you think that you are going to go backward down the giant hill you see when you pass it, but the secretly change paths and then you go down the giant hill

A spring is a point where underground water emerges onto the Earth’s surface (Scott et al, 2004, p. 354). Florida springs are an important resource throughout the state: recreation, agricultural, public supply, and so forth. Indeed, many Florida springs have historical prominence in their respective regions. Florida’s karst topography is truly unique; the state’s bedrock is composed of limestone (and some dolostone), which formed over eons and is the remains of deceased sea creatures. This limestone is very susceptible to dissolution, and over time water has seeped through the bedrock to form underground aquifers. When parts of these aquifers reach the surface, a spring is formed. Anthropogenic activities can influence the health of Florida’s springs. For example, stormwater runoff can carry many harmful chemicals to springs. Florida’s springs are connected to the Floridan aquifer -- the underground drinking water source for much of the state’s residents. The importance of Florida’s springs goes beyond environmental processes. To further the scientific pool of knowledge, enhance public understanding, and clarify current gaps in the current state of knowledge related to Florida springs, it is important to analyze existing data; this paper aims to contribute to all of

It was carrying a lot of people from all over the world. I have never been so excited in my life to go to one place. The anticipation was so overwhelming and once again, I could not wait to get to the resort. After a twenty minute bus ride we got to the resort. Once I stepped off the bus I could remember seeing the beautiful palm trees and feeling the heat of the sun beating on my face. I said to my dad, finally we made it and let the fun begin. We got settled and checked into the hotel. My brother and I decided to check the rest of the resort out. The resort had a crystal clear pool with a bar in it. It was amazing and I have never seen anything like it before in my life. The resort also had ten gourmet restaurants and plenty of entertaining things for us kids to do. So, after we did this we went back to our hotel and stayed in for the night. We were beat and just wanted to get some sleep from the long day of

I was three years old and I was driving with my Dad. The song "Like You were Dying" by Tim McGraw. My Dad was touched by the song and released how short life actually was. My Dad rushed us home and told my Mom we were going to Disney World. My grandparents were called and asked if they wanted to come with us. They did we all packed our bags. We spent four days in the Parks. I don't remember much, but we stayed in the Animal Kingdom Lodge. My favorite part was maybe the dress my Grandma made for me, a beautiful Sleeping Beauty pink dress. Pictures of me and my family around are my favorite pictures to look at in our scrapbooks. Overall, I love all Disney Parks. It is really hard for me not to love one. Hopefully, I can finish my goal for my blog, and include more different blogs for you all to

I was able to go to Busch Gardens because I was apart of the Chorus and that year in Busch Gardens we ended up placing in first place beating billion's of chorus groups and we got a superior rating which is the highest type of rating we could get. Not only that, but I recall it being a good year for the band too, all the bands had gotten a superior rating but only the Wind Ensemble placed first in the competition, sadly the Jazz Band placed second that year. Additionally, this trip was three days and two night which was longer than the other one and we had a cruise ship, we had a pizza party, and a day of traveling, making it one of the best music trips I go to. However, this was not the last time I went on a Music in the Parks trip, my eighth grade year I went to Dorney Park in Pennsylvania, and I was able to go to the state I took the liberty to avoid in sixth grade. Although the trip constructed was not the best in term of location and activities, it was my most successful year because I sang for the Chorus and the Jazz Chorus, and I played for the Jazz Band and Wind Ensemble. Not only that but, in that year I gained one of my biggest accomplishments in my life, out of millions of people in that competition I was chosen and awarded to be the best soloist out of everyone there leaving a memory I could never forget. When my name was called I jumped with joy, went to get my medal, and I shook the hands of the judges and the people who give out the

One where there were no worries and nothing bad could happen. One where no one bothered each other. One where everyone was happy go lucky and had a smile on their face. It rained every day on our trip and when it wasn’t raining it was ninety degrees, but that didn’t stop me from having a good time. I rode all the rides and took pictures with every character I came across. I even bought one of the mouse ear hats and wore it proudly. I didn’t have to worry about anyone judging me because they were doing the same. I realized Disney World was a place where you can have fun, let loose, and be a kid

When I was about 10 years old my family and I took a vacation to Florida to see my great aunt Linda. It was a 14 hour drive down to Florida which is a long time in the car. We were going down there for a week. For the first two days we went to Sea World in Orlando, Florida. I was very excited to see my great aunt because I have never met her before. I knew that I was going to have fun on this trip.

Driving from Newton Kansas all the way to Orlando Florida isn’t the easiest thing you know. It’s long and doesn’t come with a lot of stops if you’re having to do it with my parents. The trip itself is around a 20 hour drive but when you include stops and everything together it comes around to be a 24 hour drive. This doesn’t sound like fun and you’re very right if you’re thinking this. The trip is for sure worth it though, we were going to “The Magic Kingdom”. The place where kids that kids are super energetic and just want to finally meet Mickey Mouse. This was my first time ever going so of course i was excited and just wanted to be there already.

The best vacation I ever took, would have to be when I went to Cedar Point, Sandusky, Ohio. Cedar Point is an amusement park. My parents had gone a few years before that. I was about 11 years old the first time I went to Cedar Point. I was very short, (still am) and couldn’t go on all the rides. But I still had fun. We also went on a Ferry Boat ride. And went to a cave and and a “Butterfly Palace”.

I had been waiting all summer to go to cedar point and it had finally come. I was both nervous and excited at the same time. We packed the night before and left the next morning. It was a five and a half hour drive, but it was completely worth it. I sat in the back and waited. All I could think about was all of the rides. Finally we pulled up to the front and saw all of the rides. I could stop thinking of how much fun it was going to be. We stayed for a day and got fast passes to ride faster and get on more rides, but we only had them for the first day.

The day finally came, we got on a plane for Orlando. I had never been on a plane, I was pretty scared and excited at the same time. Once we landed, we got on a bus and went to our room that we stayed in for the week. It had a pool table and everything. The next day we were off to magic kingdom, the biggest park out of all the parks.

Another theme park that my family loved at Walt Disney World was Disney’s Animal Kingdom. They have so many great animals to see and their environments and trails are beautiful. One of my favorite things at Animal Kingdom was the Tree of Life. This massive tree is so realistic and the detail of all the animal carvings is astonishing. It too has a great parade, and amazing food. Our seven-day stay at Disney included lodging at the Disney’s Animal Kingdom Lodge, which added to our love of this park and

I remember planning for this day for about two years. When I would finally get the chance to be with my best friends and take a road-trip to California to go to Disney Land, and now that the time to take that trip has come and gone I would like to talk about my most important journey.

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
