Ride Reviews 3
I might not do that many more ride reviews, but I'm not sure......Anyway I'm going to do fun family rides that aren't really thrill rides like roller coasters.
Toy Story Midway Mania-Get to the park when it opens and grab a fastpass or you're looking at a pretty long wait time. Even if you have a fastpass, you still have to wait a little; it's so popular. This ride is probably the most popular ride in all of Disney World and it's only been out for about 3 or 4 years. I've only been on it once, but I loved it. It's awesome! It's 4-D! So you get into your cart thing, and you play all sorts of games, but it's like 3-D. There are games where you throw pins to pop ballons and when you pop a balloon, you feel the air. How cool is that!? They even made a video game of this for wii. I have it and it's just like the ride. It even comes with 3-D glasses! This ride is awesome and I would wait in line 2 hours to go on because it's so worth it. Anyone who says this ride isn't worth it is crazy and hasn't lived. You even get to see your score and if you made it into the top categories at the end.
Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin-I love it! You get into your cart thing and you can spin a 360 degree angle; pretty cool. So the story is something with Evil Emperor Zurg. As you go through, you see targets everywhere. With the laser on your cart, you have to shoot the targets to get points. Try to get as many points as you can. My highest score was 150,000. I'm not that good, I only got that much because when I went on, towards the end where you're going through space and have to shoot at the ship, my ride got stuck so we were waiting there for about 10 minutes. So I got a free-be to get more points. It also stopped for a minute or two throughout the ride, but that barely made a difference. Then our score froze so we couldn't play the last level. :( Anyway at the end when you get your final score, you look at the list (you'll see it) and you can see where you ranked. Thuis ride is a lot of fun and everyone all ages loves it. Even if they don't, they should. (in my opinion.)
These are 2 of my favorite rides, mainly because I LOVE Toy Story. Every time I go to Disney, these are must do's.

Duct Tape?!
So I bought a roll of lime green duct tape and made a little wallet out of it and brought it to use at school. I also made a bigger regular sized wallet for my friend. Now a lot of people are asking me to make one for them (I have 5 requests from just 1 day!) they're even willing to pay. Do you think I should sell them? I'm not sure because I made big ones and little ones so they'd have different prices and I'd feel bad taking people's money when they can make it themselves. I also think I might get in trouble at school for taking money from people by selling them things. What do you think! Leave a comment and if you know me, email me or text me for something because I need an opinion! (oh and y friends think I should make like a mini business. One of them wants to be my assistant and another one says he knows how I can make my own website)

Ride Reviews 2
Part 2 of ride reviews:
BIG THUNDER MOUNTAIN- Awesome! I've been on this like, 10 times. It doesn't go very fast, but it's so much fun! There are no drops, just sharp turns and stuff like that. I actually got to on and I got the frog seat at night while they were doing the fireworks! How awesome is that?! But after you go on a lot, it gets less exciting because you've been on it do many times and you know what's going to happen. It's really good for kids that have never been on a tiler coaster. It's not like too big but it's nothing like a kiddie coaster.
SPLASH MOUNTAIN- I went on for my first time this last time I went. I didn't know it was like a ride. I thought you got on, went up the mountain, dropped, and it was over. I was totally wrong! There's a whole big story and I really liked it. Throughout the story part, you do go through a couple little drops, but they're nothing. If you're in the front row, after every little drop, there's a splash (I was in the second to zlast row so I'm not sure about this) but it looks like they got hit with the splash every time. I'm not positive about that, but if you don't want to get too wet, don't sit in te front row. At the end thy make a big deal saying danger huge drop, you know stuff like that. You slowly go up and slowly go around and then you see the drop and you plunge down 50 feet! Keep your head up and smile for the picture though! It's over before you know it. The drop isn't really that steep. Whenever I go through a steep drop, I get a sinking feeling in my stacy but I didn't really get it for this drop. It was really fun and I barely got wet.
Well that's all for today. I'm uploading this on my iPod so that's why it looks different. I'll do more tomorrow.

