The place where your dreams come true

DISNEY WORLD

The Walt Disney World was opened in 1971 in Lake Buena Vista, in Florida with just one park and two resort hotels. 

It was dedicated by Roy E. Disney and he declared "May Walt Disney World bring Joy and Inspiration and New Knowledge to all who come to this happy place...a Magic Kingdom where the young at heart of all ages can laugh and play and learn -- together".

Ever since the opening day, Disney World expanded gradually. Today, it consists of four major Disney theme parks, two water parks, six golf courses and the Downtown Disney places. 

Today, I want to introduce 10 FUN FACTS about the Disney World!

1.Cinderella's Castle is made out of fiberglass, and it is 189 feet tall.

2. Mickey has more than 290 outfits, from a scuba suit to a lighted tuxedo. Minnie has more than 200 outfits, from cheerleading attire to evening gowns.

3. Inside the upper levels of Cinderella's Castle is an apartment that Walt Disney intended to use when he and his family were in Florida. It was left unfinished when he died, until Disney announced in 2006 that it would be turned into a deluxe suite, which is awarded randomly to a family every day. It comes complete with 24-karat gold tile floors and a "magic mirror" that turns into a television.

4.  It takes 68 years to stay in a different room every night at the Disney World resorts

5. Disney World decorates more than 1,500 Christmas trees at holiday time.

6.  When Disney World opened, adult admission to the Magic Kingdom cost $3.50. Today it costs $85.

The Hippie Fashion in the 1970s

HIPPIE FASHION

The hippie fashion style we wear today has a rich history behind it. The hippie movement, incited mostly by young people, was started in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The hippie fashion is defined by a carefree, non-conformist attitude toward life, love, and politics. Hippies inherited a tradition from bohemians and the beat generation in the late 1950s. 

Around the late 1960s, many young people were concerned with social values; their passion and resulting actions developed into an anti war movement. Some hippies opposed Australian involvement in the Vietnam War, while others were concerned about nature. In the early 1970s, young people strongly called for peace, love, and freedom.

These often nomadic hippies were frequent drug users. Their style was inspired by non-Western cultures, such as Indian and African. Hippie clothing is usually made out of natural fibers and free flowing materials. Flowing and romantic fabrics are very popular among hippies.
