For my 19th birthday, I
decided I really wanted to celebrate it at my favorite place which is
Disneyland. I wanted to celebrate my birthday and not do something casual such
as, go out to a nice dinner on Cannery Row. I wanted to celebrate my birth! My
sisters and I decided to invite my cousins since it had been a long time since
we all went to Disneyland together. My parents did not decide to go since it
was planned the week before my birthday and they needed time to plan out for
work. I had decided long before, that I would go with or without them. This is definitely
a perk of being a college student worker.
On Saturday, our entire group celebrated my birthday.
I along with my sister Mayra, Francisco (brother-in-law), Crystal (cousin), Rudy
(Cousin’s boyfriend), Tito (sister), Koony (sister’s boyfriend) and my mom were
ready to have a great day. My mom decided to come the day before we left that
she wanted to join us. Yay! Usually when going to Disneyland, it is usually my immediate
family; this time there were more people to account for. It wasn’t just about
what 5 people wanted to do and quite frankly it is usually what my sisters and
I want to do. We know had to accommodate 8 others.
Friday had gone very well with
getting what everybody wanted. Saturday, my birthday, is when the conflict occurred.
Rudy, Crystal, Tito, and Koony all wanted to go on the Cars ride before our
trip ended. The time was approximately 5:30pm and we were in California Adventure
Park. Rudy had suggested that we go on the Cars ride in the night time because that
is usually when there is no long wait time. The wait time was currently 90
minutes. That is an hour and a half standing in line. I had thought of a plan
to accommodate us all. Mayra, FC, and I had all wanted to see the Soundsational
Parade in Disneyland. My plan was to go across to Disneyland, watch the parade,
go to our dinner reservations that were also in Disneyland, then come back to
CA to enjoy the Cars ride and watch World of Color which we had fast passes to.
Everyone had agreed that is was a good plan.
Tito all of a sudden decided to want
to go on the Cars ride then and there and wait for 90 minutes. I was confused.
We had the plan set, and then all of a sudden she decided to change it. I did
not understand why she would want to wait for an hour and a half since this was
our last day at the park. I did not want to waste any time. The parade that was
happening soon was my favorite to watch. I even watch it on YouTube when I got
to the gym! My mom decided to get involved when my sister and I continued to
bicker. I was confused to why she would want to change it all and I was sad
because I would not be able to watch the parade since I would be standing in
line. She wanted to go so badly on it, but she has an annual passport. She
could literally go on the ride whenever she wants. My mom then just said, “Let’s just go to
Disneyland for the birthday girl.”
I was instantly happy while my
sister was calling me a brat, she did not know that I had everyone in mind when
I set up the plan because everyone would have gotten what they wanted. While
entering Disneyland, we say Tito’s favorite character, Goofy, which she was
very happy with. I watched the parade and many characters told me Happy
Birthday since I was wearing my birthday pin. We all enjoyed the rest of my
birthday.
