Rebecca Arrmas

Who doesn't love Disney? There are so many different things to see, characters to meet, and food to eat when visiting the one and only Disney World in Florida. Sometimes it can be overwhelming to see all the crazy possibilities that you have at your fingertips. So here is a quick list of to be a part of your ultimate, must-do Disney list!

1. See the Welcome Show

To start it off, when the park officially opens there is a show that happens at the park entrance that basically let's everyone know that the park is open and ready for all the visitors. If you get the chance to see it, it will be a great start to your day and you'll be one of the first people to get into the park as well!

2. Buy Mickey (or Minnie) ears

What is a Disney trip without any ears? When getting into Disney and even throughout the whole park, there are dozens of stores that carry many different styles of Disney ears. You will have a lot to pick from so pick your favorite and wear it throughout the day.

3. Get your picture in front of the castle

Taking a picture in front of the castle will definitely make for a great Instagram post. Getting this picture will allow you to keep a great memory and it will also just look aesthetically pleasing!

4. Have and eat your own Dole Whip

Now getting into some of the foods of Disney, a Dole Whip is high on the list. There are just so yummy and tasty and something you will be longing for all day!

5. Eat a Mickey shaped ice cream

There are several different versions of Mickey shaped ice creams ranging from ice cream sandwiches to normal ice cream but all will taste amazingly and keep you cool on those hot Florida days.

6. Eat a Mickey soft pretzel

There is definitely a Mickey shaped food theme going on and every single one is a must have. Soft pretzels are pretty good but a Mickey shaped soft pretzel is amazing! Add some cheese or salt and you will be in heaven.

7. Take a picture with a Mickey Ballon

You will see many vendors selling the Mickey balloons throughout the park and anywhere in the park will have a great background for a picture. Little hint: sometimes if you are nice and ask the vendors if you can just take a picture with the balloons and not actually pay for it, they will let you.

8. Meet as many character as you can

Some character have certain areas and times where you can line up and meet them. Make sure to check the times for character meet and greets and run over to take you pictures with them!

9. Get an autograph book and get as many characters to sign it

Along with taking pictures with characters, you can also have them sign an autograph. There are many stores in Disney that sell autographs book which you can stop by. It's really cool to see how all the characters sign and keep them as a forver memory.

10. Stay from open to close

It might get hot and tiring and maybe even a little bit frustrating but try to stay at the park from open to close. You will be able to ride all the rides you want and even see all the shows they have in the park. You'll be making memory after memory and will have tons of fun!

11. Watch the final Disney show at the castle

The names of the show change every once in a while but at the end of the night, there is a light and firework show at the castle. It's super pretty and colorful and might make you cry from happiness. Also keep your eyes open because Tinker Bell can make an appearance in the sky and fly right before your eyes!

Disney has so many different things to do and see, ranging from food all the way to show. Everyone has different taste so find what you may like the most and go for it. Disney is a magical place so you never know what you may find!

25 Beatles Lyrics: Your Go-To Guide for Every Situation

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

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.

Dealing with the inevitable realities of college life.

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.

The Best Lines from the Fab Four

And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make

The sun is up, the sky is blue, it's beautiful and so are you

Love is old, love is new, love is all, love is you

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be

Life is very short, and there's no time for fussing and fighting, my friend

He say, "I know you, you know me", One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Oh please, say to me, You'll let me be your man. And please say to me, You'll let me hold your hand

It was twenty years ago today, Sgt. Pepper taught the band to play. They've been going in and out of style, but they're guaranteed to raise a smile

Living is easy with eyes closed, misunderstanding all you see

Can you hear me? When it rains and shine, it's just a state of mind

Little darling, it's been long cold lonely winter. Little darling, it feels like years since it' s been here. Here comes the sun, Here comes the sun, and I say it's alright

We danced through the night and we held each other tight, and before too long I fell in love with her. Now, I'll never dance with another when I saw her standing there

I love you, I love you, I love you, that's all I want to say

You say you want a revolution. Well you know, we all want to change the world

All the lonely people, where do they all come from. All the lonely people, where do they all belong

Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

Hey Jude, don't make it bad. Take a sad song and make it better

Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away. Now it looks as though they're here to stay. Oh, I believe in yesterday

And when the brokenhearted people, living in the world agree, there will be an answer, let it be.

And anytime you feel the pain, Hey Jude, refrain. Don't carry the world upon your shoulders

I'll give you all I got to give if you say you'll love me too. I may not have a lot to give but what I got I'll give to you. I don't care too much for money. Money can't buy me love

All you need is love, love is all you need

Whisper words of wisdom, let it be

Blackbird singing in the dead of night, Take these broken wings and learn to fly. All your life, You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Though I know I'll never lose affection, for people and things that went before. I know I'll often stop and think about them. In my life, I love you more

Obviously the best superpower.

There have been many lessons learned.

1. The importance of traditions.

2. How to be thankful for family and friends.

3. How to give back.

4. What the word "community" really means.

5. That it isn't about the destination, but the journey.

6. The consequences of making bad choices.

7. To trust people, until you have a reason not to.

8. To be welcoming and accepting of everyone.

9. How to be my own, individual person.

10. How to work for what I want.

11. How to be great at giving directions.

12. How to be humble.

13. To be well-rounded.

14. How to be great at conflict resolution.

15. The beauty of getting outside and exploring.

16. To be prepared for anything.

17. That you don't always have to do it alone.

18. How to be creative.

19. To brush off gossip.

I have never been so thankful to know you.
