the happiest place on earth

It’s the happiest place on Earth
Entering into the hotel is like being hit with a gust of wind. The smiles and fast paced energy is undeniable and untamable. Hello the concierge said what can we do for you on the amazing day    it was gloomy, hardly sunny, very hot    checking into a room still at the desk, another concierge smiles and gives us all flowers he attained from a vase that wasn’t arranged to be used as gifts.

Allstar Music Resort  guitar shaped pool filled with chubby kids and international visitors they shade in the guitar making it an array of colors this only being recognized from the third floor balcony peering down soaking in the thick Florida air
It’s the happiest place on Earth
Walk in a room and instead of fresh air it is mildew undeniable mildew after hunting a while for a source a wet spot is discovered the front desk is called    moved to a suit with a 100 dollar credit happiness is radiating from four faces the suit has only one bed but hey
It’s the happiest place on Earth
Arrive at the bus stop in the early morning sun as eager as the hundreds of children in the same area  get to the park and low and behold the magic castle gray, tall, pointy, magical  a child’s dream turned into a newly adults dream come true
Suddenly engulfed into a childhood dream, suddenly become a child and suddenly so innocent. Innocence lasted for 2 days while exploring the parks  magic kingdom, tomorrowland, adventureland, frontierland, fantasyland, epcot  the summer night approaches and the fireworks begin a perfect wonderland a little fairy so magically glides upon a thin wire convincing enough to believe she’s flying  we are children again for two days wishing it could last longer, could’ve lasted longer
forgetting where we came from only knowing where we are

It’s the happiest place on Earth

  1. I really like this camera eye. I love the detail that you put into the imagery, I actually feel like I could be there. It makes me think of when I went to Disney World because I stayed in the Allstar music resort so I thought that was kind of cool. I also like how you used the reoccurring line " It's the happiest place on Earth", I think this really tied the poem together and kept the audience thinking about the one quote that the park is known for. I like how you talk about the struggles of finding a room, but in the end you didn't even care because you were in Disney World and it didn't even matter as long as you were there. I also liked how you said you felt like a kid again which I think going to Disney World is all about.

  2. I love how much passion about your 'happiest place on Earth' that is depicted in this. You can really feel the happiness and excitement behind the words. I love how the structure of this camera eye felt like you were taking us on a tour of your experience with every gust of wind and wide range of emotions. My favorite line in this was "Suddenly engulfed into a childhood dream, suddenly become a child and suddenly so innocent." I felt that this displayed how you can never be too old to go to Disney World and for a little while it can take you back to your childhood. I, myself, love Disney and have been there too many times to count. It really is the happiest place on Earth with only fond memories with my family, princesses, getting autographs and best of all watching my favorite, Tinker Bell, fly across the rope before the park closed.

  3. As I read this I kept thinking back to the two times I went to Disney World a few years back. I always become reminded of the mickey mouse statue and the tower of terror when I rode on it. It makes me feel like I'm a kid again, worrying about nothing but what ride am I going to get on next and if I can go see Tinkerbell or Peter Pan. I love the amount of detail you put into this camera eye. I feel like if someone just skimmed through it, they would still know that this is you talking about Disney World. I really enjoyed reading it. Disney World is about having a good time and remembering the haply things in life, and I believe that's what this camera eye is about. I liked that you constantly kept adding "the happiest place On earth" whenever you could, because to children, and some adults... It really is the happiest place on earth and somewhere where people love to take there kids.
