Halloween Has Arrived in the Magic Kingdom

Boo to you, Happy Halloween. Yes, it is that time of year, Halloween has finally arrived at the Magic Kingdom. You may be asking yourself, “Isn’t it too early for Halloween?It’s only the first week of September.” Yes, yes it is extremely too early. August 19th, we were already selling Halloween merchandise on the glow carts. Every year, it seems like we are rolling into the holiday season earlier and earlier. It seems like eventually it will just be Halloween and Christmas all year round. Now, don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love the holiday season, especially at the Magic Kingdom. Everything seems extra magical at the Magic Kingdom and I absolutely love celebrating Halloween in the parks, but I also think it’s way too early for Halloween. Disney needs to slow down. It isn’t even fall yet and we are already celebrating a fall holiday.

I have met some cast members who can't work during these parties due to the fact that they don't celebrate Halloween, as well as some guests. There have been little children who wanted the pumpkin necklaces we sell, or the other Halloween merchandise, but their parents say no because they don't celebrate the holiday. So, why is Disney pushing for this holiday earlier and earlier when there are some people who don't even celebrate it? I have heard from guests who get frustrated because they can't stay in the park longer on the party nights becuase the parties is celebrating something they don't believe in. Obviously, Disney cannot make everyone happy, and these parties bring in more money for the parks because it is a seperate ticket, plus extra merchandise.

Now, the question becomes, is Disney jsut so greedy that it's all about money and not respecting some of their guests? No, it isn't. Disney is a business so money is something that Disney values, yes, but these Halloween parties are also highly popular. Guests get to spend the night in the park trick-or-treating and getting to meet some of their favorites characters, such as Jack and Sally from The Nightmare Before Christmas. I always attend the Halloween parties with my family and it is just so much fun. So, by starting sooner, more guests get the opportunity to expereince this incredible party. Especially for those with small children who want to expereince Halloween, but aren't ready for any of the scary parties at other parks (or those who are too scared to attend those parties, like me).

Whether you celebrate Halloween or not, or think that Disney is greedy or not, these parties are a great way to get into the spirit of the holiday season. Next up: Christmas.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
