Mickey's Magical Mix-Up!

The sun peeked over the horizon, bright and early, just like me! It was Disney World Day!

My backpack was bursting with snacks, my shoes were tied tight, and my heart? Oh, it was doing cartwheels of excitement!

We zoomed through the gates, and suddenly, everything was sparkly and colorful! It was like stepping into a rainbow!

First stop, Adventureland! We rode on boats with singing pirates, and I even held a squawking, talking parrot!

Next, we whizzed through Tomorrowland on a rocket ship ride so fast, my cheeks did a flapping dance in the wind!

Then, things got a little...goofy. We saw Mickey Mouse, but his ears were switched! And Donald Duck? He had polka-dotted feathers!

Minnie Mouse was beside herself. "Someone's been playing silly switcheroo magic!" she squeaked.

We decided to become Disney Detectives! We searched high and low, following clues left by tiny, giggling footprints.

Behind Cinderella's castle, we found a mischievous little pixie, his eyes twinkling like the stars on Main Street.

He giggled, "I just wanted everyone to have a silly day!" he said, waving his glittery wand.

With a sprinkle of pixie dust, everything was back to normal. Mickey’s ears were back to their perky selves!

We all cheered, even Donald Duck, who was back to his usual, grumpy (but secretly happy) self.

As fireworks lit up the sky, we knew it was the most magically mixed-up, fun day ever at Disney World!

Reflection Questions

  • How did the main character feel about going to Disney World?
  • Why was it important for the characters to solve the mystery of the switched-up things?
  • Even though the pixie caused some trouble, do you think he had good intentions? Why or why not?
