On October 19, 2013 this little amazing person named Penelope Jane turned one, and that was when the Disney Vacation began. What child doesn’t like Mickey and Minnie growing up? my niece was absolutely obsessed with it, and for her 1st birthday my sister and brother in law didn’t want to throw some fancy party instead they wanted to make memories with their daughter and closest family members. In the photograph I chose it’s a group picture. It’s my sister, brother in law, my brothers, grandparents and most importantly my niece. We are all making funny faces, all snuggled up close together due to the freezing weather Orlando was having at that time. Behind us you will notice a bunch of bright lights, that was known as the Osbourne light show.
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
Walt Disney took every opportunity to assure that the guest would always feel as though they were in the show. Measures were taken to help block out the outside world so that the guest would not be distracted by reality while they were at one of Disney's theme parks or resorts. Details so small you need to go out of your way to notice, are
Little lights shine their way down the rugged winding path. Foot steps trudge in front and behind staying close together. Dodging thorns and burs left and right. Ouch!—Every time. Quiet laughs fill the silence as we continue on. Our trek takes us up a slippery slope and through a cow pasture and under a barbed wire fence and down a long tractor path all with the weight of our bags and rifles. Finally, we make it to where we head separate ways. As goodbyes and good lucks are exchanged, nerves set in. I brush them off as I head to my sixteen feet high tower hidden among the trees. I can’t see it in the darkness, but I know the location by memory. Soon, light catches orange tape constricted around cold steel—Found it. But I still have to climb all sixteen feet. I attach my lifeline to the stand as I
I volunteered at the Little Lights Urban Ministries. I had the pleasure of working with adults and kids but, majority were adults in a low income community. Little lights was founded in 1995 by Steven Park. Little Lights is located in Potomac Gardens public housing apartments in Washington DC. It all started off with Steven tutoring one child in an uptown neighborhood. Then he met his wife Mary and things started expanded. They started allowing 15 kids come over after school to do homework and bible study. Sometimes they would order pizza or buy chicken to feed the kids if they stayed over late. A couple of years later they was blessed with the main building and somebody donated a van for transportation. Steven then start his nonprofit and
Have one of you all ever been to Universal Studios Orlando? Ok,well my family took a trip to Universal last spring. It was my mom,dad,brother,and me.We laughed,screamed,and yelled.Ok then let's get on with it.
I was seven, I was in the hospital for two weeks because my appendix had just ruptured. I was 7 and the last time I went to Disney I was 2 or 4, I really don’t remember that’s the reason why I went because I didn’t remember it the parks or the rides or anything. What type of parents takes their 2 year old kid to Disney World? I mean seriously would you take you kid at that young of an age. My grandfather also realized that life was too short so he told my parents that he would take us to Disney World, but he said he would only pay for me and that my mom, dad, and my brother would have to pay for themselves.
There is a website on which one can upload a picture of themselves or someone they know and they will receive a Disney-fied version of the picture. Known specifically for its unrealistic portrayals of humans and society in their films, Disney is still considered the most influential film company in the world. Their films tend to lack substance and complex plot lines, yet their empire is globally renowned. From animated films, to theme parks, to live-action films, to action figures and universally known characters, Disney has established itself in the realm of media and product recognition. Throughout the years, their characters have become symbolic and easily identifiable across the globe. Parents cringe at the unrealistic expectations that Disney films present – the forerunner in the fairy tale with archetypical characters and a
Dakota your profiles is one of my favorites. I love how instead of interviewing a worker you interviewed your mom. No one would truly be able to give your story that special touch it needed other than your mom. Being able to get insight from someone who was really close to what was going on really brings your story to life. One comment I have would be to maybe talk about a specific memory that you will always remember. On a different note, my family loves disney world too! We are actually going over christmas break. No matter how many times we go the fun is always still there. I also know what you mean when you said "some of our biggest family fights, waiting in lines over three hours long, and spending countless amounts of money on overpriced
John Michael Osbourne more commonly known as Ozzy Osbourne was born on december 3rd 1948 to Jack and Lillian Osbourne.

Yeah! The crowd is screaming in the stadium. A bat just flew on stage and Osbourne grabbed it. As he was biting it, it started flapping its wings (Mudrian, 2009). Osbourne did many crazy things like this at his concerts. He was always spraying the crowd with water or doing some crazy thing. He was the craziest when he was on stage with his band Black Sabbath. Ozzy Osbourne’s legacy with his band, Black Sabbath, as well as his solo career, are defined by numerous awards, hit singles, and some crazy memories.
Since my very first trip, my fascination for Disney has led me to delve deeper and deeper into the fandom. At a younger age, my fascination was with the characters, rides and everything I could see in

The following photo is Madison on her way to see Alice and the Rabbit at Disneyland Paris. What an experience it was. There is nothing quite like meeting the characters at Disney, whether its Disneyland or Disney World. It's something that most parents, and kids alike, do to really make their trip unforgettable.

Positive social change should be intuitive to all of us as members of a free society and a culture that recognizes life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Our country was founded on those principles which community is a central tenant to our republic and to democracy itself. As American citizens we do not live in a vacuum, we live, work, and share common values amid a backdrop of various beliefs that creates a single entity which we call the American experience. These common threads are self-evident in our lives, and those values should also be instinctual in the landscape of our democracy. It should be common practice to lift your neighbor up when they are down; positive social change originated in our hearts and minds and disseminated
