Frozen Ever After Freezes Lines At Epcot
Walt Disney World

"Frozen" is a phenomenon that has taken the world by storm. People young and old are mesmerized by this Disney film, making it one of Disney's highest grossing animated pictures. Songs like "Do You Want To Build A Snowman" was just one aspect of the substantial payout from the movie. Products and clothes were added to the list of things being bought just because it was associated with "Frozen."

Now parents and children everywhere have had their dreams come true at Epcot where Anna and Elsa have come to life in a new ride called "Frozen Ever After." This ride is set to significantly raise the amount of money generated from Epcot visitors. Epcot's numbers haven't been as large as Disney World or Universal after the addition of Harry Potter World. It is said though that this new "Frozen"-themed attraction will have people flocking to Epcot, where the park is more known for its bars than its rides.

The ride opened July 21 in the Norway pavilion of the park. Normally a new ride is packed with people anticipating the rides new arrival, but packed was an understatement. Lines wrapped around the park and the wait time for the ride was said to be 300 minutes. That's a five-hour wait to stand in line.

Is the ride worth the five-hour wait time? The ride is a simple, but magnificent attraction. You arrive to the front of the line and hop into a boat to start the ride. You are taken on an adventure, and the final destination plays out just like "Frozen." You are essentially riding the boat until you get to a celebration being thrown at Elsa's castle and throughout the ride all of your favorite frozen songs are being played. When you finally reach the castle, animations explode as
"Let It Go" is sung. All these colors fill the screen before you are sent back to unload the boat.

In addition to the ride, there is a spot to meet Elsa and Anna on the pavilion for any child (or let's face it adult) that wants to get their picture taken with the "Frozen" stars. There is also a store to get any of the "Frozen" trinkets you want, even Elsa and Anna dresses for the little ones.

Is the wait time daunting for now? Yes, the extremely long wait time is inconvenient, especially with small children in tow. Is it something you need to go to? Yes, it is. The "Frozen" ride is a great addition to Epcot and now adds that little something that Epcot has been missing. This isn't a whole "Frozen" lan, so maybe the adults should ride Frozen Ever After and bring the kids when lines calm down.

As Olaf says, "Some people are worth melting for," and you might melt away breaking a sweat waiting on this line in the Florida heat, but it might be worth it.

For as long as I can remember, I have been listening to The Beatles. Every year, my mom would appropriately blast “Birthday” on anyone’s birthday. I knew all of the words to “Back In The U.S.S.R” by the time I was 5 (Even though I had no idea what or where the U.S.S.R was). I grew up with John, Paul, George, and Ringo instead Justin, JC, Joey, Chris and Lance (I had to google N*SYNC to remember their names). The highlight of my short life was Paul McCartney in concert twice. I’m not someone to “fangirl” but those days I fangirled hard. The music of The Beatles has gotten me through everything. Their songs have brought me more joy, peace, and comfort. I can listen to them in any situation and find what I need. Here are the best lyrics from The Beatles for every and any occasion.

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.
