When we lived in brazil my dad would always tell my brother and i that when i turned 10 we would go to disney. i had this built up idea of disney in my mind as pretty much a mixture of what i always thought heaven would be like and that scene from the original willy wonka of the candy garden with the chocolate lake. anyway the trip to heaven came earlier than expected. when i turned 7 my dad decided it was time. so i bought a traveling coat and an autograph book and i was ready to go on my first trip outside brazil. the night before we left i was watching the news with my parents when the story of this plane that had crashed came on tv. it freaked me out so much that i didnt want to go anymore. when we got to the airport the next mornign i cried the whole way there and clung myself onto a pole at the gate and said there was no way in hell i was getting on the plane. my dad eventually called the pilot himself to come talk to me and he gave us a tour of the cockpit and explained to me that planes were actually pretty safe and so on.
so i got on the plane and we got to disney. disney itself was amazing although i was kinda confused by the mickeys and minnies walking around. didnt these kids know that they were being fooled? i mean there was no way that this was the real minnie and mickey they were just some dumb people who for some reason liked to pretend to be the real thing. same with jasmine and alice in wonderland. but i figured it must be like the whole santa claus thing so i just shut up and got their autographs
on the second day of the trip i was dancing in the shower when i slipped and fell. my bottom tooth went through my mouth and there was blood everywhere. my dad told the hotel to call a hospital but the closest one was 20 mins away. so they called the cops and i got to ride inside a cop car with the lights on and everything all the way to the hospital. It turned out i didnt need stiches or anything but the doctor gave me these pain killers to take every day. i had never really taken pain killers before so i didnt know you were supposed to take them with water. the next day as we were walking through the park i put the pill inside my coke can to drink it when the coke can started fizzing and all of a sudden exploaded in my hand. it was really funny and everyone was staring at me like i was a complete freak.
later that day after cleaning up the mess we made we were walking along when guess who we see?? xuxa! the brazilian superstar basically the equivalent to britney spears. she was walking with a crowd of fans behind her but eddie and i jumped in front of her and didnt let her pass until she gave us an autograph and a picture. i still have the autograph with her kiss mark on it. ( that was her signiture move.. she left her kiss marks everywhere). i still have the autograph in my drawer lol.
wait my super vacation wasnt done yet. my mom said we werent used to the american food so when we got here she would only let us have french fries. no hamburgers or hot dogs no turkey legs or churros or any of that crap. finally on our last few days she let us have a hamburger. eddie got food poisoning that night and wll lets just say we were back in the hospital with high fevers dehidrated lol.
by far it was the coolest vacation ever. oh and i swam with sharks at typhoon lagoon. =)
