Disney World---From a Gal Who's Been There, Done That

Hi, Page Turner again! In case you haven't noticed, I love going to Disney World. Most people liked going to Disney World if they've been, but most people don't know the awesome, hidden wonders of the parks that take a bit of digging to find. Here's Page Turner's Guide to a Few Commonly Missed Attractions. Hope you have fun reading it!
  •  
  •   Finding Nemo--the Musical: If you've ever seen the movie, are a fan of Broadway music, love beautiful costumes, or just want to get out of the heat, the Finding Nemo--the Musical attraction in Disney's Animal Kingdom is amazing. With a series of amazing Broadway-like songs, this play combines beautiful costumes and an amazing voice cast for an exciting, powerful play. It's totally worth seeing, and I even have the songs on my iPod!
  • Mulch, Sweat, and Tears: This outdoor traveling band that plays in the Hollywood Studios can sing some cool beats. If you spot them (near the Star Wars attractions and the Muppets) make sure to listen to this hip band with amazing singers and awesome get ups.
  • Innovations: Did you ever think to yourself, "I really want to go somewhere with awesome, interactive games that allow me to combine tech with art and play games?" Well, Innovations is a present for you! Innovations is the name of the awesome buildings in Epcot, toward the beginning of the park. With many interactive, fun games and simulators, Innovations boast a simulator that mimics a tornado or hurricane, a superhero adventure, and--my favorite--Sum of All Thrills. Sum of All Thrills is a robotic simulator that allows you to take a few minutes to design your own roller coaster with a touch screen desk, then actually try it out. This is a must-see at Disney. If you want to see how to design the rides, you can do it for free at mathmovesu.com/games/sum-all-thrills.
  • TTA and Carousel of Progress: Located on a stone's throw away from each other, these two downplayed rides are two of my favorite. The TTA is near Space Mountain. It's a series of carts on a track that runs above Tomorrowland, allowing you to look out over the courtyard, go inside the buildings, and actually see some of the rides. A long time favorite of mine, I have great memories from the TTA. Just a little ways away, is a round building that nobody pays much attention to. Inside is an awesome theater--that moves. The seats move in a circle around the theater, that uses amazing animatronics to depic a family. The dad narrates it, sitting in his kitchen with his dog, as the years progress. He talks about how the Wright Brothers are flying their planes, to the new year 2000. It's a great ride that everyone would love, with a great song. Fun Fact: it was exhibited at the 1964 New York World's Fair.
           Hope you liked my hints for going to Disney. Page Turner over and out!

The Good Dinosaur

Hi, Page Turner again! In case you were wondering, I had a blast on Valentine's Day and I'm now back for a brand-new movie review! Today, I was able to watch the Good Dinosaur and was left with feelings of Jurassic proportions...   The Good Dinosaur starts out with incredible CGI landscapes inspired by the Wyoming mountains, as a green dinosaur couple looks over their three eggs that are starting to hatch, in a moment akin to the very beginning of Finding Nemo. Each of the eggs hatch out three young dinosaurs, but Arlo is the very smallest of his family. As the summers pass and the farming family grows, Arlo's brother and sister place their footprints on the side of their corn silo, besides their parents, indicating they've 'made a mark' on the world. Everybody in his family has one except Arlo; everything in life scares him. His kind Papa tries one day to help Arlo prove his bravery and earn his mark by capturing and destroying the critter that eats from their...

Marvel Movies Review

Alrighty, a movie review! It's been a while, but I love doing these...      Okay, so I've recently watched the Avengers, Avengers 2, Winter Soldier, and Iron Man. (Do you see a pattern?) Here's the rundown: Avengers is really good. It's got violence, and some language, but a lot of funny dialogue, heroic deeds, and suspense, plus a good ol' superhero/modern-end-of-world feel to it. Thor's brother, Loki, teams up with an alien-robot race to take over the world, so S.H.I.E.L.D. must contact Iron Man, Black Widow, Captain America, The Hulk, Thor, and eventually Hawk Eye to save the day. The problem? They don't get along well. In fact, mayhem and dissension could appropriately describe this band of strange heroes with tons of emotional baggage. The team must learn to work together, or the world will suffer the consequences. Avengers 2 is once again riddled with violence and some language, but again has the same redeeming qualities. Hydra springs up once more...

Fall

Hi, Page Turner here! Sorry that I haven't written in a while...it's been super busy. Fall is coming! Fall--not autumn, mind you. Autumn seems to much like sunlight and warm breezes, and red trees. I'm talking about fall--rusty brown leaves that scuttle on the ground, pale blue skies, shadowy cold days, husky afternoons, bright red, yellow, and red, pumpkins, geese, fire in the fireplace, raking leaves....Fall is endless and seems to be different than Autumn. Anyway, Fall's here and I'm so happy! I want to spend all my time outside and just sit and watch Fall fall. (By the way, who came up with the word 'Fall'? Love it as I might, was that the most creative they could come up with? Did someone just look at the sky, say, 'Look how those leaves fall! What shall we call it? Oh...how about fall?) I love what this devotional said about autumn/fall. It's the time where everything dies, and produces something even prettier. Kind of like dying to our old si...
