Dreams do come true beyond the magical world of Disney

Disney, a wonderful world of color, an unbelievable land of animated characters, a recreation of forgotten classics like Alice in the wonderland; princess and frog, tooth fairy, etc
A part of child’s entertainment, their adventurous fantascape. Disney, a reincarnation of the dream world, a fantasy world encouraging the young minds to dream and dream big as they do come true. How many of you agree with this basic idea. Do you think it is naïve to dream as they vanish the moment we open our eyes, it is like a bubble that bursts faced with reality. Is it an antidote to reality, a mark of unrealism.

But in my view, this belief is true: the free flowing dreams which flutter in our minds eyes like colorful butterflies form the first step to our future destiny. Some of these dreams may make you achieve physical excellence. Or you may dream to win awards and a year’s time you may be in the midst of Aruba islands sipping pina colada from one hand and holding the achievers award in the other. Or you may be like a poor Cinderella before she becomes a princess waiting to be swept off her feet by prince charming and a year hence like a rabbit from a magicians hat this is what happens. Be it one or several, it is true that the dreams that begin to be spun through fictional, unrealism of disneys fake animated characters roll on to become a magical reality which can seem unbelievable enough to make to pinch yourself over and over again only to reveal that they have become the reality nothing but stark reality urging you to dream on so you can reach higher to realize your beautiful destiny.

Some useful tips to keep in mind before taking a trip to this magical world of Disney:
1. You can go by car or plane (if going from Toronto)
2. You should stay at a Disney resort if you only want to cover parks, stay in close proximity outside the Disney world if want to have more than the parks from the trip
3. Avoid spring break time for your trip, try to go in May or September to avoid line ups and jam packed crowds
4. If you do plan a trip at such a time, go for fast pass option.
5. Make plans before hand, for instance make a plan like the one given below before going to Magic Kingdom

• Be at magic kingdom bus stop at 7:30 am and say that you are going to a character breakfast
• Arrive at magic kingdom at 7:45 am
• Walk to train station holding area and stand in front of one of the two tunnel that will take you to the main street.
• Go to adventureand entrance
• Go directly to pirates of Caribbean – ride11
• Go to big thunder mountain railroad-ride14
• Go to haunted mansion – ride 19
• Walk through fantasy land to space mountain-ride 40
• While waiting to ride space mountain, or finish riding, go over to tomorrowland transit authority-ride 42

6. Price of the park for the 5 day trip is $ 350 per person, after which each consequent day costs only 3 additional dollars per person, so try to make a seven day trip to have the maximum from the trip.
7. Park food is very ordinary, so for fine dining venture outside the park
8. Spectromagic parades and fire works happen every night so save your energy till 10 pm
9. Water parks are open in summer time only, include that in your itinery
10. Don’t go by height requirements for rides, small children may not like the roller coaster rides (like Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster), space mission or Everest rides. So stray them clear from those.

Ballon Boy – Reality Shows or Exploitation

Balloon Boy story shows to what extent people would go to get some air time, exposure on media and maybe even money – even exploit their own children in this pursuit. Such stories were heard commonly in the third world countries but advanced nations like Unites States of America and Canada are not away from this hunger to exploit even innocent kids for selfish ends.

Reality shows have grown from extreme make overs where a ugly ducking is turned into a swan in no time at all and now this balloon boy  has hit media by a storm. It was apparently a publicity stunt by making a 6-year old fly in a hot air balloon. Now the parents face charges for putting at risk their child (named falcon) for the sake  of some air time. Kudos to the little 6-year old falcon who didn’t hesitate to unveil his parents hoax stunt. We hold our breadth and thank God for his mercy that the balloon didn’t hit an electric wire or  high rise building.

Other reality shows like ‘So you think you can dance’, ‘Bachelor or Bachelorette’ where these beautiful and talented people parade in front of the world and put up a brave face even when they fail before millions of people.

We’ve been duped, America!
Entire world watched with abated breadth as a homemade balloon took flight in Colorado last week, thinking 6-year-old Falcon Heene was in the basket below. The whole balloon incident was called “a hoax” and a “publicity stunt” on the part of the Heene family.

The family, who was featured on an episode of ABC’s Wife Swap, was looking for a little more airtime and “put on a very good show for us, and we bought it,”. “We believe that we have evidence at this point to indicate that it was a publicity stunt done with the hopes of marketing themselves or better marketing themselves for a reality television show at some point in the future,” Alderden said.

Falcon was found hiding in the attic of parents Richard and Mayumi Heene’s home after the balloon landed and it was discovered that he wasn’t inside. And now charges are most likely going to be filed against the couple. “We were looking at Class 3 misdemeanor, which hardly seems serious enough given the circumstances,” he said. “We are talking to the district attorney, federal officials to see if perhaps there aren’t additional federal charges that are appropriate in this circumstance.”
