The Magic of Disney

There is something magical about walking under the first arch in Disneyland. When I walk through I can't help but look up and read "Here you leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow and fantasy". Seriously, I look at it every single time I walk into the park. It is something about Disneyland that makes me feel at home. I remember when I first moved to Los Angeles I was very home sick and missed my family a lot. My friend was in Disneyland with her family and as soon as I got off of work I drove to the park and purchased my first season pass. As soon as I got onto the tram I felt a sudden sense of relief. I felt comforted and at home. I have so many amazing memories with my family at the Disneyland park. Now I have amazing memories with most of my friends there as well.

Now that you get the gist of why I am so connected to Disneyland... What do I enjoy doing at Disneyland you ask? Well just about anything and everything. I love going to the park with my family and going for 3 straight days doing every ride possible. At the same time I love heading to Anaheim to just grab dinner in New Orleans while watching glimpses of the fireworks. I love going to Disneyland to grab a caramel apple and people watch with my friends on main street. I love going to the park during summer and watching the fireworks and feeling the sense of hope. Seems silly, but the fireworks always remind me that we always have to remember our dreams and keep striving to reach them. Among all the amazing things there are to do at Disneyland, the most rewarding thing I have done is share the magic with my little cousin, and two nephews whom have become almost as obsessed as I have. I could ramble on and on about my favorite rides, snacks, treats, and hidden mickeys for hours (just ask my friends and family). If your interested I have listed some fun things I enjoy at the parks bellow. 

Food

Breakfast: My all time favorite breakfast at the parks has to be at the Carnation Cafe. What I would give for a Mickey Mouse shaped Belgium waffle right now with a side of bacon.

Mid-Afternoon Snack: I love heading to the 'Tropical Imports' and grabbing something healthy to snack on! Usually a pickle! If I am feeling like something sweet for a snack I always go straight to a churro!

Lunch: As much as I would love to skip lunch and keep on riding rides it is always great to refuel. I can't help it but I am a sucker for a great cheeseburger. That is way I go to 'Tomorrowland Terrace'. The burgers and fries here are amazing. Also if your lucky you can find a seat in time for the Jedi Training Academy!

Dinner: I love most of the restaurants for dinner in the Disneyland parks but my recent favorite is  'Royal Street Veranda'. The gumbo... is amazing. 

Treats on the way out: Best on the way out treat is Goofy Gummy Worms, or Ice Cream from Main Street! 

Ok enough of me gabbing about Disneyland. Hopefully I didn't make you too hungry...
