Disneyland an Essay

While talking with my 11 year old Daughter this Sunday I decided she needed a bit more homework than her school has been giving her. For the record, she did not agree. I asked her to write me a 5 paragraph paper about Disneyland and what she likes about it. It took some discussion but eventually she accepted the assignment and wrote a great paper. My wife suggested that the entire family do this project as well and I'm not gonna mess with her so here is my paper on Disneyland.

When we go to Disneyland, we drive! It's partly about the money because my family is huge and cost of flying rivals the GDP of a small nation. It's more about fun though. I love time in the car with my family, there are always laughs (usually at me) and it's a beautiful drive. Inside jokes are born on trips like this. There are only a select group of people who know about the Urine killer, Mark Bergin helping Johnny Cash with his flooded basement or what I would do if pulled over in Oregon. They are are great stories and they are our stories and we wouldn't have them if not for the drive.

Karina is excited... I think.

I love the joy I get to see on the faces of my family. At Disneyland you truly do "leave today and enter the world of yesterday, tomorrow, and fantasy.” I suppose a picture is worth a thousand words so I'll shut up and let the pictures speak for themselves.

I also love our hotel. The Disney Grand California and the Disney Vacation Club go out of their way to us feel at home. From the greeting of, "Welcome home!" to the TV in the bathroom mirror to the amazing views and the pool table in the room. It's an amazing place to stay.

 The sights and sounds are unbeatable as well. Nobody puts on a show like Disney. I love that they think of everything and make it perfect every time. When Pirates first opened Walt Disney thought it was missing something so he rode it with a cast member from the Bayou and asked him what it needed. Fireflies were the first thing he noticed missing. So what did Walt do? He had live fireflies brought in until the Imagineers could create fake ones.

There is a lot more I could mention but I think you get the drift.
