How To Avoid Terrible Disney Vacations
James and Carol Lee

Planning a trip to Disney World is no joke. It takes a lot of time, effort, and commitment to plan and schedule one of those trips. I have been to Disney more times than I would like to think and I'm sure if you go back and look at some of the previous articles on my page, you'll see that I'm kind of obsessed with it. I have compiled a list of a few tips and tricks from me to you on ways that you can avoid having a terrible Disney vacation.

The first would be to pack everything. Even if you don't think you need it. In my opinion, it's better to b safe than sorry. Packing everything includes sunscreen, bug spray, a rain jacket or poncho, baseball hats, water bottles, important papers, and enough shirts and shorts for all the days you are there, plus more. When I go to Disney I also love to bring my fun ears and pins to trade!

Next up on the list of Rachel is making reservations for Dining and Fastpass+. Disney has some really awesome restaurants on property and you can save yourself a lot of time and hassle by just making reservations through the Disney website before you leave home. The same goes for Fastpasses. Some rides in Disney (a cough, cough, Space Mountian) have reeeaaallly long wait times. If you can utilize the FastPass options, it will really save you some time to do other things around in the park!

The next thing I would really recommend is preparing for any type of weather that you may encounter. This means preparing for rain, sun, extreme temperature changes, and even hail. Florida weather is crazy, you never know what you're going to get!

Also, if you can, plan your Disney trips during times when crowds are thinner. Good times to go are October, January, February, and September! This will mean avoiding times when children are in school and major holidays.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate

"A Christmas Story" is the star on top of the tree.

The Great Christmas Movie Debate
Mental Floss

One staple of the Christmas season is sitting around the television watching a Christmas movie with family and friends. But of the seemingly hundreds of movies, which one is the star on the tree? Some share stories of Santa to children ("Santa Claus Is Coming to Town"), others want to spread the Christmas joy to adults ("It's a Wonderful Life"), and a select few are made to get laughs ("Elf"). All good movies, but merely ornaments on the Christmas tree of the best movies. What tops the tree is a movie that bridges the gap between these three movies, and makes it a great watch for anyone who chooses to watch it. Enter the timeless Christmas classic, "A Christmas Story." Created in 1983, this movie holds the tradition of capturing both young and old eyes for 24 straight hours on its Christmas Day marathon. It gets the most coverage out of all holiday movies, but the sheer amount of times it's on television does not make it the greatest. Why is it,
then? A Christmas Story does not try to tell the tale of a Christmas miracle or use Christmas magic to move the story. What it does do though is tell the real story of Christmas. It is relatable and brings out the unmatched excitement of children on Christmas in everyone who watches. Every one becomes a child again when they watch "A Christmas Story."

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas is one of my personal favorite holidays because of the Christmas traditions my family upholds generation after generation. After talking to a few of my friends at college, I realized that a lot of them don't really have "Christmas traditions" in their family, and I want to help change that. Here's a list of Christmas traditions that my family does, and anyone can incorporate into their family as well!

Surviving them is a must, and the following five phases are a reality for all majors from business to art, nursing to history.
