    Disney World Opens
    On October 1, 1971in Orlando, Florida, Walt Disney World opened. The initial people who opened Disney World was the Walt Disney World Company. Today, Disney World is the largest vacation resort in the world. Walt Disney's dream was to create a place where people could be young at heart, play and laugh, but still be able to learn. But he never reached the goal on his own because he unfortunately died. Disney immediately became a huge success and it started building onto what they started.

    The construction of Disney World is very important. America was in a tough time when it was built. People needed to be entertained. Disney is also very successful. Every kid today would like to go to Disney World.

    I would also want to tell everyone in 1971 what exactly Disney World will be like in the future. The only thing I would change about this event is that I would want Walt Disney to be there. Walt Disney should be able to see what he is named after and what he started.

    That is why so many people go to Disney World every year. There is only one thing I would change about Disney World opening. I would want Walt Disney to be there. Walt Disney should be able to see what he is named after and what he started.

    Walt Disney World automatically became a huge hit and people all over the world were coming to visit. Walt Disney was trying to make the world a happier place. The United States was going through WW2 at this point and he tried to change the chaos into peace. Walt Disney changed the US by making it a more joyful place. People thought Walt Disney was a magician for how he created entertainment. They really liked him.

    Disney World would change the entertainment world forever. Media is able to make Disney even more epic than it already was. When Disney was first built, it shaped how exciting it was going to be in the future. Walt Disney also inspired other corporations to be successful. Media in the future can make you see characters and roller coaster rides like you could never before. Disney World is very expensive. In 1971, one ticket for a child was just $3.50. Now, one ticket costs approximately $100.
  • Building of the Twin Towers

    Building of the Twin Towers
    On April 4, 1973, the World Trade Center's construction was finished. The Twin Towers stood at 110 stories each, and had 50,000 workers and 200,000 visitors. New York governor Nelson Rockefeller considered the building of these buildings and that it would benefit the city.

    Minoru Yamasaki was hired as the architect of the World Trade Center. He decided on creating two huge towers. The towers were a top tourist attraction and a symbol of New York and the progress of the future. The governor was hoping that this would show progression in New York.

    The building of the World Trade Center was a positive impact on people living when it was created. Thousands of people were employed, and even more people were visiting the towers. These buildings would change the course of history, especially in the 21st century. This event was very special because in was a big change to

    New York City and brought more visitors to the city. This would also play a big role in the future of American events. The creation also had a negative impact that made people think different about New York.
  • Twin Towers 6

    When the World Trade Center was bombed on September 11, 2001, the towers were looked at even more closely. This was one of the most tragic events in American history. The US military took control of the situation after the buildings were bombed by Islamic terrorists.

    The military attempted to shut down these terrorists. The mastermind behind the bombing, Osama Bin Laden, was eventually killed by US forces in 2011. Americans today still dislike Islam because of what happened. Our country is an enemy to the Islam terrorists today. People are still doing research on the World Trade Center and the terrorists that have bombed it.

    I wouldn't change too much about the building of the World Trade Center except for that I would warn everyone about the future of what was going to happen. The construction of the towers was a positive idea just until it was interrupted in 2001. The only reason this building was a bad impact was when it was bombed. Before, it contributed in giving 50,000 jobs out. To me, that is a positive impact on New York City.
