When my daughter was small, we spent our summers traveling and having tons of fun. My favorite summer was when we went to Disney World, I know many families go there frequently, but for us it was a once-in-a-lifetime trip. We got 9-day passes to the four parks, and my wonderful husband who hates travel and amusement parks was not planning on coming, He watched us plot and plan and asked, "What are you possibly going to find to do to fill NINE DAYS?!?"

We just laughed and went and had the BEST time riding rides, watching shows and parades, swimming on our "day off" (I'd bought 10 days at the nearby campground), and collecting precious memories. On our last day, I knew I had "done it right" when my daughter looked up at me and said, "OK, Mom, we've seen most everything now." It was a summer I hope to never forget for the bright memories and fun times!

I have no idea what my "most interesting" one would be. Plus what's interesting for me is different than what's interesting to you. You might find all of my girl scout trips interesting. Or when I went white water rafting. That was super fun, but I had a bad experience that same trip. I spent two summers in Chicago. I like to travel a lot.

I've been a lot of places, seen the mountains and oceans, rode a train. Working on a pea farm at 12 is interesting.

lol you can fill several weeks without repeating any rides, then you repeat stuff.... Plus pool time, seeing characters, eating ect. And they've added so much.

My parents saved and saved to take my brother and I too. I was 12, we went for five days and it was unforgettable. One of the only trips we ever got to take because of finances. But it was so much fun. I have an autograph book full of signatures from Minnie, Mickey, chip, dale, the toy story people, and more. And this was in 2000 so we saw Mickey's house, and a bunch of the rides before what they've built in the last 20 years. Part of me wants to see pixie hollow and harry potter but I really cherish the original things like Mickey and Minnie. Seeing the Fantasia show. You know? I have a picture of my brother and me with Mickey mouse next to an orange tree that's shaped like him. The tree is his head and ears, and all of the oranges are shaped the same. They use to show his cartoons on a projector too. Or a bug's life and they'd crawl behind you. I remember honey I shrunk the kids 3d live too.

This isn't my entry i just wanted to share a shared experience. I love what you did for her

I took it to be more of an opinion on what makes a story interesting. Perhaps a specific time you had fun, and describe it?
