Looking out the window of the aeroplane as we landed in Orlando. Florida. I felt expectancy. exhilaration. and exhaustion. It was July 2003 and we were on a household holiday to Walt Disney World. The plane had departed from Philadelphia International Airport at 8 a. m. My parents slept soundly and my younger brother and sister were so aroused because like me. it was their first trip to Disney World every bit good. that they couldn’t even sit still on the plane. Soon. we would wholly be sing the bang of the Magic Kingdom. My siblings could hardly incorporate their enthusiasm as we drove in our rented Ford minivan to the hotel.
After refreshing up at the hotel. all five of us climbed into the minivan and headed to Walt Disney World. After steering through a labyrinth of on inclines and off inclines. we were eventually at the Magic Kingdom. By the clip we were really inside the subject park. it was lunch clip so we decided to eat first earlier traveling on our escapades. We were told there were some really nice eating houses outside the Magic Kingdom. a boat drive off ; but since my siblings and I were so eager to travel on the drives. my parents decided to travel with fast nutrient within the subject park.
The greatest letdown of the twenty-four hours was the losing drives. Hannah’s favourite drive is Alice in Wonderland ; she can and has ridden it 10 times in a row at Disneyland. It doesn’t exist at the Magic Kingdom. Megan’s favourite Disneyland drive was besides absent. Roger Rabbit’s Cartoon spin. After all the expectancy. to hold the two drives which mattered most to the twins losing. was rather a Lashkar-e-Taiba down. We couldn’t happen Indiana Jones or Star Tours. either. so Bill asked an employee about the losing drives. It turns out. you can see those “movie type” drives at Disney’s MGM studios. for a separate admittance monetary value. We were stunned.
Bill and I found our mounting discontent compounded by the physical uncomfortableness we felt standing in lines in 90-degree temperatures with 90 % humidness. Disneyland with its California location has dry. comfy conditions most of the twelvemonth. Disneyland is besides blessed with a fantastic sea zephyr during the hot summers. The Magic Kingdom is located inland with steamy. hot conditions twelvemonth unit of ammunition.
We felt the Magic Kingdom was a waste of clip and money. Disneyland is far superior to the Magic Kingdom. I think it was dissing to the clients to bear down more in admittance than Disneyland and offer significantly less in the signifier of amusement. I felt Disney direction was greedy. The childs did bask themselves. but we adults left the subject park feeling “ripped off” . As a general regulation we ne’er take the childs to Disneyland more than one time a twelvemonth. But so much was losing from the Magic Kingdom Experience ; we took them three months subsequently to Disneyland and had a great clip.
On the first twenty-four hours in Disney World. my pa and I went on all of the Mountain drives like Splash Mountain. Thunder Mountain. and Space Mountain. My favourite was Space Mountain because the drive is indoors. and there are no visible radiations so you can non see at all. I besides won a stuffed Canis familiaris at a game base.
