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 Invention of Hugo Cabret

Hi, Page Turner here! I'm back for--guess what!--another book review. That's right, folks. Book reviews are now officially part of the blog and will be labeled under movie reviews. What's this one on? Just one of the greatest graphic novels of all time. Okay, so when I said 'graphic novel' I guess I should be more specific. According to the dictionary a graphic novel is "a novel in a comic strip format." This book combines pages with words with pages covered in beautiful drawings that tell a story almost as clearly as the aforesaid written pages do. If you haven't guessed it all ready, this is the story of "The Invention of Hugo Cabret." If this doesn't sound like your kind of book, does mystery, danger, an orphan kid living in a clock tower, an old man with a secret, the history and magic of movies, or a secret hidden in a metal automaton strike your fancy? Here's my review!                   ...

The Great Gatsby Book Review

Hi, Page Turner here. Today is the third book in the 30 series on “15 Books Every Person Should Read.” Yesterday was about The Giver by Louis Lowry. Today I’m going to be writing about The Great Gatsby. A beloved, gritty classic about the 1920s, I read this book a few years ago and have been captured by its message ever since. I hope you enjoy today’s book review!                                         The Great Gatsby—a Book Review       The 1920s, dubbed the Roaring Twenties, has captured the imaginations of generations. Twinkling lights, flapper dresses, jazz, and Downton Abbey-esque dinner parties have all been general characterizations of this time period. Add in some speak-easy bars, some romance and mystery, and a trip to the cinema in the family automobile to complete the picture....

Who is the Best Avenger?

Hey, hey, hey! It's me again. Monday isn't the best of days, so I'd like to let off some steam by revisiting one of my favorite things to do: debate about movies. Oh, yeah. Today's topic? Who is the best Avenger? (Yeah, uh oh. This could conversation could get heated :) The following post is my personal opinion and I'd love to hear yours in the comments!        Okay, so we've got, what, like, 10 Avengers now? Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Captain America, Thor, the Hulk, Spiderman, Black Panther, Scarlet Witch...I'm leaving out a few, but you get the gist. I'm going to just focus on the original: Iron Man, Black Widow, Hawkeye, Captain America, Thor, and the Hulk. Now, pretty much all of these guys are pretty cool. Natasha's like a secret agent/karate fighter, the Hulk can turn green and smash buildings, Iron Man's like a techno Superman, Thor can, well, control lightning, Hawkeye's Avenger's version of Katnis, and Captain America'...