Ride Reviews!!! :D
So yeah, since I went to Disney, I went on a TON (almost-ish all). I'm going to review the ones I went on this time (last week) and last time before that (6 months ago).
Tower of Terror-AWESOME!!!! I thought I hated drops, but it turns out I was wrong! You do watch a video before you get on the ride, so the ride does have a story line. The story might be creepy for some people. Yes, it's 13 stories, but you don't drop them all at once. You go all the way up, and then you drop, (not all the way) and then you go up and drop for a couple more times and then it's over before you realize you didn't die and actually enjoyed it.
Space Mountain- LOVED IT!!! This one goes pretty fast, but nothing to get scared about if you love that feeling like I do. I went on 5 times and it's impossible to get sick of it! There are also 2 different tracks; they're mirror images. When you're walking in, I personally like the track to your right better, but that's just my opinion. Oh, and I learned that they take your picture right after the blue tunnel where you think you're going to crash. My friend and I had fun posing for our pictures!
Everest- Umm, I didn't really love this one. I forget what made me so scared because I haven't been on in 6 months(I was too scared to go this time), but I did not enjoy the part where you go backwards. You're going up and down, not a lot but,you go up, the track's broken, you get a minute to realize you never should've gone on, and then you plunge backwards so fast. I hated the part when you uphill backwards because it's so steep you're leaning on your knees and can't get up, and people say it feels like they're going upside down. I didn't feel it and when I went on a ride where you do go upside down, I didn't feel it either. If you're not a fan of huge and scary looking roller coasters, you wouldn't like Everest that much.
So that's all the reviews of MY OPINIONS of these rides. I'll post more tomorrow!

New Look
So yeah, I changed the background, color, font, and that stuff of my blog. Do you like it? I think the font might be kind of hard to read so I'll probably change that. I just wanted to change some things up. :)

It's Been Over a Week! :-o
Omg I know, I haven't blogged in over a week! I have 2 very lovely excuses: 1) It was my birthday last week. Yay I'm 12! And 2) I was in Disney. Yah, I know awesome! But yes, on my YouTube I'll be uploading a haul video of what I got from Disney, maybe a birthday one, and maybe some pictures! But let me explain the whole Disney thing. You see, my bffl, was going on a big family vacation with her whole mom's side. ( I know, sounds like a lot of fun) and she has 2 older cousins and 2 younger. Way older and way younger. Sad, right? So her mom invited me to go so she wouldn't get lonely and of course I said yes! Who wouldn't say yes to going to Disney with their best friend!? So yeah, I went to Disney for a week! We drove and from where I live, it's a pretty long drive. So here was our schedule:
Day 1) Drive all day until we hit north Florida. Then we spend the night at a hotel.
Day 2) Drive 2 hours and get to Orlando! Check into the hotel, and go to Magic Kingdom! We met up with her family in the afternoon. Then we went to Epcot and had dinner in Mexico. We went and explored our giant hotel room and got settled in.
Day 3) Animal Kingdom! Went on rapids, got wet, and went on Dinosaur and got totally scared! No, I'm too big of a chicken to go on Everest. But I've been on it before.
Day 4) Epcot! I went on Test Track, Soarin', had lunch with princesses, and walked through the food and wine festival. (I didn't have anything, though)
Day 5) Hollywood Studios! I saw the car stunt show, Lights, Motors, Action, went on Star Wars, and yes, Tower of Terror. It was AWESOME! I loved it and you should go on even if you hate drops because I thought I hated drops, but I was so wrong! Oh, and of course I saw Muppets I love that show!
Day 6) Last day :( We went to DownTown Disney and after we ate lunch at the hotel, (by the way, we stayed at Saratoga Springs, totally oo la la) we started driving home. We drove through the night so this morning, we were home!
I'll write reviews of show and rides I went on tomorrow!
