Chapter 14: Disney World
We drove through the gates, and Mom kept following the signs. I noticed fewer and fewer of the All-Star resorts, and more of the expensive ones. That's odd, I thought. We normally stay in an All-Star resort... Mom drove up to the Grand Floridian. "Oh my, God!" I exclaimed.
"What?" Christine asked.
"We're staying at the Grand Floridian!" I replied.
"What is so special about that?" Erik asked.
"This place is so expensive! I've never been here before!" I said.
"You haven't? Then how will we get around?" Raoul asked.
"They have maps, I assume," I answered.
"When we get to our rooms, we'll prepare for the Halloween party tonight," Mom said. "Sarah, your costume is in the trunk. I thought you might like to be Meg."
"No way!" I exclaimed. I couldn't believe it. "This is awesome! You got a Meg costume?"
"I did," Mom said.
"What costume will I wear?" Christine asked.
"You will just be yourself," Mom replied. "People think you all are fictional characters, so you don't need to dress up special."
"Oh," Christine said. "Wait, what are people going to think?"
"Oh, I didn't think about that," Mom said. "We can take Sarah in early, and get her dressed. Then you can come in and meet with us, like you were dressed before you came."
"That works," Christine said. Mom and I went in to check in. I went to the bathroom and got into the costume. When I came out, Christine, Raoul, and Erik were walking in.
"You look just like Meg!" Raoul exclaimed.
"You do!" Christine agreed. I laughed, and Mom took us to our rooms.
"Christine, you're in here," Mom said, handing Christine a room key.
"How does this work?" Christine asked.
"That's right, you've never used an electronic one before," Mom said. She proceeded to show Christine how to use it. We took Raoul and Erik to their rooms, and Mom and I went to ours.
"Last minute checks," I said. I did a quick check on my hair, make up, and clothes. There was a knock on my door. "It's time," I whispered.
