Audio Script: I heard you went to the Disney resorts

Tony: Hey Neil, long time no see. How are you?
Neil: Just fine Tony. How about you?
Tony: Very well. I heard you went to the Disney resorts on your vacation. So, how was it?
Neil: Great! I always have a wonderful time when I go there. Have you ever been to any of the amusement parks in that complex?
Tony: No, never, but I’m planning to go there sometime soon.
Neil: Yeah, you should do that. I’m sure your kids are gonna love it.
Tony: I know, they’ve been begging me to go there for a while now. So, the amusement parks there are huge, aren’t they?
Neil: They are! You can actually get lost inside them if you’re not careful.
Tony: Wow, sounds exciting. What do you usually do when you go there?
Neil: Well, we often get up early and have a hearty breakfast, you need a lot of energy to enjoy the rides, so you’d better avoid going there on an empty stomach. We also try to get to the parks just before they open so we can be the first ones to get inside.
Tony: Don’t you sometimes feel tired after so many rides?
Neil: You do a little, but after a short rest you feel like starting all over again!
