Pin Trading is a family-favorite activity to do in all Disney Parks. Many people take joy in trading pins with other guests and cast members. Whether it is to complete a collection or just the act of interacting with cast members itself, all members of the family can partake in this interactive pastime. Plus, the pins make great souvenirs to take home with you at the end of the trip!

2. Resort Hop

Every single resort in Walt Disney World is unique in its own way! There are about twenty-five resorts in Walt Disney World, and each one is worth exploring. Take a moment to observe the scenery and decorations of each resort, grab a bite to eat in one of the restaurants, or shop in the resort’s exceptional gift shop. The best part is, you do have to have a reservation in order to enter the resort areas!

3. Shop till you Drop

Shopping at Walt Disney World is like no other shopping experience, whether it be in your hotel’s gift shop, Disney Springs, or in the many shops located throughout the parks. Each shop offers many different Disney merchandise that make the perfect addition to your home. You simply cannot go to Walt Disney World without shopping at least once [a day]!

Walt Disney World offers so many different shows for all age-groups that are sure to keep the whole family entertained. Some personal favorites include “It’s a Bug’s Life” at Animal Kingdom, “Fantasmic!” at Hollywood Studios, “Festival of the Lion King” at Animal Kingdom, and “IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth” at Epcot. Every single show at Walt Disney World is sure to keep you entertained.

5. Meet Characters

What better place to meet your favorite Disney Character than at Walt Disney World.

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.
