Jan 1st - New Year...

With the countdown numbers on the sky,everyone was shouting out with the excitement and joy.10.9.8…2.1.Happy new year! We were so impressed of the very moment that we started hugging each other , shouting and shaking with the music … what a ‘magical’ magic kingdom which brought us an unforgettable memory. The first day of the year 2009 …the deam will come true.


Yesterday was a long day . Everyone just slept in until noon when the breakfast has already been taken away. We went to the DVS to grab something to eat as brunch and headed to the animal kingdom. It was over 12 o’clock already. We watched the show ‘lion king’ which was really amazing. And then we went to ride the safari where we saw lions , elephants which were pooping, crocodiles and different kinds of birds. At the same time, our big brother, Raphael, went to get the fast-pass of the kali river rapid for us. The Kali river was really cool. A lot of us became really wet as well. After that we bought some lunch (Asian noodles, frozen banana). With the new energy gained we made our way to the expedition everest. In the process of the rolling , the rail seemed damaged, we moved forward and backward with the roller coaster , all the designs just let us feel scary and surprised all the time… It’s really reallly good.


We also met the really friendly Taiwanese guy who didn’t take our fast-past tickets away in the first time, so we could ride the roller coaster twice in a short time. After that we decided to go to the Hollywood studios kingdom. The first thing we did there was going shopping for some sweatshirt due to the cold weather and some of us just wore shorts and shirts. With warm cloths on we went to the Hollywood Tower Hotel to ride the scary elevator. We had to wait almost one hour in line but the elevator was so amazing that it was worth. We dropped 2 seconds in the deep, rosen up again and dropped again. All of us screamed, including Raphael! Then it was time for supper. We had some double cheeseburgers, french fries and chocolate or carrot cakes with drinks. And now it comes to the best part of the day! The Fantasmic show with all the Disney characters joined inside. It was unbelievable beautiful! There were water fountains, laser light, fire, dragon and fireworks. The film playing on the water including all the famous cartoon made it together. It was so impressive that.we can’t even find a word to describe our surging emotion. At the end of the day we had 1 hour shopping and hanging around the park! We met in the front of a huge Christmas tree and left.. It’s a good start on the first day of the year when we make a new wish to accomplish. We all had a great time which will make us remember it .
