I am writing a story for a contest about a boy that meets Goofy. I put the story in blue below. Where can you meet Goofy in the Magic Kingdom?
Thanks!

Young Mark had always wanted to go to Disney World. He and his younger sister, Abby, had checked out a book from the public library that had pictures of the Magic Kingdom in it. He had that book checked out every weekend. One year for Christmas, he got that book. He tore one specific page from the character section, a picture of his favorite character in the whole wide world, Goofy. Mark loved Goofy so much. When he got to Disney World, the first thing he was going to do was buy Goofy. He was saving up his allowance. So far he had saved twenty-three dollars; he was impressed with himself.
Mark was seven when he heard the big news. Abbys and his own birthdays were only two days apart, so most of the time they had a combined party. During this years party, Mark and Abbys parents had a big announcement for the pair. Now Mark and Abby, I know you have been looking forward to this for years, Jeff, their dad, said. Immediately Marks thought went to the Goofy stuffed dog he had seen in a catalog.
In two weeks, we are going to be going to Florida! their mom, Katie, said.
The beach! five-year-old Abby said.
Well be at the beach for five days, but on two of those days, we are going to the Magic Kingdom! We will stay at the Contemporary!
GOOFY! Mark yelled. He then dashed to his room and got the picture of Cinderella Castle he had taped on his wall. He showed it to his sister, telling her, This is what it looks like! Going back inside, he grabs all the pictures of the Kingdom he had in his possession. This is the Jungle Cruise, and this is the Main Street, and this is the railroad, and this is
Okay Goofy dude, his dad said. His mom then pulled out a picture of her own.
Now this is where we are going to stay. Mark and Abby gazed upon several pictures showing a weird A-shaped building that had a train in the sky going through it. Their parents had one more trick up their sleeves. They then gave them both their autograph books.
When we visit the characters, you can have them sign in this book, Jeff explained.
Oh, oh, I am going to get Goofy to sign the first page! Mark explained. He also knew what he was going to show Goofy. During that birthday party, he also got a Goofy hat and that stuffed Goofy he had been yearning for.
Fast forward two weeks and three days. The Hills had checked in at the Contemporary, and were just going to ride the monorail around. They had decided that they were going to eat dinner at The Wave, a restaurant in their hotel, and were going to go to the Magic Kingdom the next day. Mark and Abby were both amazed at the monorail. When they saw their first look at the Magic Kingdom, both of them let out excited giggles. After their dinner, in which both had macaroni and cheese, the family went to the pool. Going to bed, all of the family, not just the kids, were excited about entering the Magic Kingdom the next day.
To make sure they woke up at the right time, they had set a Mickey Mouse wake up call the previous night. Mark and Abby were thrilled when Mickey Mouse was calling to them! They dressed and went to the fourth floor concourse, where they caught the Monorail to the Kingdom. The Hill family had just passed through the turnstiles when Mark saw Chip in the middle of Main Street. He immediately ran up to him, dragging Abby along, to get his autograph. Mom and Dad quickly followed with the camera. They then headed to Cinderella Castle. Mark asks his dad, How much longer until we see Goofy?
We are heading there right now, was his reply. The family then went in the direction of Mickeys Toontown Fair. As soon as the Hills enter this part of the park, Abby and Mark get very excited. Mark looks to his left, and low and behold, he sees Goofys roller coaster.
Can we please go on the roller coaster? Mark asks his family.
Of course we can, was his mothers reply. They get in line for the Barnstormer, and just as soon as they are at the front, Mark feels a pat on his back. He turns around, and he sees his best friend in the world. Mark is stunned.
Can I ride with you? Goofy asks him. Mark offers no response. Ill take that as a yes. Mark then sits down, and Goofy sits down right beside him. Mom snaps the pairs picture. The Goofy dude loves every single moment of this time. They ride through the entire ride, and when they are getting off, Goofy gives Mark a high-five. Mark is too much in a daze to ask for an autograph.
Later on, the family goes into the Judges Tent. Abby sees Mickey Mouse, and screams. She asks him, Did you call us this morning? Mickey nods his head. I thought so! After the family meets Mickey, they head to the
Thanks!
