Zac Efron Sails Away from Disney Image in Heartfelt ‘Charlie St. Cloud’

Learning how to move on when we lose the ones we love is one of the hardest things we have to swallow, and for some of us, it takes a much longer time to do so. In the new Burr Stevens movie Charlie St. Cloud, Charlie (played by Zac Efron), is having a hard time letting go of his brother and moving on.

When the movie opens, Charlie is a Stanford-bound high school graduate and champion sailor, who acts as the man of the house and a father figure for his 11-year-old brother Sammie (Charlie Tahan). The two have a great relationship, and Charlie promises Sam to help him with his baseball every day until he leaves for college. Everything changes however after their car is hit by a drunk driver and Sammie’s life is cut short.

Walt Disney World & Disneyland have increased their ticket prices the past several years as August begins.  Will this occur again?  No one knows for sure but if you follow the past trends it seems highly likely that an increase is coming.

Again nothing is set in stone but it if you are trying to decide whether to purchase tickets for a future trip you might want to make that decision before the prices go up.
