When I got lost in Disney

My cousins and I were watching a music presentation in the park Epcot and suddenly we didn't see our parents.

Alison, the oldest of our small group, decided to call our parents but, unfortunately, her cell phone was discharged, and we didn't have communication with anyone of our family so we stay there for one moment, and then we started to walk around the park.

The park was too big, that's why it was more difficult find our parents.

I was the youngest of my cousins, in that moment I was 9 and they were 12 years old, we were too scared but we had to do something.

We were walking, when my other cousin, Kevin, started to cry. We were worried because we had been walking for almost 2 hours and we didn’t find our parents.

We had never traveled to another country, and we had never learned English. Suddenly, I saw many stores, and I told them that we could enter there to ask for help.

My cousins were very shy so always I had to ask to the other people: Do you speak Spanish? But they always said no, until a man could help us because he spoke more than 5 languages, then he took us to a help center where they could contact our parents. However, we had a little problem, no one knew the cellphone of our parents. But when Kevin was crying Alison remembered a number of an aunt who lives in Canada, and she called my dad that was in Colombia and my dad called my mom.

Then, our parents punished us, but they were very happy because they found us.
