Diagnostic Essay: A Magical Place



Have you ever been on that Vacation that seemed magical and fun, like a little kid in a toy store? Well that is what happened to me a year ago on my family vacation to Disney World. I got to do what I wanted to do, see what I wanted to see, and also bring that one special person in my life. Being only eighteen it was amazing to be able to bring alone, my boyfriend, Earl on the trip.



It was early on a Monday morning in the hotel room when my mom woke up everyone. She was trying to get us moving as fast as we could so we could get to the Magic Kingdom before it open, so we could be ready when it did. We all ran from ride to ride, hitting them all like race cars at a pit stop. The first ride we rode that day was Space Mountain. In the heat of the morning going inside for that dark and out of this world ride felt great. Working our way through the smelly crowds we finally got to Splash Mountain. Passing through that ride you see the story of Brer Rabbit, and you here banjo music, till you fall straight down in a big splash. Next, I wanted a little scare, so we headed to The Haunted Mansion. There we turn into icicles riding around the mansion and when the ghost appeared I got a cold taste in my mouth. Following those rides, we went no ride after ride after ride and by the end of the day I was so exhausted that I slept like a log, dreaming about the day to come.



Up at the crack of dawn once again, so we all could get ready to go to Hollywood Studios. I was jumping out of my skin for the day to begin, because I was finally going to get to ride Tower of Terror. I had tried several time to do, but it never seem to work out. So of course, are first ride of that day was Tower of Terror. I had a blast with the feeling that my stomach was going to need up in my head. Right after that ride, we all went straight for the Rock ‘n’ Roller coaster because it was right next door. I love the band Aerosmith, and I got to hear their music throughout the whole ride. The music was so loud that I felt I was in the front row at a concert, sitting by the speakers. Follow the roller coaster, we want to the newest ride at the park, Toy Story Mania, this was the best ride I went on all week. Using the Toy Story characters throughout the ride, I got to put on 3D glasses and play carnival games with a Buzz Lightyear looking gun. The rest of the day was just going from show to show in the dreaded heat.



The final morning, started like all the others by getting up as soon as the rooster crowed. This time though we were going to Animal Kingdom. Best part of this day was the very beginning. As soon as we go in the park most of the crowed want right, but we went left. Looking across the big lake in the middle of the park, we saw the walloping crowd stuck behind a rope. Relieved not to be caged behind the rope and walking at a brisk almost running walk, just to get to Expedition Everest first. Once we got there we ran into the line before most of the other people. On the ride we saw the Abominable Snowman and as I was sitting in the front of the roller coaster, he almost got me. After that ride we wanted to get cooled off so off we went to “Dinosaur”, which was inside. We got to go back in time to see where the dinosaur lived and what the world looked like then, but at the same time trying not to get eaten. Last but not least we went inside the Tree of Life to become a bug at It’s Tough to be a Bug show. Watching this show I got stung in the back, it smelled like some bug farted, my legs were whipped, and at the end of the show my set kept pocking me in the butt about twenty or more times. After that we left the park early so we were able to pack up all of our items to leave.



Going down to Disney World was an incredible trip. I was able to do and see place and ride I never saw before. Being in the Parks and surrounding area brought out the kid in me. I had no worries, problems or drama down there. Disney World is a magical place.
