The end of summer vacation is nearing and after a recent trip to Disneyland, I started counting the ways my family enjoyed the magic.
1. There is so much beauty in every corner.
Just check out this lovely view from the side of the main Cinderella castle!
I don't ever get tired of looking around for pretty places. In Walt Disney grounds, you never run out of photo ops. Ever.
2. You can easily find water fountains...and pretty one for that matter!
Who can resist feeling like a princess while hydrating?
I love all the little details along the way. Every nook and every corner is so perfectly designed to make everyone feel HAPPY and welcome.
No wonder it is called the "happiest place on earth." It IS.
3. They have talking garbage cans. Actually, we found one at the California Adventure park in Disneyland. Just amazing to see what those Disney people come up with! A talking garbage can! Kids just love it. My daughter loved it when the garbage can thought she was Hanna Montana. Pretty smart talking can...it brought the biggest smile her face!
4. This is a place where grown up men get to be fun, young and creative! See this cake decorated by my almost 41 year old husband. When he was making this artful looking piece of cake, he seems to be no older than four years old! This place is truly magical! It makes anyone drop years by the minute!
5. Disneyland is a place where everyone gets to be a kid again! Here, no one feels silly wearing hats and walking around dressed in silly outfits. Who cares...it's Disneyland! A place where FUN is born.
6. There is so much history in one single place...and a lot of memories get made EVERY day. Rain or shine. I have there on rainy days and it never stops people from having fun!
7. Everyone makes you feel welcome! Whether you are staying at one of the Disneyland resorts, or at the cheapest little hotel across the street from the park, you are always treated like a million bucks! Always! And believe me, I've stayed in almost every hotel near by...from the fanciest (years ago on my honeymoon) to the cheapest little Best Western hotel in my recent visits. And no matter where I stay, I get the same royal treatment! Gotta love that!
8. One of the best things about Disneyland is that you are always WELCOME to take pictures EVERY WHERE. In every store, shop, restaurant or hotel. They let you and even encourage that you take pictures. These are smart business people. They "get" free advertisement. They know people will blog and share these photos around the world and it will ultimately be beneficial to them. They don't have any ridiculous rules about photography dos and don'ts, like many other places I've been to lately where photography is not allowed. I've been known to take pictures at the park from 8 a.m. to midnight...just about 1500 pictures in one day. Just tell me, how much fun is that?! For me, it's heaven on earth quite literally.
