Assignment 7: On this Date. Samantha McGehee

On October 7, 1971, a magical thing happened. Disney World opened in Orlando, Florida! This may be a particularly happy event in history, but unquestionably a significant one. Disney played a major part in my childhood and those of earlier generations. And the empire that is Disney all began with this opening. In my opinion, I would see this as a good thing. Disney generally promotes happiness, dreams and magic. And what world needs less of that? Disney has had a powerful impact on the world. The Disney empire is one that exceeds the borders of the United States and draws in millions of tourist every year. Disney can now be seen everywhere, on T.V. ( Personally, old Disney Channel is superior to new Disney Channel), in stores, in movies. Disney is definitely a cornerstone in American culture, from merchandise to the life-altering vacation to Disney World or Disney Land that seems to be a right of passage for American children.
