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
• Then over to carousel of progress-ride43

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.

Web trends in 2010
There are some conspicuous web trends showing up for 2010. As human beings tend to think in threes: the following three promise to be big in 2010: Real-time communication, Internet TV and social gaming.

Online social networking isn’t going to go away.  It’s only going to keep growing at an astronomical rate.

1… Real time web: The term represents the growing demand for immediacy in our interactions. Immediacy is compelling, engaging, highly addictive … it’s a sense of living in the now. Social networking sites like face book, twitter and Linked In make it easy to instantly update status, post pictures, write wall posts and respond to interesting facts presented by friends spontaneously and in no time at all. You can share your personal experiences.. review a restaurant, recount your trip to zoo or a Japanese park and share info with your friends who are quick to respond to your experience by commenting on it or liking it with a press of a button.

You can also portray your talents like paintings or articles or blogs and exhibit it before hundreds of your friends and open groups attracting contributions from all. Why wait until you get home to post a restaurant review, asks consumer trends tracker Trendwatching, when scores of iPhone apps let you post feedback as soon as you finish dessert?

Cloud computing

Cloud computing was very much a buzzword of 2009, but there’s no doubt this transition will continue. The trend, in which data and applications cease to reside on our desktops and instead exist on servers elsewhere (”the cloud”), makes our data accessible from anywhere and enables collaboration with distributed teams.

The cloud movement will see a major leap forward in the first half of 2010 with the launch of “Office Web Apps,” free online versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote released in tandem with Microsoft Office 2010.

Internet TV and movies

Is 2010 the year the majority of our television starts coming to us via the Internet? No more waiting for the next sequel of your favorite TV show, you can watch what you want, when ever you are free through Internet TV. Looking at time for your must-see shows is a concept of bygone times. Now Internet allows you access to latest TV shows and movies for free and it is available to see when you are. Could things get any better for the movie and media lovers.

Social gaming

There’s little risk of social gaming proving a bad bet in 2010 — Zynga’s FarmVille game on Facebook now counts more active users than Twitter, claims a Facebook executive. Meanwhile, rival Playfish was recently acquired by Electronic Arts in a deal valued at up to $400 million. You can practice stock trading for free with the help of free cash and mock situations. You can even build another life for yourself on Second Life along similar lines as is exhibited in the movie Avatar. However you have to be careful if your spouse in real life finds out that you have an affair with cartoon from Second life their could be a transgression suit waiting for you.

Of growing interest in 2010, however, will be the virtual currencies these games have spawned: In the allegedly unmonetizable world of social media, virtual buying and selling may be the route to riches for some social media sites — a concept can be outlined in a topic “Is Facebook the future of micropayments?

Mobile payments
I’d wager that 2010 will be the breakthrough year of the much-anticipated mobile payments market. While much of Asia has embraced the technology, the U.S., in particular, has lagged. There’s reason for optimism in 2010, however: From PayPal to Amazon’s mobile payments platform for developers, the big players are seizing the mobile payments opportunity. Mobile banking is an extension of internet banking and the phenomenon started getting very popular in US a couple of years back. A lot of banks in US have already started using mobile banking (using the WAP technology) in a big way. Some of the prominent ones are Citibank, Bank of America, SunTrust and Wachovia.

• Cell phones can be used to make payments
• It is simpler and easier than online banking
• Their will be a standard interface waiving off the use of unnecessary graphics.
• It is secure incase the instrument is lost as data isn’t stored on the phone and information cannot be obtained without an access code, which must be entered each time. The only real danger might be from shoulder surfers (privacy issues).
• It is quick. It is only 3 clicks away to see your account information.
• It is secure as mobile service has 128-bit data encryption, the same level as the existing Internet service.

Reality Stars :

Fame is now abundant. Social media has birthed a galaxy of stars in thousands of niches: We’re all reality stars now, on Face book, Twitter and all the myriad online outlets where we hone our personal brands.

We’re seeing the ongoing voluntary erosion of privacy through public sharing on Face book and Twitter, the rise of location-based services and the inclusion of video cameras in a growing array of devices. Some of the bad practices of the social media is exposing your private life unabated in social networking sites which can tarnish your career plans or show you in a poor light to employers, family, etc.

The incredible efficiency of Web-based communication and our Google-fueled appetite to know everything about everything (or everyone) leads to continued erosion of privacy — this is expected to be a hot media topic of 2010. With private information so easily accessible, it makes sense make yourself  just a little hard to get in order to void becoming a target of  frauds.
