Not Everybody Is Down With Disney Parks And That's A Little Sad

As the old saying goes, "you can't please everyone."

Not Everybody Is Down With Disney Parks And That's A Little Sad
MaxPixel

If you're a big fan of the Disney Parks, you might have noticed that some changes are about to be underway, which is really exciting! If you follow the Disney Parks pages on social media, as well as some fan pages, you might see that some commenters have totally shielded themselves from the changes. Lastly, if you've been to any Disney Park recently, you may hear some negative commenters in line. It could be the growing trend of grumpy people across the nation, or it could be people who are simply afraid of change. Either way, it was Walt Disney himself who said, "progress is impossible without change."

As a frequent park goer and former cast member, here are some comments that I've noticed that make me a little sad.

"Disney has lost the magic"

Actually, Disney has become more magical, if anything. I believe the reason people say this is because it's no longer the Disney that they grew up with. While part of me is sad about that too, I disagree that the magic is lost. Think of all the new magic to be created, especially with Star Wars and Marvel characters. Everyone is happy because they can meet their favorite princess and their favorite superheroes. Some of the older rides are being remade into new experiences, but the new experiences may become new traditions. Disney is always magical, let's never forget that.

The FastPass Line is no longer a FastPass Line

Except you don't sign up to walk right on the ride. The FastPass "rules" state that you will get little to no wait time. I don't know about you, but I'd rather wait 15 minutes for Peter Pan's Flight than 90 minutes, but that's just me.

"I'm no longer going to Disney because..."

I've heard it all. Too expensive. Too big of crowds. Too much Star Wars. Not enough Star Wars. Epcot has too many festivals. People will think of pretty much anything. The truth is, Disney is going to continue to grow and expand, in attractions and crowds. While they consider guest satisfaction, not everything can be restored back to its former glory.

As the old saying goes, "you can't please everyone."

AI music threatens creativity

The Soul of Sound: How AI Challenges Human Expression in Music

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.

Why Your Astrological Sign May Not Match Your Personality

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.
