Trip to Disney world

Before Covid, my dad and I went on a trip to Florida. First, we flew from Ottawa to Florida very early one morning. When we arrived in Florida, we took the bus to Disney World. On the bus, there were seats like couches and movies that showed stuff about Disney World.

Then, we got checked into the hotel. The beautiful hotel had a bar where we could get food. I had croissants. Next, we went on rides and ate candy. We went to Animal Kingdom. I saw bats, lions, tigers, elephants, zebras and giraffes. I liked to see them all. We also went on a ride there where you could see animals besides you. Some were in cages (like the bats) and others were in a giant fenced area. I ate a giant cookie bigger than my head and a giant donut bigger than my head.

Later, I went to Hollywood Studios and Epcot. I saw a girl on stilts there! We went on more rides and ate more candy and then went on even more rides. My favourite ride was Splash Mountain. You go in a tube thing with a bunch of other people and go down a waterslide on a river. I was so excited because it was fun. Finally, we bought stuffies and we went to bed. I can’t wait to go back to Disney World!

We also used our recount skills when we created a visual recount storyboard for the novel the Wild Robot!
