Disney Orlando Parks/Vacation Tips



     I’m back to talking about Disney! This time I'm gonna give you guys any tips I can think of on how to plan and have a good Disney vacation. I’m gonna put these in more of a list form so bare with me.

  1. If you can go in the fall or spring and try to avoid holiday. Holidays at Disney are very busy as well as the summer, not to mention the stifling heat. 
  2. Start planning early, especially if staying on Disney property. Hotels get booked fast and prices often shift frequently for flights. 
  3. If you are planning on going places other than Disney, rent a car. It’s convenient to be able to go wherever you want, whenever you want, and not have to rely on public or hotel transportation. 
  4. Buy your Disney tickets on line. They are often cheaper and you can find out if your day is a value day (cheaper due to less people being at the park)
  5. Make your Fastpass+ reservations as soon as possible. Popular rides run out of fast passes fast. (The time frames are: 30 days for anyone with a ticket, 60 days for guests staying at a Disney hotel.)
  6. If you get the chance to go to Mickey’s Not-So-Scary Halloween Party or Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party you should go. If you have young kids the Halloween party is great because little kids can dress up and go trick-or-treating inside the park. Out of the two my personal favorite is the Christmas party because the castle is lit up and they give out free cookies and hot chocolate. Both parties feature unique shows, parades, and fireworks. (As previously mentioned try to avoid going on the actual holiday, each party has big time frames so make sure to check those when planning your trip.)
  7. If you stay at a Disney hotel you get advantages such as extra magic hours ( extra time in the park either before park opens or after it closes), the ability to book fastpasses 60 days in advance versus 30, and extra opportunities like movies outside at your hotel.
  8. Download the MyDisneyExperience app you can access the app to make your Fastpass+ reservations, reserve dining, even by tickets and book hotels. Once in the park you can access attraction wait times, maps, showtimes, and descriptions of things throughout the park. Also after you use all three of your fastpasses then you can reserve an additional Fastpass+ experience. 
While that is all for now I will be back with updates as I think of more.

NHS Induction Ceremony

     Tonight was my school’s induction ceremony for NHS. Twenty-three of us got accepted. For one night we got to be honored in front of our friends and families. I got to walk up on stage and accept my certificate with twenty-two of my classmates. It was nice to get acknowledged for our hard work. Also this will help us all with college which is awesome. I’m excited to keep moving.

Walkout Day!

     Today is National School Walkout Day! Students across the country  walked out of their classes at 10:00 A.M. to protest in whatever way they chose. I, as well as two other students, organized and planned our schools walkout. We got the permission of our school administrators to assure that no students that wanted to participate would get in trouble for leaving class. This also allowed us to have teachers and a couple of police officers watch over the protest. Our walkout met in the school’s auditorium. For our demonstration we created a slideshow of all 17 victims of the Parkland school shooting; giving one minute for each student.  I was honestly amazed that so many students participated and stayed quiet and respectful for all 17 minutes of the presentation. Many of today’s protests were focused on gun control, but that was not our goal. Our goal was to honor the victims of Parkland and to bring attention to the safety of our schools. I strongly believe th...

Fishing

      I’ve liked fishing since I was a little girl. I’ve always had a lot of fun going out with my family and spending time at the lake. However, my family stopped going when I was still young. I still like to fish, but I didn’t really have anyone to take me. Today my boyfriend bought me a fishing license and took me fishing with his family. I had a lot of fun. Fishing is one of his favorite things so it was nice to be able to go with him. I’m hoping that since he got me a license we will be able to go more often over the summer. I think it’ll be a good chance for us to do something together that he really enjoys.
