Day trip to Disney world? -

My sister and I are taking our cousin (she s turning 6) to Disney World for her birthday in February ( it s her 1st time) We are planing on get a hotel room for 1 night and going to disney for a day. My question is which night should we stay at the hotel room1) I would like to go to Orlando on a Saturday stay the night then go to disney then drive home that night2) my sister want to wake up early saturday drive to orlando ( 2 and half hour drive maybe shorter) then go straight to disney then stay the night wake up sunday go home we can t stay both nights i wish we couldthank you

Take option 2, at the end of the day in the park you ll be exhausted.

I honestly find it better to stay the night after going to the park. Reason being you get tired after walking around all day and a drive home may end in disaster if you are exhausted. I will let you know that it will be bust that time of year and you may want to plan what you really want to see and go from there. I live 2 hours from Disney and go a couple times a year.

i think that you can not get all of the park in 1 day with comin in the middle day or leavin early but if you have to i think you should do the 2 because after you have walked all over the park you will want sleep i also think you should plan on what you want to see and ride that way you get in all you want and your sister and cousin hope you have fun!

Get up early and drive and go to DW - middle of the day go and check in to your hotel - take a short nap or just relax - then go back to the park. If you don t stay late at the park you don t get to see the fireworks etc. Then go back to hotel sleep and go home the next day.

One day is never enough but if it is all you have I would go to the Magic Kingdom. Have fun.

Chances of getting into Northside Prep. in Chicago? -

Hello! Well, I am currently an eighth grader attempting to get into Northside Prep In Chicago, Il. I have a s in all my classes, a 4.33 grade average, and I scored a 99 in reading, and 93 in math on my isats. I have a stanine of 9 for each, even though the minimum for Northside is 5. My science teacher lives around the Kedzie area, and she told me not to be too hard on myself if I dont get in. She told me thousands of people apply, but only two hundred are accepted. My local igh school is TERRIBLE, so i am trying to ge tinto a selective enrollment school .So, what are my chances of getting in? How do they base their decision? PLEASE help me out, with these questions and other questions/answers related to this. Thanks! i am super nrervous and need help!

First of all it s great you got a 99 in reading, but they only count the reading comprehension part. Worst part is they don t even tell you. You have to do good on your entrance exam, especially the math portion. Which census tract are you located in 1,2,3,4? That helps determine on your acceptance. Be extremely careful though, missing 1percentile can ruin all your chances. This one person I know got 989 and was not accepted. I got 90 in reading comp. and 99 math, but I live in a lower census tract so that helps. You can find your census tract at selectiveenrollment.org if you haven t already. Other wise I d say you have a pretty good chance. Good Luck, hopefully we both can get in! I don t want to go to my neighborhood school wither. Mather...

you would have to do great on the selective enrollment test that is coming up soon, if you do good on that then you should get in. just so you know your current grades aren t looke at, they look at your 7th grade final grades. Good luck, and also, you can apply to four selective enrollment schools, i think you know that, walter payton is the hardest out of all to get into, then northside, then whitny young, so i hope you put whitney young as your second choice.
