I lay awake all night thinking about the next day, which was my birthday. My uncle Bob was going to take us to EuroDisney. At last, it was morning and I jumped out of bed. “Hurry! We can’t keep Uncle Bob waiting!” I shouted to my Dad and we set off. We arrived at EuroDisney and looked for my uncle but there was no sign of him. “Jenny, we’ve been waiting for ages. Why don’t we go on and check out the rides ourselves?” said Dad. When we got onto the rollercoaster I saw Mickey Mouse waving at me. Then later, as we walked towards the fairytale castle, we saw Mickey waving at me again. “That’s very friendly, isn’t it, Jenny?” said my mum. “He must do that to all other kids,” I said but I was secretly pleased. Before we knew it, it was time for lunch. We made our way towards the restaurant, and believe it or not, there was Mickey again, but this time with a huge birthday cake. “I think it’s your birthday today, young lady,” he said in a very familiar voice. He took off his big mask and there was my uncle Bob standing in front of me! My parents smiled and everyone wished me a happy birthday.
