Great American Vacation Destinations

Disneyland
The tourists in the movie are enjoying their visit and the crowds seem calm, happy and enjoyable. On the streets, you can see people playing instruments while the tourists interact by dancing and laughing. When I visited Disneyland, my experience was not the same as the tourists. I felt as my experience was much faster, loud and I was in a rush to see everything. I did not see anyone one the corner signing to tourists but instead people approached the musicians. Even though I had a great time when I was in Disneyland, the streets where so crowded that, I found myself lost and missing a lot of building a couple of times. Main Street has not changed a lot as much since 1959 but rather the tourists shaped Main Street as we see it today. How other people act, impact your vacation. At Disneyland, you find yourself standing in lines more often. It’s a well-known place, which attracts many people. When on vacation at Disneyland, one’s aggressive behavior can come out in order to satisfy there vacation. It is true that new rides and buildings where added since 1959 but Disneyland for the most part stayed the same.

America At Leisure (American Memory Project)

Princeton and Yale football game

College football is still an excitement for many sports fan. Rounding up about a million die hard fans, football is still a tradition. Watching young men one day catching the game winning touchdown and the next day turning to NFL stars has not changed. However, what has changed in college football is the ego of the players. Sad to say is getting to their head and the games are starting to become boring. Players are becoming too focused on their image, and not just playing for the love of the game. Everything is in high definition and close up of players reaction takes focused off the game being played. Also, ex-football players spend hours before a game, conversing about whom they predict is going to win. As a result, football has changed into a career, rather than an extra-curricular activity.

Claremont Theater, N.Y.

Theaters like the Claremont use to be a community involvement. Everyone came out to watch a movie to enjoy. It has changed now to a family activity also becomes a place friends came to meet. People in someone’s personal circle enjoyed the theaters with them. In addition, multiple movies are played in separate rooms by far different from old theaters. It is offering a variety of movies to choose. Theaters have changed dramatically but still an asset to American culture. Experiences at the theaters can bring out different behaviors of someone depending on the film. For example, certain films can touch a person resulting them to cry, or comedy films makes a person laugh and have a good time.
