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

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."

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.
