Nice! :)

Have you decided exactly what subject matter you will be speaking about in regards to WDW?

Awesome, I'm sure you'll do great! What will you be talking about?

I have no idea what I'll actually be talking about. She just announced the next speech today. The one I gave today was on sweet potato bread, so I obviously jumped at the chance to talk about something I really love! I'll let you know when I decide. Any ideas?

Break it down into 3 or 4 subject areas.

1) The 4 parks-compare/contrast
2) The resorts-Deluxe/Mod/Value
3) Dining-TS/QS/Snacks - Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner
4) WDWMagic-What it has to offer

Left tons of topics out; the above alone is way over 8 minutes.

You can always tell when someone really loves the topic they are speaking about, which always makes the speech so much better. You will do wonderful! Let us know how it goes and what you decide on as your topic.

I think that creating an outline would help you to remain within your time limit while also allowing you to keep your audience engaged. Too many topics within the speech will create the potential for confusion and improper timing. As an example, and I ask that you please exercise a little tolerance for the quality, as I am making this up while typing this post:

Enjoying a Successful Trip To Walt Disney World

1. The Planning (30 seconds intro, 45 seconds per subheading)
A. Accommodations.
B. Activities.

2. The Pursuit (30 seconds intro, 75 seconds per subheading)
A. Traveling.
B. Touring.

3. The Payoff (30 seconds intro, 75 seconds per subheading)
A. Sights.
B. Secrets.

I would make the first main point a bit shorter than the other two because it would be used as a hook for the audience, while the other two main points would be used to provide the meat of the topic. A short conclusion would have to be worked in for the final seconds (And so we see that a trip to Walt Disney World can be a complete success with a little...). Best wishes in whatever you decide to do.

Thanks! Yeah, we definitely have to turn in an outline before all of our speeches! Thanks! :)
