This is a story about my trip to Orlando in May of this year. Before I begin, I will provide you with some background regarding how I ended up going there. From an early age, I have been interested in drama. I loved going to see plays, where alternate realities would form and come to life onstage, whisking the audience into a different world. It exhilarated me, and I wanted to be a part of it. However, I was not able to get involved in the theater arts until fifth grade, because my too-small-to-even-have-a-hospital community did not offer an acting program.

We stayed at Disney for a long time, and went back to the hotel at around midnight.
The next day, Friday, we all went to Disney again. This time, we went to all of my favorite places; Epcot, the Haunted Mansion, Space Mountain, and the Rockin’ Roller Coaster. I had so much fun, especially at Epcot, where I tried food from almost every country. I also rode Spaceship Earth, which is one of my favorite Disney rides. The whole day was so much fun, and we got to skip a lot of the lines because one of the chaperones (the choreographer’s fiance) had a hurt foot and had to be in a wheelchair. His foot did not inhibit him too much though, because he still rode every single ride with
