Orlando, Florida.
The most magical place on earth is frequently visited by people from all corners of the globe, seeking to have the most magical experience of their lives.
They have so much fun day after day, year after year, that they don't even know what exactly brings it all together.
That is, until one day in the summer of 2000-something...

A small car was passing by one of the roads leading from Kissimmee to Orlando. It was a family of four, with parents, a mother and father, and two children—Annette, aged 14, and Roy, aged 12.
Annette and Roy were both olive complected, on account of their mother's Hispanic heritage, and they were quite fit for kids their age.
Annette and Roy's parents loved Disney World so much, that they took their children out there practically every summer for a four-week vacation of sun, fun, and family bonding (they lived over in Daytona Beach, so it was always a short, yet memorable drive to Orlando).
In order to pass the time, Annette had shown Roy a new book she was reading about the parks, one called "The Kingdom Keepers".
"Pfft, that is so innacurate..." Roy laughed, placing the Ridley Pearson book down. "No way could that sort of thing happen at dumb ol' Disney World."
"Well, ya never know, Roy..." Annette told her brother. "They do pride themselves on giving you a magical experience, and great things can happen there pretty much every day!"
"Like what?" Roy asked. "Fairy tale endings? Get REAL, sis, I'd much rather go to Six Flags, Universal Studios, or Old Town than Disney."
"YOU TAKE THAT BACK!" Annette exclaimed, shoving her brother.
"NO WAY!" Roy replied.
Pretty soon, both kids were in a cat fight, slapping each other's hands. Annette and Roy's mother and father looked back to see the children.
"Kids, please stop fighting.." their father said.
"Cause' we're HERE!" Their mother cheerfully exclaimed.
Annette and Roy immediately stopped their little cat fight to look out the left and right windows.
There, shining in the Florida evening sun, was the entrance to Walt Disney World!
Nothing, not candy, not jumping off swingsets, not pizza, not video games, not even a skipped school day for these kids could be compared to the immense majesty of THIS. VERY. THEME PARK!
But, since it was the evening, they decided to stay at one of the hotels before going out to the parks the next day.
