Hey everyone! I'm going to Disney in 5 days, and just yesterday I decided to make up a story about Walt Disney World. I'm going to post it here, and I'd like some people's opinions on what the conflict of the story should be. I've ended it at the beginning of chapter 8 so you can all decide. Also don't worry about spelling or gramical errors that it may contain, I'll edit those before I do the final draft. I thought maybe a conflict involving the Disney villains might be cool...
I've put **** for privacy of names.
Where Magic Lives
By William *************
Chapter 1
They say there is a place where magic lives, where the young and young at heart can both laugh with utter merriment to rejoice and call home. A place where children and their parents can actually have fun together, just being a family. This is a place where memories are made, happiness is created, and dreams come true. Walt Disney World is this place that I am speaking of. Some think it is just another vacation getaway, but not many know of the secret that lies in this magical world where an amazing journey once took place. It was five un-suspecting friends that found the mysterious secret and the true meaning of the Disney magic that exists in all of us. This is our story.
Saturday the twelfth of April came faster than any of us could imagine. As misty as the night air was at 1 o’clock in the morning, it was a very nice setting to the wonderful sunshine we would be expecting later. Chilly outside, but not like it was down in Florida. I had decided I would awake at this time, being that I wanted to get an early start, take a shower, the like. I told my cousin Tim the night before that I’d be calling him, which I of course, planned on doing. Picking up the phone yawning, I dialed his number.
“Hello?” said Tim with a yawn.
“Hey Tim, are you up? Have you packed?” said I.
“Hmm? Oh yeah, ha of course. What time is it?” said Tim.
“Umm...let’s see it’s 1 in the morning, I’m going to be getting ready as soon as my dad’s out of the shower. Are you going to be getting ready soon? We’re going to be picking you up at or around three, alright? Don’t forget! We won’t want to be leaving you behind” I said with great excitement.
“Yeah, um...what time will you be picking me up again? Ha, just kidding, a little morning joke!”
“Tim that wasn’t funny,” I said while secretly laughing inside, “Just be ready, alright?”
“Alright, see you in a couple of hours!” Tim said.
We said goodbye and I hung up the phone. Sometimes Tim can be a real joker, can’t he? I was walking down the stairs with great enthusiasm, getting ready as fast as possible. The heat from the water in the shower reminded me of the sunshine pelting down on me. Getting last minute things ready for a trip is quite a hassle, but I’ve found that to “whistle while you work” is just the trick! I had finished packing my belongings, all I had to do now was wait for my parents to get done tending to their business.
“Mom, come on! It’s almost two in the morning, we’re going to be late, Tim will be waiting for us!” I said angrily.
“Oh keep quiet, I’m hurrying as fast as I can, we won’t be late” replied my mom.
“Ugh just please hurry...” I said with great desperation.
Thankfully my mom was correct, and after packing the last bit of luggage into the car, we were off. I was relieved to finally be on the road. Sick of reality, it was all I really wanted to do. Being away on a vacation was just what we all needed right now. We arrived at Tim’s at approximately 2:55am (ha, yes I was keeping close track). He said his goodbyes to his mother and brother, packed his things in our trunk (or what was left of our trunk being that it was full to capacity) and we could finally make way to “the world”.
Chapter 2
We were not the only ones going to Florida, but our friends the ***** family as well. We enjoyed going with them every year to Disney. After all, it’s much more enjoyable. Leaving their home around five that same morning, the ***** family was just as alert as we were.
“David! Wakey wakey eggs and bakey! C’mon, time to get ready”, Linda, David’s mother screamed, “I’m sure you don’t want to miss our flight!”
David, Adam’s younger brother was known to sleep in quite often, after all what sort of teenager wouldn’t want to have a nice long sleep?
“Aw mom, just five more minutes?” retorted David.
“No, you are getting up now, we’re not going to be running late,” said Linda, “After all your father is almost ready, once he’s out of the bathroom you’re next, so be ready”, Linda pronounced with great authority.
“Oh c’mon mom, just a few more minutes please? I’m so tired...” David stammered with exasperation.
“I said no, now get up or I’ll do...” started Linda.
“Do what?” said David with curiosity.
“Do this!”, and Linda started to tickle David while he laughed most uncontrollably, falling out of bed and taking his mother with him.
Sometimes it’s not so easy getting out of bed in the morning, but when you’re doing something you want to, it’s a great deal more easier. David took to his mother’s advice, and got ready most promptly.
“Alright Adam, you next...” Linda began, but found no Adam in his room. “Adam, where are you?” Linda questioned herself. “Oh where could that boy have gotten to now, David! Have you seen your brother?”
David was in the shower so he could not hear his mother’s shouting over the running water.
“David, where’s your brother?” Linda said as she walked into the bathroom. She failed to realize that David was just getting out.
“Mom, get out! Get out, get out, get out!” David rang out with surprise while Linda quickly shut the door before the hair dryer that David threw could hit her. “What do you want?!” David said with annoyance.
“Don’t talk to me like that mister! Now, where’s your brother?”, Linda said.
“Well I don’t know, maybe he’s down stairs on the computer”, said David. David was right in saying so, for Adam was chatting online with a friend.
“Adam, it’s time to go, shut down the computer and put your things in the car”, said Linda.
“Wait a second mom, I’m talking to Nick, I just had to remind him that dad’s picking him up at the airport around nine o’clock when his plane gets in”, retaliated Adam.
