A Night thats Worth Remembering
Im one of those people who never really go out that much, but at the end of my senior
year in high school I knew I had to go to that one field trip almost every senior goes to, Grand
Night. This year, Sylmar High was holding Grand Night at Disney Land. On the day of the trip,
it was Saturday, June 7
th
and I arrived in the front of the school at 2:45pm. Yeah it was pretty
early for me to be there already, we didnt leave until 4:50, hell even the buses werent at the
school yet, but who cares this gave me enough time to go look for a couple friends. The first
person I met at school was a good friend of mine, andwell...my crush, named Marissa. We
chatted for a bit, said what we did after graduation until her bummer boyfriend showed up. So
Im all like, Lates, and said bye. Then I met up with my friend Joey and his girl, Valerie. We
talked and found out that we were all assigned the same bus, Awesome. Finally all the busses
showed up and we all lined up to board. While waiting, more people I knew showed at the same
bus, my friends Andres, Angel and her boyfriend, Javier. Obviously the couples shared seats and
I was sitting next to Andres. At last, were finally moving, a two hour bus ride to Disney Land,
Time to take a nap.

We finally got there, and walked to the front gates. At that point everyone went their
separate ways, even Andres ditched me. Oh well it wasnt so bad because again at that point my
other friend, also named Angel showed up with Tito and his girlfriend, Alice, and Jesus with his
girlfriend whose name I cant remember. Anyone noticed a trend yet?
We all chatted about what weve been up to. Then we headed straight for our first ride,
the Matterhorn. We all got inside our seats waiting for the ride to start, lucky for me I able to sit
by myself with everyone in front. It finally started and I had no idea what was going to happen. It
took us all the way to the top and I was spiral with couple turns down the mountain. Wow that
ride freaking awesome, I almost wanted to go again, but we decided to move on and head
towards Buzz Lightyears ride, the Astro Blaster. We waited in line and it took us a good 15min.
to get the front. As we were all about to ride an attendant came and told us that the ride was
having trouble running and told everyone to leave until it was fixed. Man that was a total
bummer. As we exited, we saw the holographic Buzz Lightyear animatronic explaining what the
ride is all about, and just before I left I screamed out, DAMN YOU TIM ALLEN!! and
everyone inside laughed.
After the bummer of a ride we missed, Tito and I bought some snacks. I bought a huge
churro and he got a giant pretzel for him and Alice. Soon after we finished, the entire crew
decided that we should all go to Toon Town. But alas, once we arrived the main ride in Toon
Town was also under technical difficulties. Sonofabitch, youve got to be kidding me!!...now
what!? Jesus suggested as a joke that we should all go to the Its a Small World ride. Every in
unison said NOOOOPE!!
