Writing a short speech for exam. Can anyone suggest words to use ?

[CarolynU]

Disneyworld unites generations as happy memories of childhood are repeatedly passed on through the ages.
Whether you are a grandparent, parent or child you all bonded by the same emotions. No matter your age you become children once more in a place where reality is suspended.

So I would suggest is using speeches written by others on the dibb! A few pointers however I'm sure would be OK.

It's the extension of the animated tales transformed into a reality where children can meet their heroes and foes.

We're all children, we just choose to be adults most of the time.

The Disney Magic gets into you and you know you'll be coming back.


Or

Many fans find they're always either at WDW or planning their next visit

I would avoid cliche like "Where dreams come true", "making memories" etc

Let's face it, how many places are there where 2 apparently sensible adults can wear silly hats and Ears; choose to eat or drink anywhere in the world; watch a show, film or fireworks; go on safari; ride a bus, boat, train, skyliner, balloon or monorail; visit space, the sea, the wild west and the jungle; be educated on ecology, history and geography; play golf, swim, meet a princess; shop for anything you want; cry, laugh, be terrified and amazed; talk to animals and cartoon characters; enjoy fantasies and go trick or treating without being locked up?

They are cliches completely but I genuinely tried to work out what does make me personally happy about Disney.
It’s no longer the rides or characters as I’ve done them to death! I no longer stand on Main St and feel a buzz just being there, but for me it’s just about re-creating what I experienced with my own children with my grandchildren. Then it’s about why those memories invoke happiness as an emotion rather than anything else.
That’s much harder to quantify.
So if you avoid the cliches of memories, magic etc are you in danger of coming up with a more academic answer which sounds better and maybe more intelligent but strips away what in essence is the unquantifiable aspect of Disney as opposed to Alton Towers?
Personally I think the parks and Disney Brand have created a masterpiece of marketing and people are prepared to spend small fortunes travelling across the world just to stand in lines often in the intense humidity just to experience it. So what makes us do it? No idea but we do!
And for the purposes of this exercise we have to prove that we are happy doing it!
So strip out making memories or a perceived magic then it makes the concept even less logical.
So I’m genuinely curious.
Some people even get into debt in order to go to WDW so something must make them feel that the happiness experienced makes that sacrifice worth it?!
What precisely is it explain without cliches. I’m intrigued!

I may have misread/interpreted the OP question for "English Speaking test" i assumed a GSCE A level or higher where i assumed something more than "its magical" was in need

maybe im wrong?

Personally im too old & cynical to ever buy into the happiest place on earth marketing

yes our daughter loved it when she was smaller but the only time she ever burst into tears was the day when she was 8 & we left Universal for the last time to fly home later that day

I appreciate the vast majority on here are far far more invested in the whole Disney thing than me

Oh is this for an A level? I missed that. It’s decades and decades since I took those haha!
My own children were besotted with Disney as are my grandchildren of seven and four but I now prefer much more varied experiences and can’t see me going back possibly at all. Im entering the more leisurely phase of my life ha ha!

With my teacher hat on and depending on the level the exam is at GCSE/A Level etc.

I'd introduce the topic by saying Disney uses the phrase 'happiest/most magical place on earth' in its marketing. Then define the terms happiest/magical as she intends to use them in her discussion (e.g magical as in creating a feeling of wonder and awe as opposed to magic in the rabbit in a hat sense). Then go into her discussion, then conclude with wether she thinks the marketing descriptors Disney uses are accurate or not.
