Favorite Theme Park Memory
by Frank L. Cole
by Frank L. Cole
My favorite memory would have to be the time Heidi (my wife) and I just decided out of the blue to take a weeklong trip to Disney World when we were still newlyweds. That was over 16 years ago, but I still consider it one of my favorite vacations of all time. We were young and excited and this was a big trip to plan when we rarely did anything crazy. I had expected the park to be swarmed with guests, because it was early May, but the place was all but empty. I’ve never seen The Magic Kingdom so barren of people. It felt as though they had opened everything just for us. We walked onto every ride without waiting more than a couple of minutes at the most. They even allowed us to stay on and ride again if we wanted because there was no one in line. We spent a lot of money on food and treats and souvenirs. Money well spent! We had enough time to slowly wander Main Street and The Living World at The Epcot Center and learn about things we never would have had the place been packed. It truly was magical seeing the characters walking around and having time to take pictures with them. I’ve since been back to Disney Parks seven or eight times over the years and they have always been beyond packed. It’s still amazing and I love the environment there, but we’ve constantly been rushed and I compare every experience I have to that first one when Heidi and I strolled alone through The Magic Kingdom. Nothing ever lives up to it.

That's a great Magic Kingdom memory. I can't picture the park with so few people. This sounds like a book that will appeal to many of my students. I will have to check it out.
This book sounds so unique and therefore fun to read. The imaginative idea here intrigues me and I'm excited to read it.
My kids would like this book since they like adventures.
It looks very fun and adventurous!
Sounds like an interesting cast of characters. I like the title. Looking forward to reading it.
This does sound like a very different sort of adventure book! It should appeal to my middle graders.
This sounds like a lovely bit of adventure :)
