hi guys it's Dre
2584 every year there's a Disney trip
for the seniors at my high school that
goes on for a school week back in the
summer I wasn't sure if was going since
it was going to be a bit of a sensory
overload for me to go on a plane with my
class and sleep in the room with them
eventually we figured out that I was
just going to Florida with my mom and my
stepdad John during the trip on Monday
the senior class went right to Universal
Studios once they got off the plane and
on the other days Tuesday to Friday they
went to one of the four parts of Disney
World on each day so we thought that I
might see some of my class if we went to
to the same park that they went to on
certain days
it's been 5 years since the last time I
went to Florida and I've never been to
Disney World before so I was really
looking forward to going there since of
course I've heard about the park so many
times throughout my life we drove to
Florida this time despite flying there
last time partly because we wanted to be
there at the same time as my class and
if her flight got delayed it wouldn't
have worked
out it was by far the longest drive I've
ever been in I originally planned on
doing this video in May but I felt like
I lacked motivation due to how much I
was already telling people about my
vacation at the
time anyways let's get started with the
video at 900 p.m. on April 20th 2024 we
started our drive this means that we
drove overnight John need to get a good
amount of sleep throughout the day so we
could drive throughout the night I
thought it was cool driving through the
different states I was looking at the
map on my phone throughout a road trip
to see when we were getting into each
state I had the back seat of the car and
I tried laying down and sleeping that
night my mom and I only got about 3
hours of sleep total since we weren't
used to sleeping in the car one place we
stopped at along the way was bies in
South Carolina which is a shop that has
a unique selection of things to get we
got a breakfast wrap with brisket from
there and I got an icy from their large
selection of
ices and this is what the store looks
like that I talking
about we arrived in Savannah Georgia on
the morning of April 21st we spent the
day in that City we walked around the
city until we had a room for the hotel
that we were staying in for one day at
9:00 p.m. we went for another walk to
see what was around us one thing we saw
was the bench that four scump sat on in
the movie of that name we also went into
a store and got a shirt that says savann
Georgia on it while we were in our hotel
room we ordered a pizza and watched the
movie Moana that night
and yes we picked the Disney movie on
purpose after hearing the song in the
movie called how far I'll go it was
basically stuck in her heads for almost
the entire vacation
[Music]
in the morning on Monday the 22nd we
made our way to Florida and got to a
resort in the early afternoon we were
highly pleased with the place that we
got to stay in our place had two
bedrooms and bathrooms and we had a back
porch where we could see a golf course
from our window in the evening we looked
at the swimming pools and lazy river in
our Resort after that we went to a
restaurant that was rock and roll themed
known as rock and Bruce it had musicians
on the walls and was a screenplaying the
music videos of different songs my mom
and I both got fish tacos from
there here's an approximation of what
time we did everything on that day
[Music]
Tuesday April 23rd was our first day
going to one of the Disney parks we
started off by going to Magic Kingdom
and like I was saying it was my first
time in Disney World we came in as soon
as the park
opened here are all the rides that we
went on we had a dis Fastpass for the Q
lines and we hit it for Tron the second
to hit 700 a.m. and we still ended up
being in group 6
7 it ended up being what we thought was
the coolest ride
there we used magic wristbands that we
used to get into the Fast
Lanes in the middle of the day we took a
break and went back to a resort and came
back a couple hours later when we came
back that was when we went on Jungle
Cruise we also saw a show for the hall
presidents we stayed there for the
fireworks show that night and we really
lik seeing it
[Music]
on Wednesday April 24th we checked out
the pool and lazy river on our
Resort we looked for how to get a Flo
and we got one and went around the Lazy
River three times in it in the morning
John went golfing at the golf course
near us since he is a big fan of golf
and he met us at the place when he was
done while we were there I tried to now
alcoholic pinina colada which I enjoyed
a
lot that night when we went in our hot
tub there was a family that was in the
tub with us that had a child the same
age as me who was on the autism spectrum
like I am we all talked to each other in
the hot
tub here's a picture I took from the
resort
Thursday April 25th was another Disney
day this time we went to
Epcot my mom and I were really looking
forward to going there and it ended up
being the park I like the best for those
who don't know epot has different
sections of the park which represent the
cultures of different countries I
thought that was really cool we ended up
trying a little bit of food from various
countries throughout the
day here is every ride that we went on
in up cot we also saw with a show that
that talked about the city of Hong Kong
in
China here's everywhere we had food from
and what we got the countries who were
seeing the flags for down below are
France Italy China Mexico Canada the UK
and Jamaica in
order as I was saying before I went to
Disney at the same time as the other
seniors at my high school were on the
trip
so I saw some students from my school on
this day and same with it Magic Kingdom
I even got a picture with a friend from
school that I met up with he was walking
with two teachers that go to my school
like when we went to Magic Kingdom we
stayed at the end of the day for the
fireworks
show as we were leaving I saw two more
friends from school by the M Rail and
they were both super excited to see me
[Music]
we went to one more park for half a day
on Friday April 26th which was Hollywood
Studios we went to Star Wars world at
the start and went on both of the rides
that were part of the planet as well as
the one outside of the
planet John is a big fan of the Star
Wars movies so he loved
that but what he wasn't looking forward
to was going on the Tower of Terror and
we did that one twice he said it wasn't
as bad as he thought it would
be I was also a little nervous myself
beforehand but I did
fine this this was also the day that we
saw some Mickey Mouse characters and we
got a picture with Mickey and Minnie
Rock and roller coaster was temporarily
closed because it was being redone but I
still got a picture in front of it so in
Disney the only Park we skipped was
Animal Kingdom because we wanted to have
one day to spend our Resort which was 2
days before
that in the evening we went to another
restaurant near a resort which was
Ford's Garage and there were cars near
it
so here are all the rides that we went
on while we were at Hollywood Studios on
that
[Music]
day at 9:00 in the morning on Saturday
April 27th we start a road trip back
home we drove the whole way back without
staying anywhere overnight and we didn't
get back home until 2: in the
morning I did well on the road trip back
though I spent some of the time playing
Super Mario Bros wonder which is a game
for the Nintendo switch that I got for
Last
Christmas we stopped at a couple stores
along the way and we also made stops to
use the bathroom and get food we stopped
at bues again at one point like we did
on the way there and we saw the mascot
there and got got a picture with
him it was a much better way to end off
the vacation than my vacation in Florida
in 2019 because even though it was an
awesome vacation it unfortunately didn't
end well in conclusion I'm glad we went
back to Florida again and that I saw
what Disney was like we had a very nice
time I hope you all enjoyed watching
this video bye guys
