When I was at Walt Disney World, these are the 8 attractions I enjoyed the most.
-
Toy Story Mania
Wear 3-D glasses and enjoy an interactive ride where the goal is to shoot projectiles like eggs, darts, balls, and rings. See a variety of characters including Toy Story’s Woody, Buzz, Hmm, Bo Peep and Green Army Men. This is a very popular ride, so it’s best to get a FAST PASS. This is by far my favorite ride. I made it to the beaver (based on your score, you are given an animal).
On a trip to Walt Disney World, my fiance and I also stopped at Epcot Future World. We started at 11:30 AM and was able to enjoy 10 attractions by 8 PM.
First we went to get a FASTPASS for Test Track (a fast attraction aboard a GM vehicle), if you want to ride it. Usually by early afternoon, the FASTPASSES run out. This is Disney’s system that reduces amount of time you spend in line. It is free and you put your park pass into a machine near an attraction with FASTPASS-noted in your map. It will give you the time you can return and when you can get another FASTPASS. With a FASTPASS you usually only have to wait 5 minutes for a ride you would normally be standing in line for for an hour.
Epcot World Showcase is a fun and relaxing theme park. Here are tips and places to check out while you’re here.
-
Obtain Map and Show times guide as you explore each area.
-
Passport is a great way to explore the park.
You can get it “stamped” at each land by a cast member. Epcot sells these passports at any of the shops or carts for $10. It comes with a pin and a set of stickers.

Personal Experience: I ate here on July 3rd. We made a dinner reservation for 8:40 PM (which was made 2 months in advance). I had a delicious crab soup for appetizer and salmon with lemon caper sauce for the main dish. For desert I had a creme brulee. The atmosphere was excellent as we were also able to see the fireworks (4th of July special).

Recently my fiance and I had the opportunity to go to Walt Disney World in Orlando, Florida. In order to maximize our time, we planned ahead. This is a sample of my itinerary for July 3rd. It was a busy day in the park, but we were still able to see a lot of the attractions.
Started at 11:30 AM. First made our way toward Adventureland to eat lunch at the quick service eatery El Pirata y El Perico Restaurante. Located across from the Pirates of the Caribbean, the menu includes tacos, veggie taco and a taco salad. I had the taco sald, which was really good.
Recently I attended a seminar on suicide prevention. The most recent statistics (taken from the 2005 data from American Association of Suicidology) are staggering:
-
There are 33,000 suicides per year.
-
Suicide accounts for more deaths than homicide.
-
60% of us will personally know someone who dies by suicide.
-
Montana has the highest rate of suicide in the United States.
-
Rate of suicide increases with age.
-
1100 college students die by suicide (20-24 years).
-
There are 832,500 reported suicide attempts per year.
-
Women attempt 3 times more than men.
