I woke up in my hotel room at Disney World, The Art of Animation Resort, eyes weak fighting myself to keep them open. I looked at the screen of my phone, the bright screen stung my eyes as if they had just been set ablaze. My parents had gone to the lobby to get breakfast and my sister was silently watching t.v. We had only three days left of the trip and I felt ecstatic because it was our first day going into the park. The thought of going to Disney World made me feel as though life was perfect and nothing would change that. I leaped out of bed into the shower, I wanted to get ready so we could leave sooner than expected. “Start getting ready!” I called to my young, stubborn sister. She replied with a rude remark and continued watching her …show more content…
The sweet aroma of candies, cakes, pretzels, and cotton candy more found my nose. I felt dizzy from watching the roller coasters go around and around. The screaming of people as they flew down from what must have felt like the top of the world made me excited and a part of me feel nervous. Just then, I could feel my dad tugging on me as we walked to the metal detectors. Walking up to the Magic Kingdom felt like winning the lottery and never having to worry about anything again. It was the best day of my life so far and we still had a few hours left of the day. We had gone on so many rides, made the best memories, and met wonderful people. Just as we were walking to dinner I had saw an object on the ground. I had no clue what it was due to its unfamiliar rectangle shape and multi-colored patterns. I slowly made my way over to the unknown object and realized what it was, a souvenir penny book. I picked it up, examining it, looking to see if there was damage. It looked almost as though it was just lost. No scratches, cuts, or tears. I opened up the book and it was completely bare. Why would someone buy one of these and not put anything in it, I thought to myself. Just then, a little boy, who must have been seven or eight, came dashing
It was the summer of 2012 and my family was taking another trip to Six Flags Great America. Earlier that summer we went just for me to be disappointed. At the time I wasn’t 54 inches yet and couldn’t ride any of the rides that I wanted to because they were the most popular at the amusement park. But, I hit a growth spurt between trips and we planned to ride all of the big rollercoasters. The one that I was most terrified of at the time was Raging Bull, one of the tallest, fastest, and longest steel coasters in the US. As we started to wait in line for the ride I was shaking with both anticipation and fear and began to rethink my idea to ride the rollercoaster. I decided to stay in line and see what many people thought was a great coaster.
What comes to mind when you hear the word adventure!!? Well there is a place in Florida that is guaranteed to bring out your inner kid every time you visit. This place is known as universal Orlando Florida. This is a place where you can go on vacation and have fun like never before as you did when you were a kid. On my visit to Orlando I stated at a four-star resort located inside the theme park known as Cabana Bay Beach Resort, also went to universal studios and islands of adventure were I felt like I was a kid again.
The sound of music, filling the air with happiness, resonates throughout the area. The scent of delicious buttery popcorn and glazed turkey legs that go on for miles and miles. The feeling of excitement coming into the place is felt in the atmosphere. It is the image of a once in a lifetime moment. When people come in, their imaginations become reality. The name describes itself perfectly. Walt Disney World is the place of dreams and imagination. People come from all around the world to see the rides, characters, food and the entertainment of Walt Disney World. I remember when I went to Disney World this past March. It was the third time I have gone to Disney World. To see the amazement and the expectation of the
As Robbins said, the Disneyland was just like a special place for people’s imagination such as being a prince or princess, and more and more could enjoy the emerging middle-class part of the United States. The trip also made their “marvelous Disneyland dream actually come true.” The trip was recorded by Robbins with a movie camera and evoked the wonder and possibility of a middle-class
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.
My palms were sweaty, I was a nervous wreck; should I go or not? Just the thought of people dying at Six Flags gives me the chills. Falling off a ride and slowly coming to your death. Even though I was at Six Flags who would have thought that I would have to make such a tough decision about a ride.
So have you ever been to Disney World? Most of you probably have been there. I didn’t go to Disney World until November of last year with my family. I wasn’t sure what it would be like, but it was incredible. It was a lot of fun, and it was a great experience because I was with my family.
