Every family has some sort of tradition that they do every year and my family’s tradition is vacationing to Florida to go to Disney World. I am fortunate enough to have gone to Disney many times. In fact, I have actually been more times than my mother. These are always my favorite vacations to go on and I have made many memories with my family on them. I will be really disappointed when my family stops going on these trips.
One of the most unforgettable trips that I have taken took place a couple of years ago. We did not fly down to Florida but rather drove and took the auto-train, and I’m very glad we did. The auto-train was a very interesting experience that I would like to do again. In most aspects, the train was very similar to any

There is a good chance that when/if I do have my own kids, I will not have too many specific stories to tell. Even now, the specifics are limited. However, my love for Disney and for those family trips is a feeling that I know will never go away and that is something that I hope I will be able to get across to my kids. Humans have been sharing stories with one another for centuries. It is something universal that all people can connect over and has been crucial to our evolution. When people think back to a major event in history, it is usually the personal stories that stand out the most. They are not just facts or summaries of the event, but the sentiment of real people. Take the Holocaust, for example. No one but the survivors can really know what it was like during that time, but the countless stories that have been told give us a decent idea and will stick with us forever, even after the last survivor passes away. The same is true for The Things They Carried. O’Brien said, “What stories can do, I guess, is make things present,” (O’Brien 180) and he can not be anymore correct. These stories make traumatic events real. So the people that were killed are not just statistics, but real people with families. People who crawled through the
My stepmother, my father, their grandchild, and I took a family vacation to Busch Gardens. Upon leaving time, we packed for the stay in Richmond, VA. My father got the truck ready, Karen, my stepmother, brought a pillow with a purple cup full of ice. The grandchild got together her toys and was just as happy as she could be at 6:30 A.M. in the morning. I, on the other hand, was beyond ready to jump right back into bed and sleep for another year because I could’ve probably have done it that hot day.
I went to Orlando, Florida. First we got lunch at the airport then we got ready for our plane to leave. Then we got on the plane after half an hour of sitting and waiting. Finally after a long plane ride we were in Florida. After we got our bag we went across the street to get our rental car.
I remember the first time I went to Disney World; excited and eager like a child on the first day of school. I already had my suitcase packed two weeks before we even left, and that two weeks felt more like two years. The night before we left, I couldn’t sleep. It was like I had nonstop adrenaline rushing through my body. All I could think about were the rides, princesses, and that beautiful beach I’ve seen thousands of pictures of. Finally, after hours and hours of stirring around, I fell asleep.
As an 8-year-old child, the worlds scary place. Everywhere you look there’s something terrifying. From people the size of giants, roaming the streets, with no care what so ever with their surroundings or just realizing that in a few years would come the most difficult and emotionally unstable time of my life. Sure, those things may be slightly exaggerated, but what I do know is the most horrendous experience I had in the land of joy that ultimately ruined my love Disney for many years.
I will never forget my trip to Six Flags, St. Louis. This all started when I was fourteen years of age. My step dad, who lived in St. Louis, decided to invite me to visit for the summer. I was so excited to go! When the day came he pulled up at my house he asked me if I had all my stuff ready I said, “Yes sir! Let’s go!” Then my step dad’s family and I piled into the two cars and hit the road. The whole ride there I thought about all the things I wanted to do at Hurricane Harbor and Six Flags.
My family and I traveled to Six Flags this summer for a family vacation. Six Flags is located outside of Atlanta,Georgia. While traveling to Six Flags we stopped at the Birmingham Zoo. when going down the Goliath,I panicked and started to scream.We rode another roller coaster and my fear became more magnified. We also rode the bumper cars and my brother ran into me. We didn't want to spend our summer patrolling the neighborhood on our scooters. We also went because we didn't work interfering with our family time. We wanted to go somewhere fun and exciting. While dinning at our vacation this summer we saw a chef chopping vegtables. The weekend we went to Six Flags qualified as a vacation.On our trip to Six Flags my brother interfered with
I don’t ever want to forget the day we went to Six Flags. In the morning I woke up my parents at 9:00 in the morning so we can get there early and get tickets. Next, I ask my friend if he can come and he said “Sure I’ll come”. So, when my friend was ready to go we left to Six Flags Great Adventure. In addition, when we got there we started off with the games. My friend and I were versing each other on different games. We also went into the haunted house. When we got bored we went on the roller coaster. We went on Superman, Green Lantern, and the Joker, and the most coolest part the Ferris Wheel! After that, we took a break and got back to the rides. Later, when we were tired out, we went home.
