Kyle Jones Dr. Pescatore English 110 10/8/15 My First Real Thrill I still remember my very first and only time going to Disney World. I was only 10 years old at the time however, I still remember it as though it was yesterday. How many kids can say that their childhood fantasy actually came true? I still remember the drive down to Orlando, Florida in my mom’s small van packed full of luggage like a small clown car packed full of clowns. I still remember how the weather changed progressively like rapidly moving through the cycle of the seasons as we drove further and further south. I still remember finally arriving in Orlando, Florida and realising just how small Johnson City really is. Orlando was like booming with people like I’ve never seen before. When we finally made it to Orlando, I only had one thing on my mind, “Mom, can we go to Disney World now?” When we first arrived in Orlando, we had to settle down in the house we rented for the time we were there. Upon entering the gated community I felt like a king and this community was my castle. I have never seen a gated community like this before and I had a great sense of worth and importance. When I finally saw the house I realised how beautiful Orlando really was. There were palm trees lined up and down the roads like soldiers organised in fire squads, all the houses had inground pools with the most crystal blue water I have ever seen, and most importantly I could stand outside with shorts and a t-shirt and
In an excerpt from the book called Inside the Mouse: Work and Play at Disney World, Susan Willis reviews for the reader the ways in which Disney World can be considered a private state and a seamless corporate product. Willis presents supporting evidence in the form of participant observation and in depth analysis, and through the use of those tools, synthesizes opinionated theses of what Disney World is truly about. The central thesis of the book excerpt titled Disney World: Public Use/Private State is the notion that Disney as a corporation values the success and expansion of their endeavors over the human. Initially, the essay provides an anecdote to connect the reader to the analytical style that Willis utilizes.
There have been a few times in my life that stood out to me, one of them being my first trip to Darien Lake. It was the end of the 8th grade, having not gone to DC like most, I was able to go to wonderful Darien Lake. From the beginning of the day, maybe even the night before I had set one goal for myself; to ride the tallest roller coaster there. With that in mind, let me get to the actual story.
I was in an unfamiliar country and yet I’d never felt more at home. For that single week I spent in my country, I met cousins I didn’t know I had, I learned how to cook, and I learned to value the fact that the city always has electricity. I was also able to see where my parents had inherited the strength and resilience they so carefully taught me to have. They exhibited these qualities as I was growing up, when they struggled to pay bills and learn the American way of life. We didn’t know where our next meal was coming from, but, similar to my grandparents, their laughter never ceased and the sounds of merengue never died down.
The air got thicker, as if crowding with the memories and ideals of a different world. I was transported nearly 35 years backward in time, and I saw a playful happy childhood of an adventurous little girl growing up in the 1970s in India. Thoughts of games
I feel like during this time my love for the beautiful State of Florida and all that it had to offer was slowly diminishing. After five years of not being able to experience The Keys and all that it had to offer it was finally a break in my sports schedule and It was time to head down south. I was eager to go back because I hadn’t been in so long but also a little nervous because I wondered if I was going
My First Time in Disney World Every child wants to go to the happiest place on earth, Disney World, and for my fifth birthday, I was one of the lucky children who was granted their wish. I remember my time in Disney like it was yesterday, yet it was day two of my trip that stood out the most. We rode the monorail to the Magic Kingdom. I thought the monorail must be what a rollercoaster feels like, even though we were going as slow as a snail.

That marked my first encounter with the true Miami natives, the Cubans. I made my way to the parking lot where a blue sporty Honda was waiting for me. As soon as I stepped outside, the sun stopped burning, humidity spared me a few seconds, or so I thought, the mild warm breeze disappear, my heartbeats went through the roof. All the people around simply vanished. Mildred, the woman waiting for me jumped out of the car and into my arms, I’d never let go of her.

As the night slowly slowed down, we watched a light parade, the Magic Kingdom’s fireworks and got to see the TIpp Marching Band go through Magic Kingdom.

Coming to Miami I can still remember that gloomy sky on October 21st 2001. It seemed like a normal day to me, yet that day would change my life forever. I remember my mother rushing around the house trying to gather my brother’s clothes while I just sat on the floor observing so much commotion around me. For an 8 year old, I was a very hipper child. I ran around the house, climbed trees, sat on the roof top which was 3 floors high.
Four years ago we went to Disney World just my family and me, we had so much fun that we decided we would go again in four years. We started planning the next trip almost immediately; we were all so excited to go back. It was not going to be just us this time; my aunt and uncle’s family would be coming with us this time. I remember waiting those four years, and they felt like forever. When it finally came time to start packing (three days in advance) we made sure to prepare for what we did not last time.
Last Christmas, I had the opportunity to experience the fireworks show in Disney World. The theme park’s magic and wonder fascinated me and thus compelled me to choose Gehry’s Walt Disney Concert Hall as my building of study. Both its exterior and interior uphold a quote mentioned in Professor Speck’s lecture by Abbot Suger, “Man reaches contemplation of divine through the senses.” In other words, an individual is able to understand a deeper meaning through use of the five senses. Therefore, every person that passes this building goes through a unique experience when his/her eyes first detect the building.
I remember that my family and i 's hotel rooms were connected, and we could see each other and make plans. After we got there we unpacked and got everything ready and headed to the bus stop and waited for the Magic Kingdom bus.
