12 Things You Probably Don't Know About Walt Disney World
Inside the Magic

Walt Disney World is undoubtable the happiest place on Earth. Everyone knows that! But here are a few things that the average Disney Parks goer might not know about there favorite vacation destination.

1. The Epcot Ball is made up of 11,324 triangles

2. There is no gum sold anywhere on Disney property, to keep cast members from having to scrape it off of the roads, tables, and anything else.

3. When walking through the line for Star Tours in Hollywood Studios, listen for a robot paging “Egroeg Sacul.“ If you spell the two words backwards it says "George Lucas."

4. Each train, or "limo," on Rock 'n Rollercoaster in Hollywood Studios plays a different Aerosmith song.

5. If the sign for Tower of Terror in Hollywood Studios says there is a 13-minute wait – there is no wait at all!

6. There are more than 20,000 different colors of paint used throughout all four parks.

7. Each of the scenes in Jungle Cruise in Magic Kingdom are taken from the True-Life Adventure Film Series that Walt Disney produced in the early 1960s.

8. There are no bathrooms located in Liberty Square in Magic Kingdom, to stay true to the time period it was inspired by.


9. There are six hidden paintbrushes on Tom Sawyer’s Island in Magic Kingdom. If you find one and bring it to a cast member, they will give you a free fast pass!

10. The telegraph you hear at the train station on Main Street USA in Magic Kingdom is tapping out Walt Disney's speech from Disneyland's opening day in Code.


11. There are only three Presidential Seals in the whole world: one is in the Oval Office, another is with the Liberty Bell, and the third is in the Hall of Presidents in Magic Kingdom in Walt Disney World. It actually took Congress passing an act to get the Presidential Seal into the Hall of Presidents!

12. In Kilimanjaro Safari in Disney's Animal Kingdom, cast members shoot raisins out of cannons to get the gorillas to move out and around the safari vehicles.

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.

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.

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.
