“Mickey Mouse is the most important person at this park” (Mitchell 963). In this quote, Mitchell’s roommate Johnny is talking about how without Mickey, there would be nothing - no Disneyland, Walt Disney World, or Disney channel. Mickey is what made Disney.

    Disney is said to be “the happiest place on earth,” but taking a closer look at the real message of Disney’s animated films make writers as well as parents hesitate. In chapter three of The Mouse That Roared by Henry A. Giroux, Giroux writes about the huge industry of Disney and how the animated movies send out messages to kids that might not be the best. In this chapter Giroux talks about how most of Disney’s 1990 movies portray sexist, racism, and evil vs. good; and in writing this Giroux is trying to bring to attention that Disney is not as innocent as everyone sees it to be. When reading this chapter I thought that most of these controversies…

Each of us had a wonderful time and it seems that we all remember things different, even though we were all together on the same vacation. Our five different memories have apparently come from our five different senses.…

    When I visited Disney world I was seven years old, attending with my grandparents. I had never been so excited in my life.

The two hour trip, which seemed like ages to me, was finally over when we got off at the airport in Orlando. I was so excited I just wanted to run off immediately and see everything there was to see, which is obviously impossible. First we went to our…

    “There is no way I’m leaving without getting a pink Lots-o’ Bear!” I cried to my parents. It was the last day of my vacation in Disney World and everyone in my family had a souvenir, except me. Throughout the entire trip, I’d been looking for one thing, a stuffed Lots-o’-Huggin Bear, from the movie Toy Story. There was no sign of a big, pink bear in any of the store windows. It was almost 9:00 at night, and everyone was getting tired, but I still hadn’t found my bear. Mom said we could go to three more stores, but after that we were going back to the hotel. I looked around for the biggest stores with the most toys. I come across World of Disney, and two other stores. I visited the two other stores first, just in case they had my bear, so that I might not have had to go in the ginormous crowd of World of Disney.…

The crowds are filled with children and parents. You can hear children’s laughter and excitement. And if you look closely, you can see Mickey and friends in the corner signing autographs and taking pictures. I close my…