Have you ever been scared of trying something new and exciting? Well, I once was. One summe day, my family decided to take a trip to Six Flags. This amusement park is full with thrill rides. I had never been on a roller coaster before. Not the ones with twenty stories high drops and speeds of fifty miles per hour.
First, we had to go to the airport which was Kci. We had all of our luggage packed and we were ready to get to Florida so we can get on the boat. Before we even think about getting on the boat we have to take a plane to Florida. The plane ride took four hours but the time flew by with the things we did on the plane,
It was a hot sunny,afternoon ,my family and I were heading to Six Flags 5 long hours away from where we live which is Atwater California,but it felt like a 30 hour trip. When we got to the hotel that we were going to stay at for 4 days while we were visiting Six Flags my parents asked me if I would start walking with my little brother to the entrance where my big brother, sister ,grandma ,and aunt were waiting in the first lobby. I reached out to text my brother that we were heading over to the hotel but my phone wasn’t there! I started to freak out and I actually pinched myself just to see if it was a dream but it wasn’t I asked my little brother if he had seen it but he said that he hadn’t. All I was thinking about was what my parents would say about me losing my phone.
Trying to find memories is like looking for treasure. You look at the surface and see something mediocre, but you dig deep and find something cool, pretty, and meaningful. It took a while to think of a fond memory, but once I thought of some, it was hard to choose a favorite. Growing up I have had many great experiences in the form of vacations. Between going to Disney World, owning a vacation home, hanging out with my grandparents in Arizona, traveling to Canada and more. They all make amazing memories that I will forever cherish. The vacation spot we go to the most, though, is Wisconsin Dells. A few times I have been allowed to invite friends to come with. When I am allowed to bring friends, it is always a ginormous amount of fun. We goof off in the hotel room, play in the arcades, and swim in the water parks.
We went on a trip to florida for spring break of 2016 and we went to disney world when we were down there. We stayed for 7 days and we had so much fun because we went magic kingdom, animal kingdom and hollywood studios also epcot to. Today was are last day in florida and we planned nothing to do so we could sit back and relax because we are leaving tonight at 8:00 . Today we are gonna just go eat breakfast and then maybe go swimming and hang out. We have to go to a time chair place because they give some tickets for disney world.
“Are you packed yet?” These are the only words my mom say been saying to me for the last three weeks. We had been planning our trip to Disney World since Easter when my parents surprised me and my siblings with our plan tickets. That was seven months ago. There was now less than 24 hours before we would be heading to the Dubuque Airport and I was just deciding to pack. I was running through a check list in my head: shorts, tanktops, shirts, sweatshirts, jeans, shoes, hats, sunglasses, swimsuits, pajamas, underwear, and bras. Check! Now on to bath stuff: toothbrush, hairbrush, face wash, contacts, contacts solution, makeup and hair ties. Check! I hate packing because of all the dumb rules the airport has. Like the rule where you can’t have any liquids bigger than 5 oz. or whatever it is.
When my grandparents told us we were going to disney world they didn't have any special way of doing it , There was no pizza that was shaped like mickey mouse or any posters, or scavenger hunts to find clues to get to the piece of paper that said it, They kinda just told us we were going. Of course we were very excited to go because it was our first time going. When they told us, they told us a couple months ahead so we had to wait, and we counted down the days till we got to go. Before we went to disney we had to go shopping, we had to get clothes, suitcases, and many other things for our trip.
Disney is truly the happiest place on earth. Every kid wants to go,but does every kid get to go? I'm going and i can't fully wrap my head around the idea that on September 15th-I'll see Mickey Mouse and all the marvels of Disney!
