This week I was at DISNEY WORLD! I was there for 6 days and I went to Hollywood Studios, Epcot, Magic Kingdom, and the water park Typhoon Lagoon. I going to tell you about my trip!
Wednesday we got out of school at 2:30 and drove to the baltimore airport. I took two hours to get there. Our flight took off at 6:30 and landed at 8:15. I felt like forever but I got some of my homework done. When we arrived in the orlando airport we slept overnight in there hotel because the next day we were going to Disney!
Thursday we woke up and walked to the Disney express bus to get to our resort. We were staying at the yacht club. It took 45 minutes to get there from the airport. I was facetiming my friends and watching tv. When we arrived we checked in and gave our bags to the bellhop. They were gonna text us when our room is ready. We decided to walk to epcot because it was within walking distance. The first ride we went on was test track we tried getting there first but, we didn’t we waited 45 minutes! We went on soarin’ my favorite at epcot and living with the land. We didn’t understand why we didn’t get a text yet it was almost 2 so, we decided to head back to see. Right when we left the park we got a text. We think that they track where you are by your wristband that lets you have fastpass+, the dining plan, and other things. We got to our room and swam for a bit. The pool was so amazing it had sand in the bottom and had a really cool slide. We went back to epcot so we could ride more rides and see the show! We went on mission space. It was so amazing but Addie didn’t like it. At 8 the show illuminations reflections of Earth was starting. It was amazing and the fireworks were so bright and colorful, I was really thankful to be there.
Friday we got to sleep in because we were going to there water park Typhoon Lagoon! It only opened at 10 but we arrived at 9. For the first time we took the minnie van. It’s a minivan but it looks like minnie mouse and is for disney transportation. When we first got there we went to the Crushin’ Gusher! It had three slides, me and my brother went down together we had got stuck a couple times because we hardly weighed enough as one person. Finally we were waiting for the last slide. She sent us down it but the water stopped right before we reached the end. Me and my brother got stuck before so we tried scooting but couldn’t get anywhere. The lifeguard had to walk down the slide and push us. Then he told us to get out and walk out an exit while he pushed the tube the rest of the way out. He asked us if we wanted to go again but we headed for a different slide. My siblings favorite slide was the single rider slides with no tubes. They were fun but not my favorite. I REALLY wanted to head to the wave pool so we did. It was amazing!!!!! Some of the waves got up to 12 feet high!!!!! We had a really fun day and I would definitely plan to go there again!
Saturday we went to Hollywood Studios. We actually met up with our friends and went on a ride or two with them. Slinky Dog Dash is there new rollercoaster at there new Toy Story Land. There are HUGE waits for it, even disneys with fastpass+! Me, Landon, Jake, and Ryan ditched the parents and ran to it. We actually ended up waiting like 5 minutes since we kept on cutting!!!! Since there is only 3 rides in Toy Story Land we did them all with no wait since the other one didn’t have a wait and the other we had a fastpass for. We left our friends and went to the star wars ride. I really enjoyed the pre-show because it’s just like your in a airport but, headed to space. Hollywood Studios isn’t a very big park so, it doesn’t have as much rides but it has a lot of shows. We had a fastpass for rockin’ rollercoaster so we headed over to that. The wait for the ride was over an hour so I was happy we had a fastpass! My seven year old sister went on it and loved it!!!!!!!!!! Next was the tower of terror! It was soooo scary and fast and I never wanted it to end. We had some extra time so we decided to watch Beauty and the Beast. It was great and they were so talented! We headed back to our resort to swim. We swam just for a little while then headed back to the park for the show fantasmic and some shopping. We only shopped for a little while since we arrived later than we thought. The show started at eight and it was magical. I’d suggest watching a video of it or actually seeing it in real life! It was so amazing I don’t even have the words to describe it. Then we got really lucky there was a boat with hardly any wait so we didn’t have to walk back.
Sunday was my favorite day by far. We went magic kingdom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! When I walked into main street and saw the castle I almost fainted. I was so beautiful and I actually got lost from just staring at it. We went on the jungle cruise first. Well they actually called it the jingle cruise because it’s christmas time! We were the first people on the boat! Then we went to pirates of the caribbean and splash mountain with NO wait!! We got soaked and we stayed that way the whole day! We had a fastpass for Big Thunder Mountain and the wait was already 75 minutes long and the park had just opened. Now that we had just covered Adventureland and Frontierland we needed to head to our next fastpass in Tomorrowland called space mountain. It’s all in the dark and has unexpected drops and turns. We didn’t really wanna do anything else in tomorrowland so off to my favorite land fantasyland! We didn’t do to many rides because the park was unusually full. We had a fastpass for the seven dwarfs mine train. It was my favorite ride there, it was fast and fun!
Monday we went back to Epcot to ride frozen ever after! We had a fastpass for it and the standby line was 70 minutes long! We went to meet Mickey and Minnie and take pictures with them. They were so nice and Minnie was so cute!After that ended we went to the world showcase. ( The world showcase is a bunch of countries and you can visit them(( We came during the food and wine festival so we got to try there different special food!)) We were in Belgium but me and Addie wanted soft pretzels so we ran the America! There pretzel bar wasn’t open so we got funnel cake. Then in morocco we got coke! We didn’t get to stay in Epcot very long because we paid extra to go to Mickey’s Very Merry Christmas Party! The party was awesome because everywhere we turned they gave us free cookies and they were delicious!! There was hardly any wait for any of the rides. We went on Winnie the Pooh my favorite. We even found the Hidden Mickey inside it. By Far my favorite ride that night was peter pan. I don’t know why it just gave me this magical feeling. ( Also it was the last ride of the night) We watched the fireworks and they were so bright and beautiful! Then for the last thing of the night it was the Christmas party parade! It was magical and some characters there aren’t normally at the parks!
I had the best time at Disney and i’m really excited to go again. Please leave a comment if you have ever been to disney and tell me about your experience!
