It can't all be magical

26 Reasons Disney World Is NOT The Happiest Place On Earth

"The happiest place on earth," also known as Walt Disney World. Over the years they have patented this illusion that they are the happiest place on earth, but I'm here to call their bluff. No place is the happiest place on earth, Disney included, and here is why.

1. Screaming children, they are everywhere.

2. It's hot and humid, all of the time.

3. Alligators, apparently they eat you.

4. Brazilian tour groups, trust me.

5. Food is overpriced, just because it is shaped like a mouse.

6. It is almost impossible to tackle everything Disney has to offer in just a week-long vacation.

7. Walt's head could possibly be frozen underground somewhere (and that is scary)

8. The icon is a mouse, which is just creepy.

9. College kids hold most of the jobs, including driving the boats and monorails.

10. There are lines. Everywhere, all the time.

11. Staying on property will break the bank, but staying off just isn't fun.

12. There are dead people ashes everywhere. No joke. This is a common thing.

13. There is said to be a ghost that haunts the pirates of the caribbean ride. He was a construction worker.

14. There isn't enough alcohol on premises to deal with all of the crying children.

15. Guests consume close to 2 million pounds of turkey legs each year. I found the obesity problem.

16. Animal Kingdom doesn't sell drinks with straws or lids. Blame the animals.

17. You will lose sunglasses during your trip. Since 1971, around 1.65 million pairs of sunglasses have made its way to the lost and found.

18. You can't buy gum in Disney World. Notice really clean sidewalks.

19. Woody and friends, from Toy Story, no longer fall down when you yell "Andy's coming" and that's not fun.

20. Tickets are insanely expensive. So you are now spending tons of money on food, resorts, and tickets into the parks.

21. There is constant construction. Disney is always building something.

22. It is always crowded. It doesn't matter if you go at Christmas time or in the middle of April, its crowded.

23. Wearing mouse ears around all the time, well it's kind of embarrassing.

24. Souvenirs are expensive. You basically have to take out a second mortgage to pay for it all.

25. It rains. every day. and then you are forced to wear hideous ponchos if you want to not lose out on all the money you spent to get in.

26. It's impossible to walk down mainstreet without accidentally photobombing someone's "cute" picture.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Bucket List To Live In The Now

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…
