We drove back through the arch of tangled greenery and shimmering lights. As we passed under it, a spell lifted and reality grasped my whole body. Let me tell you something, reality ain’t appealing. Especially when you have just exited a place where our everyday reality doesn’t exist We came to a halt at a stoplight right outside of the arch and my head whipped around involuntarily back to the arch as if my body was trying to wrestle its way out of the reality of the real world. I turned back around in my seat, crossed my arms, and slouched. I thought, Why did we have to leave? When were we coming back? And are we ever coming back? To say the least, I was distraught and my eyes became glazed with tiredness as I glanced out of the window wondering …show more content…
My family was in Florida for my dad’s work conference and we decided to go spend a few days at Disney World. I was four years old and actually don’t recall much of that trip. There was one experience that will always be dear to my heart. This experience was the time I first fell in love with the magic of Disney... “Come on, Mommy! Let’s go! I want to see the princesses!” I urged. I stood in our hotel room vibrating while I waited on her to make sure she had everything. I glanced in the mirror once more to adjust my shiny tiara and flatten out my sparkling pink dress. We head for the door and looked back once more to say goodbye to my dad and sister, then we’re off. We stepped outside and I was surprised to be cold. Florida mornings in November are pretty brisk by the way. Anyways, we rushed off to wait to catch a bus to the Magic Kingdom. Once we arrived, we found that we don’t have to wait in the normal line to enter Disney that takes years from you. We walked straight into the parks and saw that only a few others were there with us. I had a clear shot of the Castle, which caused my eyes to widen and my heart to suddenly want to jump out of my chest. I hadn’t fully grasped the idea of entering that castle. The castle was very pointy and towered over everything in the park. It was blue and white with gold trimmings, this made it even more appealing to the little princess inside …show more content…
The photographer snapped the photo and Cinderella put her autograph into my autograph/memory book. I gave her one last hug and then it was time for my turn to end. She waved to me and told me, “Enjoy the breakfast. Goodbye, Princess.” I waved to her and said, “Bye, Cinderella.” We escalated the spiral staircase with royal red carpeting. We reached the top and were invited into the dining room. The hostess led us to our very own table with a view of the park, including the regal carousel. We looked out on the carousel that was decorated to match the castle. The pastel-colored ponies were revolving around it. I sat looking out the window daydreaming about riding the cream-colored one. We were asked what we would like to drink and a tray of sweet, sticky pastries were brought out. I never had gotten to have dessert for breakfast. It was like the best dream! We enjoyed our main course as the other Disney princesses paid a visit to our table. Ariel, Belle, Jasmine, Snow White, and Aurora were swirling around the tables in the dining room talking to the guests. They all readily signed my autograph book and many memories were captured along with some photos taken by my
Suddenly, I was dropped into a void like area, which I couldn’t see a single thing. I thought the roller coaster stopped, but the wind around me and the rustling sounds told me we were moving. After 12 seconds, we entered direct sunlight, and I had to adjust my eyes to the brightness. I looked back, and behind me, my dad looked have awe struck, and half just plainly shocked. My sister said something, but I didn’t listen, I was too focused on the top of the rails and how long it would take.
The adventure began at the high school where we all met in the afternoon around one o’ clock to board the huge traveling buses that would take us on our journey to Disney world. The ten hour ride was ridiculously long and almost felt never ending, but we finally arrived at our hotel in Orlando at about one in the morning. I remember we all rushed into
When we arrived at the Best Western, everyone grabbed his/her suitcases, quickly tucking them into the rooms as the candy shop across the street drew us in like moths to a flame. Afterwards, we went back to our rooms, put on our bathing suits, and went for a late-night swim under the stars. It was so cold, but we did not mind it because we were having so much fun. Later we went back to our rooms and went to sleep. Our next day would surely be packed with action and adventure.
It was kind of funny listening to my family react to getting wet, especially my grandma because she hates getting wet. Plus when we went down the long slide at the end, my heart felt like it was out of my chest. It was an exhilarating ride, and I had a good time on it. My uncle would say before our trip that Disney had the best fireworks that he ever saw, so I was looking forward to them since my uncle is kind of a pyrotechnic.
My all-time favorite ride at Disney World was located at Animal Kingdom. Expedition Everest has got to be the best roller-coaster in the world. That ride gave me a buzz of energy just like if you went bungy jumping or skydiving. The wait was always at least an hour, but my clever mom always got the fast passes so we didn’t have to wait. I would get in the
I answered. So we went to go ride pirates of the caribbean when that was my favorite ride at the time and it still is one of my favorite rides of all time. I also rode other rides such as Dumbo the Flying Elephant and Soarin where it takes you on a virtual hang gliding trip across California and I loved that ride. After all those fun rides my family took a lunch break and we ate at the restaurant in the mexican section of epcot and they have really good mexican food.
