Anyone Else Miss The 80s And 90s As Much As Me :(?

remember when the 80s and 90s were like those carefree times? Like, no high tech gadgets like touch screens or slider cellphones and Walkmans were the coolest things ever? I miss the old, low quality and definition commercals. like, the tootsie pop commercials or the old cartoons like Rockos Mordern Life or Magic School Bus. Life was just simple.
2000 just isn’t the same. ): too much special effects and Hollywood garbage. Too many high tech gadgets, its hard to keep up.
Don’t you just wish you could go back in time? Back to rubiks cubes and cassette tapes?
I do…

Would This Be To Much Like The Harry Potter Books….?

Ok so I have been researching names for a story I’m hoping to write, but I don’t want to get told off for copying J.K. Rowling’s masterpiece!
So I found names I like, like Draco (I love Draco from Harry Potter)
Would it be plagurism if I used the name Draco for my main character? It will be about magic also…. not like a magic school, but see my other questiom to know what its about….
I LOVE LORD VOLDEMORT!

Going To Disney World For The First Time, And For Two Days. How Much And What Can We Do?

Two parents, 11 year old and me, 14 years old. We’re going to get the park hopper tickets (think) for the four parks in mid/late april. We’ve never gone before and I’m in charge of the itinerary. I printed out the park maps and wow! That’s huge. Way more than two days worth of stuff. We’re going to get there after the park closes and spend the night and be there in the morning then stay there all day, go back to the hotel, spend the whole day the next day and then drive back to my grandfather’s place (about 1 and a half hours away).
Is it worth staying at one of the disney hotels or should we get a hotel room outside of disney? Inexpencive Hotel suggestions? Also, do you know the cheapest resteraunt(s) at disney? And does anyone have any information on the firework shows and the best place(s) to be when you see it? We were thinking ti would be nice to watch the fire works at epcot (or so we heard that they’re their) over dinner, but not sure if that’s possible. Do we call and reserve something?
I’ve learned about the fast passes but not sure if they’re worth doing If you can only get one ever two hours.
So what should we see (we’re firt timers and all). Definitely Not to interested in meeting the characters. We’ll definentally hit space mountain and splash mountain, but asides from that what else are the must see’s (minding that we’ve only got two days there).
We’ll definitly spend a whole day at magic kingdom (I’ve heard that’s where you get most of the ‘disney’ experience) unless you think we’ll have time for more. as for the second day, I have no clue and need some help.
So answers/tips/suggestion/advice would be very much appreciated. I’ll be definentally picking a best answer for this question (10 points or whatever you get for getting best answer).
P.S. Is the animal safari worth our time? I’ve heard the whole Animal kingdom is like a zoo, but to me that everest mountain thing sounds fun…what do ya’ll think?

Too Much For A Toddler?

I’m going to Orlando Florida from Feb 18 to the 24th. It will be my husband, me and our super energetic 19 month old son. So far I got tickets to Universal Studios (he absolutely loves Spongebob) for unlimited while we are there but thinking maybe 2 days there. I was thinking Seaworld for the shows which I think he would love and then maybe Disney World too but the tickets seem so much. They even have a smaller zoo around that only costs $10 instead animal kingdom at Disney World. For Disney World I think he would get a kick out of Magic Kingdom and the Behind the scenes one (don’t remember the name) but I would hate to spend $300 to get him for me and my husband. Do you think it would be too much to get in on one day for Disney World? Even more so do you think I’m planning too much for a toddler even though he can outlast me on energy some days? I’m deploying for a year a week after we get back so I want as much fun me and him time as possible with tons of good memories before I leave.
