I went to Disneyland as a (sort of) grown-up, and it really is the happiest place: the Disney Princesses sign autographs, everything is Mickey shaped, and the fireworks are beyond awesome!

Walt Disney.
Going to Disneyland should be a birthright. Every kid (and ex-kid!) should get to see Walt Disney's dream come true. This is the world that's possible!
So... have you been? Do you want to?
Keep kicking ass!
I live about 15 minutes from the original Disneyland in Anaheim. Haven't been to the Magic Kingdom in nearly 20 years--it's so expensive and crowded. Seems like you spend half your day waiting in lines.
ReplyDeleteWent to Disney's California Adventure about 10 years ago. It was okay--not as nice as the Magic Kingdom--but ditto for what I said about Disneyland above.
I don't see how people can afford to go to the place. But it is a great place to go aside from that.

Hi, A-Z challenge bud. I'm a follower now. Thanks for stopping by my blog today. Oh, BTW, I use to work for Mickey. :)
ReplyDeleteI watched Meet the Robinson's last week with my kids (I highly recommend it), and it ends with a Disney quote. I grew up in GA, so I've been to Disney a few times. I visited the CA one in high school. It's been a long time.
ReplyDelete@Ciara – oooh, let me guess – you were one of the Disney Princesses, right? They have the BEST hair :)
ReplyDelete@Arlee – I always wondered if the people who live near Disneyland are driven crazy by the nightly fireworks!
The queues are definitely an issue – and Disney have something called a “Fast Pass” that can cut your waiting time way down :)

And the cost? I say one free entry for every child born! :)
@KO – I LOVE Meet the Robinsons (the title doesn’t do it justice!) The whole make-a-difference-in-someone’s-life angle really gets me :) Plus the T-Rex? And the Tom Selleck? Brilliant :)
I took my kiddos to Disney a couple of years ago. It is such a magical place that it just makes you happy to be there.
ReplyDeleteDisney is my *favorite* place to go. My husband actually tells me it's "My happy place." He says he enjoys it just watching me have fun, like a six year old.
ReplyDelete@Regina - I think the only thing better than going to Disneyland as a kid, would be taking your own kids :) I hope you took heaps of photos!
ReplyDelete@Kari - Oh that is soooo cool :) Everyone needs a happy place!
