My Disney Cruise

MY DISNEY CRUISE

BOOM! My mom and Dad banged at my bedroom door one morning. I was sleeping and it really woke me up.

“We are going to go on a Disney Cruise and the ship we are going on is humongous,” my Dad added. “It is going to have a lot of fun games.” “Also, we will have our very own room to stay in”, my Mom said. I was so amazed.

After two weeks we flew out from San Francisco to Orlando, Florida for our Disney Cruise vacation.

I was very surprised when I saw how big the cruise ship was. It was the length of three Argonaut Elementary School buildings put together. The ship had about ten floors. It had elevators too at every end and every corner. They even had a movie theatre which had Disney movies, like Incredibles, playing all day long. There were Disney characters walking about on the ship all the time. There were Disney pictures, paintings, images, magnets, decoration everywhere on the ship. Everywhere we went, there were photographers taking our pictures. There were three swimming pools on the 10^th floor. There was even a huge water slide that was attached to one of the pools.

My brother and I had an autograph book for all the Disney characters to sign in. One time I saw a whole room full of Disney characters. My Dad said “Rishub, go stand for a picture.” So, I got a picture with a lot of the characters. I got the autograph of almost every Disney character.

There was a kids club where the kids could stay with some staff while the parents did other activities. The kids club had lots of fun activities to do. We made arts and crafts. We also played board games. There was a Spider-Man game and I liked it a lot. My brother who was only three years old was a bit anxious, but since there were so many fun activities going on in the kids club, he would soon forget and start having a good time. I was the champion of computer games in the kids club. Little kids would walk up to me and say, “Rishub, can you please show me how to score points in this game”? I would then say, “Sure”. I actually felt good when I got a chance to show off my skills with some of the games. But, I didn’t tell them that I had played these games many times at home, as I pretended to be the expert.

Finally, at the end of the trip, when my parents said “Time to go, Rishub”, I was very unhappy. But I knew we couldn’t be there forever. My Dad was somewhat bored and said “We are never coming here again!” I was not very happy after he said that. I knew it was a hard thing for them to book and take the time off to get there. But I ignored it. I knew we would probably return again someday.
