Which is Better?

Disney World

The 42 year old Orlando, Florida attraction  created by Walt Disney, had 10,000 people   attend its opening. Disney world only closed three times since its opening because of hurricanes. It is the size of San Francisco but only about 35 percent of its more than 27,000 acres have been developed. Mickey Mouse has more than 290 outfits and Minnie has more than 200 outfits. Cinderella's castle is made out of fiberglass, and stands 189 feet tall.   Disney World's biggest theme park, Animal     Kingdom, Animal Kingdom, takes up 403 acres   and features more than 3,000 species. Disney   has more than 270 busses, making it the third largest bus system in the state. In           Cinderella's castle is an apartment that Walt Disney was going to use when he and his family were in Florida. Now it is a deluxe suite. If you were to stay in a different room every night at the Disney World resorts, to sleep in them all would take you 68 years.

Movie Review 


Grace Unplugged

crossmap.christianpost.com


A father-daughter duo has built their life singing for their church.  When one of their songs becomes famous, the daughter--Grace--goes behind her father's back to make a name for herself.  The music business is not all that she had hoped for, however, and soon drugs and alcohol steer her away from her church upbringing.  Will love and faith help bring Grace back to her family?

The movie's soundtrack and teen themes are appealing to the middle school audience.