We were in the airport ready to board. We soon walk onto the plane with the biggest smiles on our face, we get settled in and get ready to take off. After the two hour flight, we can feel our ears pop when we are getting off the plane. Then my parents explained, “Now we are going to go to the Hampton Inn.” As we walk outside we see the dark, starry night. We were all excited, almost as excited as a toddler getting a new toy! After the night spent at the hotel we woke up and headed for the magical express. Once we get to the Disney Resort, we put our stuff down and wanted to go to the park right
Looking around, I was trying to take in as much as I could: the countless number of people, the bright colors everywhere, and that one iconic castle. Finally, I had made it to that place all the kids would talk about. I was finally at Disneyland, and it was absolutely fantastic.
When I was about 6 years old, all my little hopes and wishes came true when I visited the land of magic, famously known as, “Disneyland,” in Anaheim, California with my family. As I entered the theme park, I was in a state of shock, completely speechless. I was looking forward to that day for so long that I did not know what I wanted to do first. All I could hear were the sounds of families laughing and screaming children and I thought to myself, “This is going to be one amazing day.” Disney Princesses and their Prince Charmings’s were spotted on every street corner, taking pictures and signing autographs for all the excited children, including myself. The iconic Disney castle was in the centre of the park. We were able to take pictures in
It was so close, only two more hours until we got to the hotel. When we got to our room, there was an oceanfront view with a balcony. We all went out to stand on the balcony, and although it was a beautiful view, all I could think about was how high up we were. I quickly went back inside, mad at myself for having a fear of heights. “Jasmine, what are you doing?”
I recorded the beautiful scenery while walking through Disney Land with my family. There is so much fun and exciting rides! Such as, the spinning teacup ride! There were thousands of people, I, even saw BTS fans! I got so excited when saw BTS fans, I'm also fan of BTS too.
I never had a good time with my family like I did at Magic Kingdom. We laughed so much and made many memories that I will not forget. One funny memory we will always have is when my brother asked my dad to buy him a pair of Mickey Mouse slippers. They are so big and are shaped as Mickey’s shoes. So my dad bought the slippers for my brother since he asked for them. Once they were purchased, my brother cut the tags off and immediately put them on his feet. The cashier and we thought it was hilarious because they looked ridiculous on him with the outfit he was wearing. I never bonded with my family like this, Disney changed us by bringing us together all happy and having us enjoy our experience we were making. Us bonding as a family was the best time of my whole day. We were happy about being around each other having fun and making many memories that I will remember for a life
When the bus got there, they had a video for us to watch on the way to disney all about the history of disney and the characters. When we got the the resort which was a part of disney and we stayed in the biu themed hotel. We didn't do much our first day there we didn't go swimming though which was pretty fun. I never realized how hot it was in florida, i mean you hear about how hot it is but it's so hot that the water hangs in the air so when you sweat it doesn't fall it sticks to you.
The second I stepped foot onto the amusement park’s property, I could feel the magic swirling all around me. As I walked through the crowds of people young and old wearing Disney apparel and Mickey Mouse ears, everything seemed so enchanting: the cheerful music, the twinkly lights on all of the buildings, and the stores that could have been from my favorite Disney movies. Walking along the streets, I took pictures of everything around me because I did not want to forget a single detail; I took pictures of the vibrant yellow, red, and pink flowers that lined the streets, the buildings with intricate details and designs, and the massive roller coasters that glided so swiftly on their tracks. The air was filled with heavenly scents of sweet churros, and I had to get one; it was delectable. Everything at Disneyland seemed perfect and like it was out of a movie. Even as I was about to leave, I got drawn back in; spectacular, bright, colorful fireworks started bursting right over my head, and I could not bring myself to go. My first visit to Disneyland was truly enchanting and magical. At the time I thought no other vacation could
When I heard my parents talking about going to Disney World I was so excited. It was a long trip down to Florida and I could not sit still, because I was so excited. We finally arrived that evening and decided to stay in a hotel near the theme park. When it was time for bed I could not go to sleep for a long time, because I was so excited about going at Disney world. When I saw the big mirror ball from the entrance, I was amazed. Disney world had a wide variety of rides. There were tons of rides that shocked me. Some of these rides made you feel like you were riding in a jet because of how fast they were. There was even a roller coaster ride in the huge mirror ball. It was a slow ride, but I still liked it because there was air conditioning inside the ball. We spent all day at the park until we had ridden everything. That night Disney World had a firework show. The fireworks seemed like they lasted forever with the amazing colors bursting in the air one right after another. When the firework show finally ended my parents told me that it was time to leave. I was...
