So do you want to be happy? Then I suggest that you take yourself down to the happiest place on earth. Yes, the happiest place on earth! I suggest you take yourself down to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. I don’t think a single place in this world can ever be filled with so many happy people at all once, other than Disney World. Well I have to say that since both Disney World and Universal Studios are in Orlando, maybe the whole term can be applied to Orlando itself, as people generally visit both places, and everyone there is just so happy! I went down to Orlando in the summer with my cousins, and I’ve got to say, I probably have never felt happier or ever seen so many happy people. It was as if I was living in a dream world, which was just so perfect. Everybody emphasized ‘smiling’. For example, I went to a Dunkin Donuts there, and the guy at the registrar was smiling huge and telling each and every customer “Smile. It won’t hurt you to smile.” The positive attitude may come from it being the happiest place on earth. Everything besides the weather was perfect. If you love thunder and rain, which I personally do, then the weather may also be perfect. However,  it was really hot! Other than that, I had an amazing time there.

Disney World is not only a place for kids, as many people may assume, but also for adults. It is a place where everyone forgets about all their worries, and just takes a break, immersing themselves in ‘the ideal world’ filled with magic. It has 4 parks which are filled with the magic and mystery of happiness. Happiness surrounds each and every corner of the parks. It all starts with the Magic Kingdom, where Cinderella’s castle is located. In the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique, little girls can be transformed into princesses. I loved was the electrical parade at night, along with the fireworks, and the presentation on the castle. I think everyone was especially moved by the presentation, in which images were projected on to the castle. It was a show in a way, promoting then idea that you should believe in the beauty of your dreams. I will never forget that heartwarming experience.

Another park is Epcot which is divided into sections imitating other countries. You can find the country’s food and cultural events in those areas. In the night, there are fireworks and there is a presentation on the big, white globe Epcot is famous for. Now, if you don’t find your country in Epcot, don’t panic, because you still have a chance to find it in Animal Kingdom, which is also split by countries. The other park is Hollywood Studios, in which you can experience all the magic of the movies, and even go on the Tower of Terror.

As you make your way across the parks, you get a chance to meet the characters and take pictures with them. You can watch the various presentations or musicals held throughout the day, enjoy delicious food, sing, dance, and become a kid again, living your own fairytale. The happy atmosphere produces happy people. Everyone is basically a tourist, most of them coming from outside of the United States. Everyone was very friendly, happy, and just there to enjoy. Evreryone had smiles on their faces, as they made their way thought the parks with the people they love.

I especially met many people from England, but I think that’s because of the Harry Potter park in Universal Studios, which I absolutely loved as well. For me, a huge harry potter fan, I definitely lived my dreams in Hogsmeade and Hogwarts. Drinking butterbeer, which I’ve only read about again and agiain in the books was enlightening. The castle and shops, from inside and outside, were just how I had imagined them. Even the bathroom lived up to my expectations, being just like from the books and movies.

If you want to be around happy people, experience the magic of happiness, and live your own fairytales and dreams, then Disney World is the place for you. Maybe even stop by to Universal Studios, the second happiest place on earth. I know I was very happy in both places, living a fairytale, a dream, like no other, with everyone doing the same around me.
