A Ranking of All Four Disney World Parks

So, this week, I got to spend two days at Disney World. The first day was at Hollywood Studios, while the second day was at Epcot. As someone who has been to Disney World a bunch of times, I think I'm qualified to rank the parks within Walt Disney World (Magic Kingdom, Epcot, Hollywood Studios, and Animal Kingdom). So, here goes.

1. Magic Kingdom

Magic Kingdom is the best park, hands down. Not only is it classic (it was the first park), it's fun! There's something for everyone -- good treats, a nice mix of fast and not so fast rides, and plenty of great food. Plus, with all the different areas within the park, you'll never get bored, and there's always something new to explore. This trip was the first time I went to Disney World and did not go to Magic Kingdom.

2. Epcot


Epcot is great. It's the second park to open in Disney World and was the last park that Walt Disney helped envision. There's not a ton of rides; however you can go around the World Showcase, and there's a ton of food. You can hop from France to the US to Germany (which I did). Random Tip: the caramel corn at Germany is really good. There are festivals all the time–Food and Wine, Flower and Garden, Festival of the Arts–none of which I've been to, but I've heard on good authority from park employees (AKA my sister and her friends) that it's amazing. Also: Spaceship Earth (the giant golfball) is a great ride.


3. Hollywood Studios


Hollywood Studios is entertaining, but if you've been there once, you probably do not need to go back until there's something new (AKA until Star Wars Land and Toy Story Land -- 2018 and 2019, respectively). There are a few enjoyable rides, and you can meet Pixar characters, so that's fun. While it's fun to see a bit of movie magic, the park itself is a bit too eclectic for me.

4. Animal Kingdom

Animal Kingdom is okay. The Jungle Cruise is cool. I've been there maybe once, and I do not remember much (which should tell you how excited I was). While the park is unique, frankly, I'd rather pay a lot less and go to the zoo. It's more of a go-there-just-to-go-there situation in my opinion.

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
