A Magical Place

Pixie dust and fairytales is the recipe for a magical day in a magical place; the place that brings out the child-like innocents in all of us. The captivated looks on the children’s face, the laughter that fills the air, the making of a place where dreams really do come true; Walt Disney World, my favorite place. From the moment I walk through the gates of this magical place all senses overwhelm me, bringing out the child in me; full of excitement and happiness. Entering the park the sight of the castle, the smell of fresh popped corn, the sound of children laughing; the feeling of warmth comes over me.
The anticipation grows as I stroll down Main Street U.S.A towards the majestic Cinderella castle I see a kaleidoscope of balloons carried by finely dressed street vendors. The intricately designed, and well kept storefronts sell everything from clothes and kitchen ware to beautiful hand blown glass. The vast array of shops put a sparkle in my eyes anticipating a shopping trip at the end of this enchanting day. As I near the end of Main Street I see the candy workers through the window of the confectionary, the smells then overcome me.
I walk closer to the confectionary and the aroma of chocolate, fudge and fresh baked treats delight my senses. People are lined up to the door to get a taste of these delectable delights, as I leave all I see is ice cream covered children taking joy in their scrumptious treat. As I make my way across the street there sits a brilliant red and yellow colored popcorn cart, the essence of buttery popcorn fills the air. Along with the scents of savory foods, there are distinct smells that come from the rides, metal burning and grease heating up, allowing me to imagine the fun I am going to have when I step on my first ride, Space Mountain.
Tomorrow Land; a fascinating land of the future, the first of many fantasy lands located in the Magic Kingdom, the roaring sounds and

    Racism: discrimination which exemplifies stereotypical differences between the ethnic groups to which people belong. While Disney animated films are the ideal family movies, it is undisclosed to many that such racism is being portrayed. Disney’s movie Aladdin (1992), “was a high-profile release, the winner of two Academy Awards, and one of the most successful Disney films ever produced” (Giroux, 104); however, what is often disregarded is the obvious depiction of careless racism towards Arabs seen in the illustrations of the characters, the statuses into which they are placed and the lyrics of the opening song near beginning of the film. Furthermore, with the movie disguising itself as innocent and wholesome, children are exposed to these stereotypes at a young age.…

    Fairy tales come out of the outer regions of imagination. Creating a bridge between real world themes and ingenious plots is the common ground for all fairy tales. Kelly Link sits perfectly in this category using fairy tale characteristics in her story “The Summer People”. The story begins with Fran’s father leaving her while she is suffering severe flu like symptoms. During the school week Fran’s a classmate Ophelia begins to take care of her.

    The sound of kids laughing ringed through my ears as the Disney All-Star Movies transportation bus pulled up to the parking lot at Walt Disney World Resort. My stomach began to turn as the butterflies fluttered rapidly. I trailed behind my family as we walked towards the opening gates. My smile stretched across my face, and my cheeks began to feel sore. I listened as my mom gave her safety instructions. I was ready to go. I was ready to ride the rides. I was ready see the famous Disney Castle. I was ready to meet all of my role model Disney princesses. I was ready to go.…

    Fairy tales are part of every Western child 's upbringing, and have been for decades. The method of telling and the stories them selves may have changed from the purely oral tradition to that of the written word with the introduction of the printing press and more importantly the Chap Book in the eighteenth century (Montgomery, 2009 p. 13). But the basic core of the tales remain hundreds of years on to instruct and delight children to this day. These days children are surrounded by fairy tales in the form of the books read to them at home or nursery/school, television and film adaptations, cartoons and even advertisements, as well as Christmas pantomimes. Each version they see will have differences, some more subtle than others, but the basic story will be the same.…

    When I think about fairy tales, the stories that first come to mind are Cinderella, Snow White, and Beauty and the Beast. I think of these stories and books as products of Walt Disney, and assumed that to be their place of origin. The Disney Spell is that Walt Disney made it so that when you think of certain fairy tales, you automatically think of him. Thus, eliminating the true origin of those fairy tales. After going through this reading, I realized that I was one of the victims under the Disney Spell. Walt Disney concentrated on these fairy tales because of their “rags to riches” story lines, and those stories reminded him of his own upbringing. But he altered them in a way that appealed more to his American audience, which I believe is…

    Once upon a time children’s stories were written about a magical imaginary world with beautiful princesses and fairies known as “Fairytales”. Fairytales have been with us for a longtime. When I look back to my childhood, I do not remember a lot of things, but I remember the days when my grand-mother took care of me. Every evening I used to sit on her lap or by her side to listen to fairytales. She would tell me tales of the princes, princesses and stories of ghosts. In the end, from all the stories, she would try to teach me some lessons about life. At that time, all those stories seemed to be true to me. Fairy tales were an oral tradition handed down mostly by the grandmother’s, but were put into writing in the late 1600’s. The Disney versions…

    It is of no surprise that many adults have found Disneyworld to be an extremely entertaining. Even though most of the rides are meant for the children, the adults can take pleasure in being inside an architectural piece of wonderland. The Magic Kingdom is divided into many areas, and one of the most prominent, the area that comes in as soon as you enter the Magic Kingdom is the Main Street, usa. This street is made up of various architectural styles from the various states of usa, with much of the style being influence by Missouri and New England. The buildings on Main Street are built in such a way that they seem to be bigger than they actually are; the second story is smaller than the first, and the third smaller than the second is, giving the buildings a larger-than-life image. At the end of the Main Street is Cinderella's Castle, which is the trademark of the magic k ingdom. You really have to see it to appreciate its magical realm.…

    An enormous castle fit for any king or queen. The tops look as though they are scraping the sky; colors of pale pink and baby blue grace the tall pillars. A draw bridge decorates the castle. As I gaze into the background, I can see the tip of The Matterhorn, which makes me want to make a mad dash to Frontierland where my favorite Disney attraction awaits. Alas, the Pirates of the Caribbean. As we enter the ride, a scent that is memorable and everlasting overcomes my senses. It is difficult to describe; however, I would say it is a musty, sweet, and wet smell. Sounds gross right? Until you smell if for yourself you will never truly appreciate it. Moving along through each attraction, I can hear The Little Mermaid’s Under the Sea, and look up to see a gigantic crab making its way through the park with the rest of the parade. The loud music and dancing characters will make any adult feel young again. As night approaches, the crowd gathers in front of the castle for one of the greatest experiences of your life, the fireworks. I get choked up as I watch this incredible display of pyrotechnics that creates a Disney experience out of this world. The loud booms and sparkles of pure happiness shower the top of Sleeping Beauty’s…
