Disneyland

I spent the last weekend in LA visiting my sister. She goes to USC and showed we all around LA, she was my tour guide Barbie. But my favorite part of the whole weekend was something we do quite often.

On Friday we went to our favorite spot pretty much in the whole world. We went to Disneyland! Growing up in Bakersfield, we were just about two hours away from Disneyland and because of this we went almost every year. Eventually my family decided to invest in annual passes. There are various different types of passes, all of which have different block out dates and prices. There is the Premium(which has no block out dates and costs $499), there is Deluxe( which has 50 block out dates and costs $379), there is the Southern California Annual Pass(which is only available to Southern California residents, has 150 block out dates and cost $269) and there is the Southern California Select Pass(which is also only available to Southern California Residents, has 195 block out dates and costs $199). We have the Deluxe Pass and go as often as we can.

There is so much to say about Disneyland; after all it is the Happiest Place on Earth. I have been there dozens of times and every time I go I have a blast. I have been so many times that I can basically navigate the park with my eyes closed. I love the rides, the music, the shows, the food and the feeling that I am away from the stress of life. It is said that once inside the Disneyland Park, you cannot see the outside world. All you see is the park and the magic within. When you are at Disneyland nothing else matters. The outside world doesn’t exist. All you see is the park and the magic within. When you are at Disneyland nothing else matters. You don’t have time to worry about tests, papers, homework, jobs or anything else that may occupy your mind. All you have time to focus on it the moment. That is way I love Disneyland. It is a place where I can escape and be a kid. Kids usually do not have as many worries as typical young adults and I really miss that carefree stage. When I am in the park, I get to travel through time to when I was a child and get to experience being carefree again.

Another reason that I love Disneyland so much is my absolute love for all things Disney. I enjoy watching the classic Disney Movies and even own a few merchandise items. When I was younger, my favorite movie was the Little Mermaid. I watched it so much that I wore out the VHS. My mom would even place me in the front of the TV and play the Little Mermaid over and over again and I would be entertained for hours. I would sing-along with the songs and have my Little Mermaid toys sit next to me so that they can also watch. Disney movies made me happy and they still do today.

The food at Disneyland also makes my experience magical. There are so many different options that I could write an entire different blog just on Disney Dinning alone. However, I will just mention my favorite treat at the Disneyland Resort, their white chocolate chip cookies. I am in love with white chocolate chip cookies to begin with, but add a little magic to every bite and you have yourself an amazing treat. Every time I visit the park, I head over to Pooh’s Corner, a store next to Splash Mountain and buy myself this delicious treat. It tastes so amazing; it is like a miracle in your mouth. I have yet to find a cookie as delicious as the white chocolate chip at Disneyland.

Disneyland is the greatest place on Earth and I can’t wait till my next trip down there.
