I went to Disney World three times, all of them as an adult. And I absoutely loved it. I almost think it's lost on the kids! Thanks for b ringing back a wonderful memory

    BTW, I'm guessing English is a second language for you. It shows sometime in your stories. This one flowed smoothly, one of the better stories I've read from you as you shared an all-American experience. Well done! (I hope this doesn't offend you.)

I enjoyed your obvious passion and youthful romp through the theme parks of Disney. Your essay seemed a little choppy and perhaps some of the sentences could be combined instead of short independent ones. Your imagery was good and the picture added to the story rather than detract as many do. Overall it was a good essay perhaps some edits to spruce it up.

A very nice childhood memory. I enjoyed reading about Disneyland.
I still enjoy going there as a child.
Your essay is very good, but maybe tighter editing will help.

Raul--
I like hearing about the theme parks. I went to Disney World Orlando many years ago and enjoyed it. You know what struck me? How there's a whole "underpark" beneath the surface where all the workers do their thing -- only an occasional...entrance from down there up into the park. Like dreaming was my feeling, and, in a way, reality.

I think, however, you write this a bit like kid doing a "what I did over my summer" presentation to his class in school. Needs maybe, to be more sophisticated somehow. And there are places you could cut some words. Not that it's too long, but words that are not necessary.

Thanks, enjoyed it
Best

I think this could be a fantastic piece with a bit of editing. Besides a comma here and there, I think elongating your sentences would make you sound a lot more eloquent and make your stories much better. Don't get me wrong, it's a very nice story, and I love the part about the Peter Pan ride :) I went on it with my mom one time when I was a little girl, turned around at Big Ben, and said "Teach me to fly, Wendy." :D Best of luck in your future writing endeavers and keep up the good work, my friend

Transitioning from Childhood to Adulthood can be a hard transition, but it is always great to hold onto your memories like this. Great imagery, and you deserve the recognized award. Well done!

I really enjoyed reading this, Raul. It brought back memories of when I took my kids to Disney World.

We're never too old to enjoy a little magic in our lives. In fact, I think it works better than medicine! Hugs, Lou

I found your essay about the favorite time in your life a very enjoyable reading experience. Your descriptions of the things to see done well. I wish all children could go to this fantasy world to enjoy themselves!
