  • Disney Specialist's Walt Disney World Travel Guide
    A Disney Specialist's Walt Disney World Travel Guide Honors Thesis (Honors 499) By Samantha Maynard Thesis Advisor: ~~~'-I? /-;§;~ Melvin Sharpe, Department of Journalism Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana Spring 2004 Graduation May 2004 This thesis could not have been completed without the help of several individuals. The support and patience I received made this possible. Melvin Sharpe, Thesis Advisor - Dr. Sharpe led me step-by-step through the processes I needed to complete not only for his requirements but those of the Honors College. His advice was invaluable and his time even more so. Thank you, Dr. Sharpe, for all that you did for me. Amanda Goings and Heather Goad - Two friends who spent more than their fair share of time listening to me prattle on about Walt Disney World, and provided much needed comic relief. Rosalyn Dowling, Disney Travel Specialist - Ms. Dowling helped fuel my fire when it came to creating this project. Her knowledge and expertise were excellent resources. And finally ... My parents, Jon and Debbie Maynard - The support you have given means more to me than you will ever know. My grandparents, John and Betty Maynard - Gramps and Granny, you never stopped encouraging me. This thesis is dedicated to the memory of my Mom, January 30, 1956 - July 28, 2003. Photo in front of the Imagination Institute on my 21 sl birthday, September 26, 2002. This thesis is divided into two distinct halves. The first half is meant solely for the reader to understand why the thesis was created, how it was created, plus the results and conclusions derived from the research.
