my trip to Disneyland with your family

The year ago, my husband and I took our two kids to Disneyland. I bought season cards, so we could go there for any times in three months.

It took us one hour on the way to Disneyland. Though everytime I and my husband were exhausted, our two kids were happy. My son and my daughter had talked to us from the starting to the end even on the way.

Some famous items would spend us a long time waiting. But it’s O.K.. Our kids played with each other and had a chat with us.

I think it is a amazing and beautiful amusemen park. We both had a happy time in it. I plan to have my trip to Disneyland this year again.
