For me, Nelson's comparisons of Disney's Epcot and the World's Fairs of 1893 and 1939 transformed the Fairs from alien events to tangible ones. I was able to recount my experiences at Epcot and develop a personal connection with the Fair's that inspired Disney as I read Nelson's passage. I remembered that when visiting Epcot, I am often attracted to the World Showcase rather than the mechanical and futuristic attractions in the other half of the park. While I have spent a decent amount of time…

A long time ago, DisneyLand used to be the most popular children’s amusement park in the world, but things have changed since then. Then, it all came crashing down, and DisneyLand was abandoned and forgotten in history. It all started because of one peculiar ride, Small World. Small World was a children’s ride where you ride in a wooden boat along the water. Small to-like animatronics would pop up and dance and sing. Despite the long line, children enjoyed this ride so much until, August 10th…

It was a sunny day in August and we were off to Walt Disney World for a week full of fun. We were all excited and could not wait until we were able to get to the parks and ride everything. However, when the rest of the family went to ride something that I was too chicken to ride, I would have to wait for them at the end of the ride. I would always tell myself this could be the year that I will find the courage to ride some of the big thrill seeker rides here at Disney. After all, I was 34…
