Disneyland Trip on Independence Day

By JAY (Cheng, Jie Yeh) (442)

I was sign-up a Disneyland trip of UCR Extension exercise on Independence Day, it was very exciting because this is my first time trip in America. But I lost my friend when I just bought a cap in a store, which is the reason why I went to Disneyland with myself.

Disneyland is a large place located in Los Angeles; there are many rides, cartoon houses, festooned vehicles and stores. Many kid there because it looks like children's paradise. Although just only one, I went to anywhere that I wanted to go. First, I went to play Space Mountain, it likes a roller coaster running in a dark tunnel, and many light point shots on the roof let me feel I am in space, it's very excited. Secondary, I went to Mickey’s Toontown and take the Roger Rabbit’s car, it is a spin train in the house, and it’s very funny. Third, I went to take Mark Twain Riverboat to navigating the river, it is a very large boat, I think maybe it can carry more than two hundred peoples in the same time, and I was taking many photos in this boat. Fourth, I went to take the Disneyland Railroad, it running a circle of whole Disneyland and there are four station distributions, everybody can get on and get off in any station.

About walking around a circle in Disneyland, I back to Main Street, I saw many people there to looking festooned vehicles, and I took many photos again. When I went to the Fantasyland, I was happing, because I met two Taiwanese girl whom I met in school register day, I went to say hello to them, but they seems didn’t know me and went away, OK, that’s go with myself again. Because today is Independence Day, they have a Firework at 9:25 PM so I have one and half hour free time, I went to Disneyland Monorail, It looks like an overhead railway and I didn’t know where the next station of this train is so I asked a steward, he say a lot to me, but I always unknown his mean, just heard 'If you have ticket, you can go back', OK, that’s go, because I have ticket.

When I get off the train, I was very worrying because I don’t know where I am. I lost my friends and lost my way, I asked another steward again, she say you must wait more than 30 minutes to take this train, she suggest everyone who want to take this train to give up and just walk to that direction. The sign tell me I was in Disney Downtown, where the here? How far from here to Disneyland? Firework will begin after one hour later, I must back as soon as possible, but I think take photo is very important things, so I took many photo in Disney Downtown, after ten minutes walking, I saw a familiar place 'Security Check', Oh.. God bless me, I back to Disneyland, actually, Disney Downtown just beside the Disneyland.

Many people came to Disneyland in Independence Day, so I can’t find a good position to watch the Firework, Finally, I watch Firework behind a ride (Astro Orbitor) and my sight just a half, but it still beautiful. After the end of Firework, I went home, End of my unforgettable trip, it’s a nice day in Disneyland.
