Where Dreams Come True
March 16, 2019 - March 19, 2019
We all grew up watching Disney whether it was the classic movies or the mid-2000’s shows like The Suite Life of Zach and Cody. We all dreamed of going to Disney World to experience fun memories, and live in the moment of our childhood dreams like visiting Cinderella’s Castle. You know that phrase, “Where Dreams Come True?” Well, here’s my experience...
I was a senior in high school, so I have been waiting four years for this trip. Every four years, my high school band takes a trip to Disney World for a small-town band like us to perform on a stage at Disney Springs. I was filled with joy and excitement since this was my first time going to Orlando, Florida, and going to Disney World with my best friends/classmates.
Traveling to the Future
We arrived at around 6 a.m. to catch our flight at Minneapolis-Saint Paul Airport and arrived at our hotel early that morning. Even though most of us were exhausted, we had the rest of the day to have a lifetime of adventure at our first park, Epcot. Epcot allowed its guests to time travel to the future; it was the best considering it had many rides that permitted us to open our minds and spark our imagination.
Action-Packed Fun
On our second day, we traveled to Universal Studios where there were many fun, thrilling attractions like the Wizarding World. We went to attractions like Revenge of the Mummy, Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, and Transformers 3D. I would consider Universal Studios to be my favorite theme park at Disney World since I enjoy the thrilling attraction rides it had to offer.
Happily Ever After!
We traveled to Magic Kingdom on our third day. My friends and I got to visit and take pictures of the iconic Cinderella Castle which was bigger than I expected. After a few pictures, we went on several rides like the famous Splash Mountain! I recall our first ride was Space Mountain which allowed us to blast off into space! My friends and I were frustrated since it was an hour-long wait to ride. As the afternoon approached, we observed the Disney parade at the castle which consisted of Disney characters like Goofy from Mickey Mouse and Princess Tiana from The Princess and the Frog. Our night concluded with the Enchanting Firework show at Cinderella’s Castle. It was a “Happily Ever After” moment.
Mondovi takes on Disney Springs!
It was our last day at Disney and we got to perform several of the band's favorite music pieces on stage. Disney Springs was a calming experience since it allowed us to walk around and visit many Disney merchandise stores and chef-inspired restaurants.
This trip was a rollercoaster of emotions. See what I did there. Even with the long waits, it was worth it. Overall, this is an experience of a lifetime that I will never forget; my dreams did come true.
