 Would you go to Star Wars Universe at Disney World (Why)? Page SA3 "Bring the galaxy closer...."

Yes I would go to Star Wars Universe. I would go because I love Star Wars. I would love to see all the props and what types of things the used to create the props in the movie.  The effects in the new Star Wars: The Force Awakens was amazing in my opinion, so I would love to see the things they used. I was wondering if the ships were actually life size or not so I  would like to go to Star Wars to see things in the movie and ask questions about the movie. I would also love to see some the props because I think it would be cool because it is just like art. 

Short Answer: If I could buy lottery tickets I probably would not. I would not buy lottery tickets because I feel like they are a waste of money other than the about 1% chance you win. I also feel like lottery tickets are almost like drugs. Once you buy them you will want to continue to buy more and more hoping you will win. I also feel that buying lottery tickets would make me lose hope because I would most likely lose every time I bought one. I do not think my parents have bought lottery tickets. At least I do not think they have bought them while I have been alive. Even though powerball is offering a lot of money and is a huge contest I would still not buy lottery tickets. 
If I were to win the lottery I would buy myself a private plane. I would do this because I have to travel a lot. The reason I have to travel so much is because I have to visit my dad and brother who live in Utah. In that case it would be awesome to have my own plane, that way I could visit them more and easier. I would probably also go on a awesome vacation where ever I wanted to go with my whole family(extended family). I would go with my family because they are all my best friends and I love them all so much.  I would also make a lemonade business with my best friend. With the rest of the money I would save it. You never know when money would come in handy. There are so many crazy things that could happen and then I would have money to pay for college. 
If I were 3rd place in the lottery I would probably do the same things as if I got first place, except I would make the vacation I was going on shorter.
