1. The Beatles officially broke up at the Polynesian Resort

On vacation there in December of 1974, John Lennon signed the papers to make their dissolution legal

2. 14 of the original rides still operate today

1. It's a Small World

2. The Haunted Mansion

3. Walt Disney's Enchanted Tiki Room

4. Tomorrowland Speedway

5. Prince Charming Regal Carrousel

6. Mad Tea Party

7. Jungle Cruise

8. Dumbo the Flying Elephant

9. Fronterirland Shootin' Arcade

10. The Hall of Presidents

11. Country Bear Jamboree

12. Walt Disney World Railroad

13. Swiss Family Tree House

14. Peter Pan's Flight

3. The ground is painted to enhance photos

After an experiment was done by Kodak, Disney opted for a painted ground to make each photo appear more vivid.

4. The hitching posts on Main Street are painted every night

Disney is known for how much detail they put into everything but did you know that each night, the hitching posts are stripped and repainted so they look fresh the next morning for guests?

5. The plants in Tomorrowland are edible

Because Walt believed the future would be self-sustaining, each plant is edible.

6. You'll never see a store in a Disney Park selling gum

No store in Disney is allowed to sell gum, a caution to keep the pavement as clean as possible

7. Presidental Fashion

Each presidents outfit in the Hall of President's is made tailored to their time Era. If there wasn't a sewing machine in their time, then Disney makes their suit hand-stitched. Another fun fact....Bill Clinton is made to be wearing his favorite Iron Man Watch

8. Every costume is handmade

The Presidents aren't the only ones to get handmade costumes. Each costume at Disney is handmade to create authenticity and detail.

9 . Disneyland has about 200 Cats to help rodent control

All spayed and neutered and properly taken care of, Disneyland is actually home to about 200 cats..what did those cats do to get lucky with such a sweet gig?

10. A Lifetime Of Disney Hotels

If you were to stay in each Disney World Hotel Room for 1 night, it would take you about 68 years.....68 years in Disney? Doesn't sound too bad to me.

In an age where artificial intelligence can mimic the voice of Freddie Mercury or reimagine pop hits as synthwave ballads, a new frontier has emerged — one that blurs the line between innovation and erosion. While AI offers undeniable benefits in technical domains, its intrusion into creative arts, especially music, raises urgent questions. Not just about copyright, but about culture, education, and the very soul of artistic expression.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

We are all more than just one sign.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

The Importance Of Being A Good Person

An open letter to the good-hearted people.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
