Disneyland
I am fortunate to have visited Disneyland several times already and have just returned from a three-day trip there. I believe that Disneyland is still the “Happiest Place on Earth” where my “dreams really do come true.” I enjoyed watching this video and seeing how Disneyland has and has not changed. The atmosphere in the video is one of calmness; with everyone taking their time to make sure their visit is full of special memories. In the video the tourists are interacting with the band and having a great time. During my recent visit, I did see several bands performing around the park, but I did not see tourists dancing with them. I tried to enjoy my recent visit to the fullest, but it is hard to do when you have to stand in line for over an hour for a ride and you have people bumping into you as you are walking. I wonder if the lines for the rides were as long for the tourists in the video as they were for me. At times it is hard to believe that you are in the “Happiest Place on Earth,” but when you develop your pictures and see the smiles of those you went with, you forget the lines and the rude people.
The central layout of Disneyland has not changed but many rides are no longer there and new rides have been added. Main Street is still the central hub with bridges leading to each of five lands. Mickey’s Toontown is a new town in Disneyland, and California Adventure is a new addition to the vacation wonderland. Rides shown in the video such as The People Mover and the old Submarine Ride are no longer there. But rides such as Pirates of the Caribbean, Jungle Cruise, Space Mountain, and the Tea Cups are still there in addition to many new ones. The rides at Disneyland have been given a face-lift and are continually being updated to make them current with the new Disney movies. For example, the old Submarine Ride is now Finding Nemo Submarine Voyage featuring the characters in the Finding Nemo movie.
Disneyland will always be the “Happiest Place on Earth” for me. I enjoy myself when I visit and I can’t wait to go again this summer with my cousins from England. It will be my cousin’s first visit, so I will get to enjoy this visit in a special way. I will see Disneyland through their eyes and let them lead me around the park.
