Not Everybody Is Down With Disney Parks And That's A Little Sad

As the old saying goes, "you can't please everyone."

Not Everybody Is Down With Disney Parks And That's A Little Sad
MaxPixel

If you're a big fan of the Disney Parks, you might have noticed that some changes are about to be underway, which is really exciting! If you follow the Disney Parks pages on social media, as well as some fan pages, you might see that some commenters have totally shielded themselves from the changes. Lastly, if you've been to any Disney Park recently, you may hear some negative commenters in line. It could be the growing trend of grumpy people across the nation, or it could be people who are simply afraid of change. Either way, it was Walt Disney himself who said, "progress is impossible without change."

As a frequent park goer and former cast member, here are some comments that I've noticed that make me a little sad.

"Disney has lost the magic"

Actually, Disney has become more magical, if anything. I believe the reason people say this is because it's no longer the Disney that they grew up with. While part of me is sad about that too, I disagree that the magic is lost. Think of all the new magic to be created, especially with Star Wars and Marvel characters. Everyone is happy because they can meet their favorite princess and their favorite superheroes. Some of the older rides are being remade into new experiences, but the new experiences may become new traditions. Disney is always magical, let's never forget that.

The FastPass Line is no longer a FastPass Line

Except you don't sign up to walk right on the ride. The FastPass "rules" state that you will get little to no wait time. I don't know about you, but I'd rather wait 15 minutes for Peter Pan's Flight than 90 minutes, but that's just me.

"I'm no longer going to Disney because..."

I've heard it all. Too expensive. Too big of crowds. Too much Star Wars. Not enough Star Wars. Epcot has too many festivals. People will think of pretty much anything. The truth is, Disney is going to continue to grow and expand, in attractions and crowds. While they consider guest satisfaction, not everything can be restored back to its former glory.

As the old saying goes, "you can't please everyone."

Economic Benefits of Higher Wages

Nobody deserves to be living in poverty.

Raising the minimum wage to a livable wage would not only benefit workers and their families, it would also have positive impacts on the economy and society. Studies have shown that by increasing the minimum wage, poverty and inequality can be reduced by enabling workers to meet their basic needs and reducing income disparities.

I come from a low-income family. A family, like many others in the United States, which has lived paycheck to paycheck. My family and other families in my community have been trying to make ends meet by living on the minimum wage. We are proof that it doesn't work.

Every college student knows and understands the struggle of forcing themselves to continue to care about school. Between the piles of homework, the hours of studying and the painfully long lectures, the desire to dropout is something that is constantly weighing on each and every one of us, but the glimmer of hope at the end of the tunnel helps to keep us motivated. While we are somehow managing to stay enrolled and (semi) alert, that does not mean that our inner-demons aren't telling us otherwise, and who is better to explain inner-demons than the beloved April Ludgate herself? Because of her dark-spirit and lack of filter, April has successfully been able to describe the emotional roller-coaster that is college on at least 13 different occasions and here they are.
