Walt Disney World Or Star Wars World?

Is Hollywood Studios even a park?

Walt Disney World Or Star Wars World?
Comingsoon.net

Going to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida has been something I have been doing for quite some years. I look forward to walking into the Magic Kingdom and seeing the castle. This year, my thoughts have changed. Everything seems to be changing into a Star Wars-topia. As you may notice, anything from pins to plush toys can be found anywhere at Walt Disney World. I understand that many are Star Wars fans, but Disney has to realize that there is still a large group of people who aren't Star Wars fans.

Before Star Wars took over Disney, everything was fine. Guests were excited about having a Magic Band that allowed us to choose a color and name we put on it. It made traveling much easier because tickets, Fast Passes, and a room key were all in one. Guests can go to any theme park with just a Magic Band. A theme park that they can go to would be Hollywood Studios. Hollywood Studios, at the time, had numerous photo opportunities and alot of space for you to walk around. Backlot tours, the "Honey, I Shrunk my Kids" playground, and Cars photo opportunities were all things I looked forward to. This was all before the thought of putting a Star Wars land and Toy Story land popped into someone's head. Then the idea popped into someone's head to build these two lands, and that was when everything went downhill, In my opinion. Suddenly, everything went from Walt Disney World to Star Wars world.

To make room for Star Wars land and Toy Story land, they removed Lights, Motors, Action, the Back Lot Tour, "Honey, I Shrunk my Kids" playground, Cars photo opportunities and the Streets of America. If it weren't for Fantasmic, the Great Movie Ride, or the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, I would not go to Hollywood Studios. While they are building the lands, it seems that they are pushing Star Wars more and more. An example of this would be when they transform the EPCOT ball into the Death Star. It was cool that Disney did this, but Disney can do a lot of better things. For example, bringing back Mickey's hand at Hollywood Studios at the Sorcerers' hat at Disney's Hollywood Studios and the EPCOT hall. Recently, Disney turned the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster into a Star Wars themed rollercoaster. This is a prime example of Disney trying to make money by luring guests in with Star Wars themed attractions. I can't remember a time Disney has changed an attraction for one night based off of a movie.

I have been to Disney at least 20 times, so I've noticed the change. I have seen Disney changed from building classics to a Frozen-topia to a Star Wars-topia. I understand that Disney changes according to popularity, but Disney has come out with other movies, that were also popular, but never received a special attraction or show. I am not bashing Walt Disney World, but stating that not everyone loves Star Wars. It is getting annoying seeing so much Star Wars memorabilia and events going on. Meanwhile, I haven't seen anything pertaining to the Toy Story land. WDW, I understand you have a lot going on but at least promote Toy Story Land too.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
