As a child, my family was very enthusiastic about taking road trips over the summer. We travelled to several parts in Mexico and the United States in both car and airplane. Whether it was visiting family, going to theme parks, or simply enjoying the scenery, my family was never one to deny a road trip.

I thought about the other theme parks we had gone to and how fun they were, but I couldn’t even begin to imagine how amazing Disney World was going to be. The morning came, and my parents woke us up by telling us to get ready. Being under the impression that we would be walking a lot and it would be scorching hot I decided to wear jean shorts and a white T-shirt. After driving to our destination, I finally saw the huge, colorful “Disney World” sign and I could not contain my happiness. My cousin and I were the first ones in. As we were standing, waiting for the rest of my family to enter the park, I felt a drop of water land on my arm. I brushed it off and ignored it. We continued to wait and sooner rather than later, it started pouring. Everyone began to pull out rain ponchos and umbrellas as I ran to the nearest roof I could find. My shorts and shirt were completely drenched and my hair was dripping with water. Apparently it rains frequently and constantly in Orlando, Florida and someone somehow forgot to mention that to me. I disliked the weather so much because I felt like it was ruining my day at the theme