I remember it like it was yesterday, my family took our first trip to Six Flags Great America. I was around seven years old and terrified by everything around me. The roller coasters were like brobdingnagian snakes that twisted throughout the entire park. My first rollercoaster changed my life forever. I was barely the required 48”, and my dad sat me down on American Eagle. Before the ride I was sobbing, yelling, and scared out of my mind. The lift hill had to be the longest moments of my life. We climbed up the 127’ slower than I thought possible, and then it happened. The car crested over the first hill, and the expression on my face couldn't have changed more. I went from a terrified and mortified child, to a boy who was on top of the world. The feeling of falling down the hill, then climbing up another and entering a helix and the some more
This past summer, my family and I went on a cruise to the Bahamas. We had just docked at the second port, Nassau, and were preparing to exit the gigantic ship named the Carnival Fantasy. Once we got to the city, I noticed it was bustling with people of all different backgrounds and cultures. The roads were narrow and some even hilly. I remember coming to the conclusion that a lot of people in the Bahamas must have road rage what from the blaring car horns I could hear around every corner. My family and I were walking along the sidewalk, glancing into shops as we passed them. The weather was unbearably hot, but growing up in South Carolina allowed my family and I to push onward with our adventure. The sun burn on my back started to pulsate in pain any time the sunlight hit it, so we decided to stick to the side of the buildings that provided shade.
With my family’s annual trips to Walt Disney World, every time it appears the same, nothing has changed, except for yourself. Disney make us feel as if time is infinite, that we did not and will not grow up. It is the stories that you listened to as a child, coming to life. It is a place where your imagination is limitless. It is a place that is eternally optimistic for the future as it portrays a world with endless possibilities. As you enter the park you are completely cut off from the outside world; all the chaos, and stress is gone with each explosion of a firework over Cinderella’s Castle. Disney does a thousand things 1% better making magic a reality, and happiness a necessity. Everything is meticulously planned and executed. Whenever we leave Walt Disney World, my brothers and I claim to have PDD or Post Disney Depression as time catches up and the real world sets in. The Walt Disney Company has influenced my perception of the world by putting a permanent smile on my face from the beginning of the trip to the end, giving me memories that I will carry with me for the rest of my life, and inspiring me to make my dreams come
From my infant years extending into my teenage years my grandparents have taken me on trips to Walt Disney World just about every other year. In being a child my first couple of vacations were focused on all the vibrant scenery and meeting all the characters from my favorite animated movies that I grew up with. I always had aspirations to be a member of the Disney family as I continued visiting Orlando, yet as I matured I began to comprehend how I specifically wanted to fit into the company I grew to adore. It wasn’t until I was an adolescent that I fully began to appreciate all of the creativity and precision the imagineers invested into all of the attractions, their creations that people alike I have cherished.
The Main Street station, is the curtains to a large production as if the Magic Kingdom was a theater. As I wander beneath the archway, I notice that above the arch is a plaque that reads: “Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy”. As I continue to stroll through the passage on the way to Main Street, there are posters of “upcoming attractions” that line the walls on both sides. I then step into Main Street U.S.A. and begin to hear the Victorian style orchestra playing over the speakers. I notice some Disney pals in Town Square greeting guests as if they were old friends. Then I begin to travel further down the street, and the smell of the caramel apples, chocolate chip cookies, and other sweets walk out of the open doors of the bakery and into the street. At the end of this turn of the century town, sits the one hundred eightyninefoottall, Cinderella Castle. This moment is a pivotal moment in any Disney vacation, because the castle is well known to millions. I get
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...
After we got off the airplane, we rented a car and drove to my Uncle Joe?s house. We finally got there and then we all went out to eat dinner. We went to some Italian restraunt and boy was it good. To this day, I have never tasted anything as good as the Veal Picata I had that day. I ate so much that I could hardly move and once I got back to my uncle?s, I just passed out and went to bed. I had a big and exciting day ahead of me. I was going to Universal Studios and I couldn?t wait.
