Cali Day 5- March 30, 2010


Disneyland, California!

Working at Disney World and visiting it multiple times a year as a child has made me a Disney girl my whole life. I could (probably) walk through any of the Orlando parks with my eyes closed and know exactly where I am at all times. I have never, however, been to any other Disney in the world...until today that is!

Welcome to Disneyland! My first Disney experience as a tourist. (Because I was oblivious as a child.) Disneyland felt like a home away from home. It felt like I was walking through the Magic Kingdom after they had done refurbishments and a shrinkage. Although the castle was even smaller than I had imagined, and I had imagined it tiny, it was so beautiful. I now understand the foreign tourists at Disney who feel they need to video and photograph everything, because it really is all so beautiful and indescribable.

Disneyland highlights:
-Alice in Wonderland had an entire section! 2 rides & a store
-The Matterhorn...videotaped the entire ride cracking up laughing
-Biegnets at Cafe Orleans...delicious!!!
-Reinacting the Grim Grinning Ghosts scene at the Haunted Mansion from a Disney Sing-a-Long that my sisters and I used to watch everyday
-Watching the dancers in the parade, and liking our dances at Disney World better :)
-Walking through the castle
-Finding characters inside the "It's a Small World" ride
-Experiencing Disney as a tourist and not a cast member!
