Surprise Trip

         My eyes were glued to the cars passing by as my family and I were going to this road trip. Not knowing where we were going (my sisters and I), the trip seemed to take way too long and the day of that trip was hot, so we were getting really impatient. As I kept watching the cars, my eyes suddenly spotted a highway sign that said “Anaheim” in some amount of miles. I thought my eyes were playing tricks and then thought, Nah, that can’t be possible. This trip is probably going to some hotel for my mom in order for her to be in some meeting of Pre-America. Yeah, that must be it. With this in mind, I was able to convince myself and forget what I first thought or what I first suspected. But after a few hours, my parents suddenly went to the left in the Anaheim entrance. My heart was beating fast. When I saw my sisters’ faces, I knew that they were thinking the same thing but we didn’t dare believe it.
Next thing that I saw quickly was Disney Land. My forehead was pressed on the glass window, watching as we passed by the themed park slowly. Why are we here? I thought. I was confused on what was going on in those few minutes as we arrived to some hotel. When we got inside of the hotel rooms and settled down, my parents gathered all three of us to tell us the big news or surprise.
“Tomorrow morning, we will be going to Disney Land,” my dad announced. My eyes started to water and my sisters gasped to this exciting news. In all these years, my family and I have never been to Disney Land, not once. I always dreamt of going to Disney Land when I was little, but because we didn’t have enough money, that dream seemed impossible and I thought I was never going to be in there…ever. With the announcement that my dad made, it was the best surprise we ever had and I was crying my eyes out the whole time (I was 15 years old when that happened).
The next day, we were outside waiting eagerly in line. Once we got inside, our adventure in Disney Land began. We went to several rollercoaster-like rides and went to this place where we got the chance to drive in these little cars individually, which was at first scary for me because it was my first time driving in these small cars, but I had fun. Before we got close to the castle there, a parade was starting so we went on the side and sat down to see it. It had almost all the Disney characters that I loved and for me, it was so magical as I watched them perform. Man, it was really amazing. When the parade was over, we went in more rides. I enjoyed going to the Indiana Jones Ride, The House of Horrors and the Pirates of the Caribbean Ride.
There were other shows that we saw at night that were really amazing as well that I really don’t have the words to describe them but that they were amazing and magical. It was better than I imagined when I was little and I felt like I was a little child again. When we left at midnight, I believe, we were all sad that the day was over and that the next day we were going home. Though it was just one time, it was really an amazing experience. As we went our way home, there was one thing that stayed in my mind the whole time that has made me believe it again which was this: dreams do come true.
