Personal Narrative: My Trip To The Disney World

Improved Essays
For me, every spring break is characterized by a short trip to either Bald Head Island, or my uncle and aunt’s house in Georgia. This spring break would be different though. A day after Easter Sunday, my parents told me, my brother, and my sister that we were going down to Georgia. We were excited for the trip, as we are all trips, but we would be a lot more excited about four hours into the six hour drive to Georgia. My parents pull the car into a rural, roadside gas station, fill up the car, then proceed to surprise us with a trip to Disney World. My siblings and I could barely contain our excitement; it had been a dream of ours since we knew what Disney World was, to go and experience the fantasyland that existed in Orlando, and now …show more content…
The mere thought of being flung into the air made me nervous, but even so, I was too excited to think about it. Even without FastPass, the line for the ride was short and we were quickly herded into the “hidden” room which led us to the disused elevator shaft at the heart of the hotel where we would eventually board the ride. Once we were all seated, the distressed elevator box moved forward, while an eerie black and white movie played explaining what happened at the Hollywood Hotel many years ago. Eventually the foreboding film stopped and we were in complete darkness, suddenly a cold whoosh of air hit us and we were pressed into our seats, our rapid ascent began to slow, and as we reached the top of our parabola the wall in front of us opened and suddenly we could see the entire park, then box began to drop allowing its passengers to float above their seats for a few brief moments before slowing down and repeating the process three more times. I enjoyed the Tower of Terror so much that I rode three more times that …show more content…
The ride begins with a message from Steven Tyler and the rest of the Aerosmith crew. Your rollercoaster car is meant to resemble a tour van from the band. You slowly round a corner and then rocket straight forwards then up into an elaborate series of spins, flips and corkscrews with neon lights shining brightly against the darkness. My favorite parts of rollercoasters are definitely flips and going upside down, it is the perfect addition to any roller coaster in my opinion and the Rock’n Rollercoaster has plenty of them. Another one of my favorite parts of the ride was the fact that each of the four times I rode the coaster a different song was played which made the ride even more

    First Time in Florida Spring break is always a really great time for students. Spring break is a break from school and that can’t ever be a bad thing. Often times students go to sunny Florida and that was exactly where I was headed for the week. Not only flying for the first time but this would also be my first time in Florida. I was so excited I might have made the teachers want spring break just as bad as I did.…

    Well I had gone to Six Flags and when I had got there I was so anxious to get on every ride in Six Flags but then I had heard a person on the Goliath scream ”stop the ride” it was so funny and scary at the same time. Then I saw that almost every ride had so many twists and turns and even circles that go round and round. Last year I had gone on a roller coaster which was the Mind Bender and it wasn’t so scary. The Mind Bender had so many circles that go round and round.…

    I got soaked. We had to take our hands off the rail and we went swirling like a tornado and a spiral. At the end, there was a huge bump and we went down the smooth surface Finally, we crossed the bump, but at the very end of the ride, we went really high and touched the black rubber path at the very top of the ride. I finally thought that the ride was amazing to go on. My thoughts before were wrong.…

    Sit back, buckle up, and get ready to scream because I love roller coasters. My family and I go to Cedar Point about every month in the summer, and my dad and I go and ride everything in the park. It is just so fun! The one thing I really like about roller coasters is that there are little rides for the youth kids also. My least favorite thing is when I am not tall enough to enjoy a ride, which doesn’t really occur anymore.…

    So this meant that my brother and sister got to sit in the very front of the roller coaster car, and my dad and I were right behind them. When we got in, it seemed like no time had passed from when we got in the line, to when we were seated in the ride getting ready for a moment that I would never forget. We waited for about 30 seconds for the workers to make sure everybody was strapped in safely. When the carts then started down this tiny slope to a straight away over the water. I was a mix of scared and excited for the ride.…

    If Steve Harvey had asked me to tell him my story, I would tell him about my determination and leadership. I came from a small private school and throughout my years of sports, I fell in love with volleyball. If I had walked into tryouts without putting in any of the work I had put in, I wouldn't have made it. I worked five days a week for at least three hours whether it be private lessons at nine at night or open gyms early in the morning. While doing this I managed volunteering at a summer camp five days a weeks from seven in the morning to three in the afternoon.…

    I got out of the car, looked up and remembered again the main reason why I hate roller coasters: heights! We got closer and closer to the rides, and with each step my heart pounded faster in my chest and I was shaking all over. All of a sudden, I looked up and was standing face to face with the biggest rollercoaster in the park. My stomach felt like it dropped 50 feet below ground, and I wasn’t even on the ride yet.…
