The Wellers are in Anaheim, California*, the USA. They are going to spend four days in Disneyland*. Stuart has already been there. He travelled to California three years ago. He had a wonderful time there and now he is telling his family about it.
— There are six different lands at Disneyland. Each land has a lot of rides. My favourite was Tomorrow land. I drove in a time car and took an underwater ride. It was exciting.
— Will we see everything? - asks Melanie.
— Oh, no. We’ll choose only some things. Let’s start with Main Street.
They have bought tickets and got in the magic park. In Main Street they see how America looked one hundred years ago. There are also a lot of places for entertainment. Melanie wants to watch Steamboat Willie — the firs t sound cartoon about Mickey and Minnie. Then they are going to explore the park.
— Where are we going now? - asks Melanie.
— You like adventures (приключения). Would you like to see an alligator? Or would you like to see pirates?
— Pirates!
They have found the pirate ride in Adventureland and now they are boating in a tunnel.
— Look! The pirates are here! The pirates are sailing in a big ship. They are shouting. They are attacking the town. Flames (языки пламени) are jumping everywhere.
— Special effects? - asks Melanie.
— Yes, they are wonderful. The first day in Disneyland has finished. The Wellers are sure that the magic of the Magic Kingdom will stay with them for a long time.