“Alright just hurry up, oh and don’t forget to make sure you tell him to bring extra underwear...” said Linda while giggling.
“Oh ha ha mom! You’re such a joker!” said Adam, saying it as if he thought his mother had a little bit too much caffeine from her morning coffee.
“Oh I’m just joking! Now c’mon get ready”, said Linda.
As soon as their van was packed, they took off for the airport. Along the way, David and Adam of course had their usual bickering, but both of their minds were set on different standards once they had reached the airport, just waiting to get on that plane and zoom off to sunny Orlando. This was going to be quite some vacation indeed.
Chapter 3
Crowded as the car was, Tim and I were somehow able to amuse ourselves. I brought along my Digital Video Disc player and we watched the movies that I had brought along. Tim had seen the first Harry Potter movie, but not the second. Soon after all of our movies were finished, which was about ten hours worth, including The 10th Kingdom which was about seven hours long altogether, we grew bored and began making last resorts of playing highway games.
“Alright what game do you want to play now?” I said.
“Well I don’t know, how about um...whose car is it anyway?” said Tim.
“What’s that? I don’t think I’ve ever heard of it. Is it fun?” said I curiously.
“Well what you do is look at any car on the road...” Tim began.
“And...?” I replied, waiting for him to finish his sentence.
“And...what? Oh sorry, got sidetracked by looking at that red Dodge Viper and thinking it might be suited for someone per say, Bill Gates.”
“Ah, I see where this is going. So I’m assuming that’s how you play?” I said.
“Correct”, was his answer.
We played this game for a while, staring at upcoming cars deciding who it should belong to while each one’s passengers stared back at us with irritated looks slapped on their faces. Until we finally got tired of it, this game was all we could play at. After about ten hours of restaurant stops and bathroom breaks, we began to grow anxious, not that we weren’t from the start.
“Oh why do car rides have to be so long?” I said with exhaustion, “Are we even to South Carolina yet?”
“Just a few more hours and we’ll be at the hotel,” my mom said, “Until then all we can do is keep driving and wait.”
“Oh alright”, I said.
It was very tiring, I’m telling you. Hour after hour sitting in that car, my bottom was beginning to feel as sore as a horse’s saddle. I whispered over to Tim to start a little rally with me. We decided we would repeat a “certain” saying over and over again until my mother had gotten agitated.
“Are we there yet?” I said.
“No”, replied my mom.
“Are we there yet?” said Tim.
“No”, my mother said, a little more agitation in her voice than before.
“Hey mom, are we there yet?!” I said thinking she might finally lose her cool.
“No we are NOT there yet, quit asking me!” my mom shouted.
Tim and I turned our heads to each other, having a fit of laughter.
“I don’t know what you two are laughing so hard about, but we’ll be there very soon so get ready!” my mom said in such a way only when she is in one of her moods. We knew we wouldn’t be there as soon as she said, but it was better to just keep quiet.
Time was of the essence, and it was getting to be late afternoon when we finally crossed to borders of the state of South Carolina. We drove on and on, and what seemed like an hour was more like five minutes time. Looking forward to a vacation, we thought would never have been so droning.
Chapter 4
It was but around two in the afternoon when we finally arrived at our hotel, an AmeriSuites to be precise. As tired as we were, we still managed to drag our luggage up to the fifteenth floor. Well alright, we didn’t exactly “walk”, but we certainly took the elevator as any normal person would.
“Alright you can go down to the lobby for a while, but be back before six, we need to get some sleep”, my dad said.
“Yeah alright, eight o’clock is fine,” I said sarcastically as Tim and I laughed, thankfully my dad didn’t hear me.
We decided to take a stroll down to the lobby, to explore the place a bit.
“So, excited that we’re finally going?” I asked Tim.
“Yes! I’ve been waiting so long, it’s great that we’re almost there,” he told me.
“Oh if only it were now though! I’m sure our friends the *****’s and Nick are down there by now. David’s my best friend even though I probably already told you that. I envy them”, I said.
“Nick?” said Tim with confusion.
“Yeah, remember I told you about Nick? He’s a good friend of Adam’s, he came along as well”, I replied.
“Oh, well as they always say, two heads are better than one!” said Tim.
“Tim, you cease to amaze me!” I said haughtily, as we chortled all the way down to the lobby.
We never thought we’d have so much fun in a non-Disney hotel as we decided to have a race. We ran all the way up to the top floor, the fifteenth floor, and ran all the way back down. We did this about five times until we became tired and decided to go back to our room. Being boys, we did not like the idea of sleeping in the same bed, so we took to thinking it best that one of us sleep on the air mattress. This Tim did, while I laughed at him. I thought it would be great fun to mock him for being on the floor while I was in my comfy sheets.
“Hey, shut up!” said Tim goofily.
“No! Never!” said I.
“Well if you don’t, then I’ll just have to punch you!” laughed Tim.
“Not if I have something to say about it!” I said with a smirk of madness on my face.
“Alright you asked for it, you...argh! Ouch that hurt!” Tim shouted. Turns out that he accidentally went for my arm but missed and hit his hand on the side of the bed. After his attempts at seeing to his throbbing hand, we both looked at each other and laughed.
“Get to bed you too, we have to get up early in the morning. You don’t want to be tired tomorrow do you?” my mom said with irritation in her somber voice.
“No...” we both said groggily. As soon as we knew my parents had fallen fast asleep, we went back into conversation, excitedly chatting about how much fun this trip was going to be, until we fell fast asleep under the weight of our eyes.
