Vacationing is a good way to spend quality time with family, friends, or even alone. What some people have trouble with is picking out where to take a vacation. Take Disneyland and Disney World for example. Disneyland and Disney World are both fun places to go, but they are on different sides of the United States. How would someone choose between them, if a vacation planner did not know the differences in the two? A good way to pick which one to go to is to budget out trips to Disneyland and Disney World and compare and contrast the two.

A budget is also a good way to plan ahead for a big trip to Disneyland and Disney World. It is a good idea to research this type of trip, as the time of the year can be very important. Factors can include higher or lower prices, heavier crowds, which affect the wait times in lines, and the weather, as it may be very hot and humid or into the rainy and severe storms season. Schools may still be in session, which helps the crowd levels at the parks to not be so bad, or, if schools are out already for the summer, the crowds will be worse. Certain times of the year can also affect the cost of gas prices, airline prices, food prices and hotel costs. During the peak season, prices will be a good bit
Disneyland was one of the first amusement parks ever to even charge an entry fee. When Disney land opened in 1955 single main entrance were free to enter with visitors purchasing tickets for each ride but Disneyland changed all that. Walt knew that an entry fee was necessary to keep out troublemakers and keep Disneyland from becoming free babysitting like many local parks were. Disneyland joint both systems, charging $1.00 for entry then selling ticket booklets for $2.25. Those ticket booklets contained eight rides including ‘A’ tickets were the cheap rides, the rides that no one really wanted to ride on, ‘B’ tickets were a little bit better all way up to the top of the line the ‘E’ tickets.

Looking at the surface of the films The Fox and the Hound and Monsters Inc, we probably would not see any similarities whatsoever. This is hardly the case once looking past the animated animals and monsters. The Fox and the Hound, which was released in 1981 by Disney, portrays a fox named Tod and a hound dog named Copper. Even though they grew up together, they are socially supposed to be enemies. They do overcome this stereotype at first as they become best friends and vow to forever. In the end of the film they stay friends, but end up living separate from each other. Each one living in the world that is socially acceptable to each animal. Similarity, Monster Inc., which was released in 2001 by Disney and
Disneyland “ The Happiest Place on Earth” where young and old , big and small build memories. Disneyland was founded on July 17, 1955. Disneyland has always been my favorite to go to on weekends with my family. Once I enter Disneyland I rush to my favorite ride “ Big Thunder Mountain Railroad”. Disney is known for their more classic rides such as: Small World, Peter Pan, and their Princesses rides. Each ride at Disney have their own movie, who wouldn't want to watch the movie and than attend the ride at Disney. I know I would. There are all kinds of rides at Disney, if you're in the more dangerous thrilling rides you can head over to “Twilight Tower of Terror”, and Splash Mountain. Waiting times at Disney are somewhat alike like Universal Studios. The waiting times are about thirty to sixty minutes, all depends if the ride if the most popular one. Disney does not offer the same “ Express pass” they offer “Fast Pass” which allows you to choose three rides to skip the long wait, and you have to arrive the time the “fast pass” gives you. While you're waiting in line you sometimes get hungry and the best part about Disney is that they have food stands in every ride with goodies like: ice

Since the grand opening in 1971, Walt Disney World has continuously brought dreams to life. Walter Elias Disney and his brother Roy Oliver Disney cofounded Walt Disney World in hopes of encouraging imagination among all attendees.

Recently, at Universal Studios, the Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened up. This magical land is based off of J.K. Rowling’s Harry Potter series, and includes fun rides, a Hogwarts replica, exciting shops, and even Moaning Myrtle in the bathrooms! This recent success is expected to help some, but hurt others. Disneyland might be seeing a loss of customers, due to this addition to Universal Studios. Disneyland is expected to lose business, but the wonderful land full of fairy tales has started competing for customers. Disneyland has started building a Star Wars themed development, the opening date has not been released yet. Who will win the war for service? Only time will
or perceived value is used to set the price of the service or good (Boundless, 2017). Demand-based pricing is well-known for being used in the hotel and airline industry. It was not until early 2016 when Disney decided to make the switch to this as well (Sampson, 2016). Ticket prices now cost up to 20% more during holidays and weekends (Barnes, 2016).

A three-tiered system based on the date of the visit was
You usually don't get to get too close to Disney and Pixar like that unless you're a celebrity or you're somebody on the inside or you know somebody. A lot of the journeyman work is done with a loop group, and they pick up different characters. Friends of mine do that, and they do great.

Have you ever used a tap-to-pay credit card or walked through an automatic door? Have you ever used the GPS on a cellphone or gotten shopping suggestions while browsing a shopping website? Chances are that anyone could answer yes to most of those questions, and if so they have potentially already been picked up by a big data system. Extremely similar techniques of collecting data are being used in the Disney World of today so that Disney can know where their consumers have been, what they look at, and what they buy. Imagine Disney as a shepherd who was struggling to keep up with his ever-growing “flock” of “sheep” — or the people visiting Disney World park and resort; Disney decided that in order to better manage the influx of guests he
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.
