My Favorite Rides
Magic Kingdom: Splash Mountain, Thunder Mountain, Space Mountain, The Peoplemover,  and Winnie the Pooh. The first three are great for getting your adrenaline pumping. The Peoplemover is a great ride for eating and drinking (even though you aren't supposed to) and relaxing. Winnie the Pooh is a great ride because it makes everyone feel happy. 
Epcot: Spaceship Earth, Ellen's Energy, and Test Track. Spaceship Earth and Ellen's Energy are great rides to go on if you are hot, sweaty, and tired. Test Track is a great ride because of the new design. First you get to build your own custom car on a computer, then take the real car through the track.
Hollywood Studios: My favorite rides in Hollywood Studios are: Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, Star Tours, and Toy Story Midway Mania. Tower of Terror and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster provide thrills and chills as you take on loop-the-loops, and sudden drops. Star Tours brings out the padawan in everyone. You get to soar through space in a ship! Toy Story Midway Mania has a great theme and brings out the competition in everyone.
Animal Kingdom: Kilimanjaro Safari, Expedition Everest, Kali River Rapids. I love these rides because it gives you a sense that you have left your homeland (where ever you may live) and sends you into Africa and Asia. Kilimanjaro Safari takes you on an adventure through Africa. You hop on a truck with 8 other families and you see many different wildlife creatures. I rode Expedition Everest three times in a row! The first time I rode it, I didn't have any clue on what to expect, so I closed my eyes. The second time I rode it, I opened my eyes. The third time I rode it, I got dizzy. Kali River Rapids is a great ride for when you want to cool off. You are guaranteed to get wet because of all of the geysers.
Rides That Are Okay
Magic Kingdom: Mad Tea Party and Astro Orbiter. Mad Tea Party is a fun ride, but can make you dizzy very quickly.  Astro Orbiter is basically Aladdin and Dumbo, just higher up in the air. I would not recommend going on the orbiter because it is a waste of time.
Epcot: Soarin, Living with the Land, Maelstrom. Soarin is not worth the hour wait because you go up in a chair and look at pretty scenes. Living with the Land is not a ride I would recommend, it's barely even a ride. You basically sit in a boat and learn about plants and how they adapt and survive. BOOOOORRRRRING!!!! Maelstrom is a good ride, but it sneak out after the ride to avoid a boring movie. 
Hollywood Studios: American Idol Experience. I think the American Idol Experience is okay, some of the stuff they say is too stereotypical, like the judges. The judges are trying to hard to sound like the real judges on the real show, if they were just themselves, the show would be more realistic.
Animal Kingdom: Finding Nemo, Discovery Island. Finding Nemo is a musical, it's okay, but out of 10 (10 being the best and 1 being the worst) I would give it a 5 or 6. I say this because some of the actors/actresses aren't the best singers, and you aren't guaranteed a spot where you can see the stage (sometimes you see the side of the stage more than the front.) Discovery Island has a wide variety of species, but if they made a ride for it, or a tour it would become much better.
Rides I Avoid
Magic Kingdom:The Swiss Family Treehouse, Stitch's Great Escape, and The Enchanted Tiki Room. Who is the Swiss Family? No teen has any clue who the Swiss Family is! I think they should update it to a Tarzan treehouse. Stitch's Great Escape is scary for children (it scares me too!) The Enchanted Tiki Room is a great place for napping, if you can sleep through chirping and singing birds! Otherwise, don't waste your time on this! 
Epcot: The Reflection of China. I wish Disney would put chairs so everyone could sit down while watching the movie... instead of standing! My feet are already tired from walking all around Epcot and the World Showcase, and when I walk into a theater, I expect chairs, don't you? 
Animal Kingdom: Flights of Wonder. This is a bird show. Now don't get me wrong, some of the tricks they show are actually pretty cool, but would you rather go on an exciting ride like Kali River Rapids, or watch birds?
 
BLIZZARD BEACH: Blizzard Beach is a great waterpark! I love it so much, but make sure you get to the park early so you can get a good seat. The rides are a blast but be prepared to wait in line. It gets hot outside, so bring sunscreen! I prefer Blizzard Beach over Typhoon Lagoon because Blizzard has more seating in the shade, and more seating over all. Lagoon's rides are shorter, but longer wait times, and Blizzard Beach has 

TYPHOON LAGOON: Typhoon Lagoon has many great rides in it! Though it isn't as good as Blizzard Beach, it is still a fun waterpark. Typhoon Lagoon is usually less crowded than Blizzard Beach, but still is a fun place! The Lagoon has less palm trees and less seats in shady areas.
 
Downtown Disney is a good place to spend the day if you have already been to the theme parks and water parks. I don't like Downtown Disney as much because I would rather spend the day at one of the parks or hang out at my hotel's pool. I don't like Disney Quest that much because it is really busy and boring. The stores are really fun!! The Ghiradelli store is sooooooooooo tasty! Little Miss Matched is a great store for girls because you can walk out of the store thinking, "I bought something miss matched, and no one can judge me about it!" I love Little Miss Matched because it brings out creativity in everyone!
 
Walt Disney World Marathon and Half Marathon
January 8-12, 2014
While the marathon and half marathons are taking place, it is fun to go on the rides at the theme parks. Many people are running in the race as well as watching the race so the lines for the attractions will be shorter. 

Epcot International Flower and Garden Festival
March 5- May 18, 2014
This festival is absolutely breath taking. I loved seeing all of the topiaries and flowers. The butterfly garden was so magical because inside it had the little fairies from Pixie Hollow. The flowers that were set up I absolutely loved. As an ameatur photographer,  I decided to take a whole day and walk around Epcot taking pictures. Please see my photos below.
Mickey's Not so Scary Halloween Party
This party is fabulous! During the late afternoon, anyone without a pass will have to leave the park while others with passes will come in. You get to wear your Halloween costume to the park! I love seeing everyone's unique costumes! The lines are much shorter than they usually would be because it is exclusive to only a few hundred people (you need to have a reservation). If you have finished trick-or-treating, you can go on the rides! The firework show is absolutely astonishing!
