3a Read this article about a theme park.
Circle the places,things,
and activities you think are interesting.
Underline the ones you think are boring.
Have you ever been to Disneyland?
Most of us have probably heard of Mickey Mouse,
Donald Duck,and many other famous Disney
characters.
Perhaps we have even seen them in movies.
But have you ever been to Disneyland?
In fact,there are now several different
Disneyland amusement parks around the world.
Disneyland is an amusement park,
but we can also call it a theme park.
It has all the normal attractions that you can
find at an amusement park,
but it also has a theme.
The theme,of course,is Disney movies and Disney
characters.
For example,you can find a roller coaster in
most amusement parks,but in Disneyland,
the roller coaster is themed with Disney
characters.
This means that you can find Disney characters
all over the roller coaster.
You can also watch Disney movies,
eat in Disney restaurants,and buy Disney gifts.
And you can see Disney characters walking around
Disneyland all the time!
Have you ever heard of a Disney Cruise?
These are huge boats that also have the Disney
theme.
You can take a ride on the boat for several days
and you can sleep and eat on board.
There are also many attractions on board,
just like any other Disneyland.
You can shop,go to Disney parties,
and eat dinner with Mickey Mouse!
The boats take different routes,
but they all end up in the same place.
That is Disney's own island.
It is just so much fun in Disneyland!
