The Happiest Place On Earth! by thecatsmeow
Disneyland has been a favorite place of mine to visit since I was a child. I do not love all the crowds or the sky high prices but I do still love the whole concept of the park. This is truely a place for all kids aged 1 to 101. For Disney is still all about fantasy and imagination. Disney has more then 60 attractions now and about half that many restaurants all in 8 themed areas. While much has changed through the years many things that I loved as a child are still around for me the adult to enjoy. Teacups anyone? Of course you can save money by not buying anything inside the park but I know there are some things that are a Disneyland Park exclusive. One nice thing I noticed on this visit was the abundance of fresh fruit for sale. From mango to banana you could buy presliced or whole fruit in many areas. On the downside while most stands sold water they run out quickly on hot days and then you are stuck buying warm water. Ick! I always like to spring for the sourdough bread bowl of stew at least once while in Disneyland. Never able to finish it and the stew is made by Stouffers. My favorite rides were all open on this trip and I was able to go on all of them at least once. Some like the Thunder Mountain Railroad I went on 4 times. Ok I felt that later as I am not 18 anymore. Its a Small World is another ride that has been around forever and while it is hard to get the tune out of your head it is still a great ride. Especially for the young ones and those of us that are young at heart. But if you are coming to Anaheim yes do Disney! It really is an experience that I believe everyone should do at least once in thier lives!
