Magic Band To Track Behavior at Disney Parks

Now you can spend more at Disney World!

I have this recurring dream where I am in an all white room and fog is surrounding me. I am holding a goofy doll and panicking. All of a sudden a huge golfball is approaching me and a crowd of people are racing by. I start to cry and look for my parents, turning in a circle and getting more scared. My mom runs up to me and I squeeze her so hard that it wakes me up. This is a recurring dream because it actually happened to me when I was in Disney World. Well, thanks to Disney I won’t have to experience this trauma any more.

Picture yourself walking in the Bronx borough of New York heading to your home or apartment and a police officer stops you and asks to search you.

A New York Judge, Shira Scheindlin, says no. She has put a halt to searches and frisking, deeming it unconstitutional and a violation of the Fourth Amendment.

That quantity comes out to about 33 million tons of food or 66,000,000,000 lbs (that’s a lot of zeros). Americans have apparently subconsciously adopted the, “If I can’t have it nobody can,” mentality.

Not your average delivery

It comes as no surprise that delivering pizza can be a dangerous job. A college kid walking around an unfamiliar neighborhood in the middle of the night with a pocket full of cash and a hot pizza in his hand can be a tantalizing target. Sam Swicegood, a former Pizza Hut delivery man knew just how dangerous his job could potentially be. Sam was attacked one night by five teenagers while trying to deliver a pizza. But after being sucker-punched, the prepared delivery man whipped out a tent pole from his sleeve and frantically swung at his attackers defending both himself and the pizza. His act of self-defense proved effective when the teenagers fled from the pipe wielding delivery man.
