Walt Disney World!

 

Walt Disney World 

Hi everyone!!! In today's blog I am going to talk about my 2017 visit to my favorite place on Earth, Walt Disney World!

In the summer of 2016, my best friend Toni and I decided to plan a week long trip to Disney World in Orlando, Florida. While I have been before with my family, I have not been back in years, so I wanted to go and experience the parks since I have gotten a lot older. We picked the month of January 2017 to go on our trip and it was the perfect time. The rides had almost no lines everywhere and there was not a lot of crowds at all! It was awesome! We got to meet every single Disney princess there is at the parks and also tons of other characters too. Disney World has 4 different parks that you can visit. There is Magic Kingdom (pictured in the photo above), Animal Kingdom, Epcot and Hollywood Studios. My personal favorite is Magic Kingdom. The castle is so beautiful and everywhere you walk is sooooo magical! There are a lot of rides to choose from too, there are roller coasters indoors and outdoors, fun shows to enjoy and even simple things to go on like a ferris wheel or spinning teacups. We also got to enjoy some of the yummy food Disney World offers. We started everyday off with an amazing plate of Mickey shaped waffles! My favorite thing I got was my Mickey ice cream sandwich. It was delicious! The other amazing thing about Disney World is the epic firework display that they put on every night. WOW! We were in awe every time we got to see them. Every part of the show is pure magic. We got up so early everyday and stayed out so late just to be able to do every ride we wanted to. I am so glad we were able to accomplish everything we wanted to do there! I can't wait to return to Disney World again!

INTERJECTIONS!!

While we may not always use interjections in our writings, we definitely use them when we are talking to one another!

Interjections are words that are used to express a strong feeling or sudden emotion. These can be used in several ways of expression. You can use them for a happy emotion or even a disgusted emotion. Here are some examples and the interjections are bolded/italicized:
