There hasn't been a time in my life where Disneyland hasn't been in my life. The first time I went I was one and now I'm about to be twenty. Disneyland has always been my vacation place, my favorite getaway, and my happy place.

Yes, I know Disneyland is expensive but it really is the happiest place on earth. And here's why:

It's an escape from the real world:

Once I enter the park I'm able to leave the real world behind. And enter a new world of happiness. I'm able to forget about what I've been stressing about or leave any other worries that I have behind.

You get to act like a kid again:

No matter how old you are whether you are 5, 25, or 50 your able to act like a kid. Because no one cares if you wear funny Mickey ears or dress up. And it makes Disneyland that more special because if you were to do that anywhere else other than Disney there would be people that would look at you strange.

You see smiles everywhere:

No matter which way you turn your head you see everyone smiling and having a good time. It makes you want to smile as well.

The magic of Disneyland:

There really is magic when you are in Disneyland. Everyone is over flowed happiness. The way cast members are willing to go out of there way to make your day magical when your there.

The shows:

Whether it's a parade, the shows during the day, or the fireworks no matter what you watch in the park you leave with a huge grin on your face. Maybe even some tears too.

Of course the rides:

Disneyland is an amusement park so of course the rides are a big part of why it's the happiest place on earth. But just waiting in line for the rides is my favorite part because I'm able to talk to whoever I am with at the park about anything. It makes the time you spend with your loved ones more special as well.

Everyone has their own different reasons why Disneyland really is the happiest place on earth. But these are mine. It just brings a smile to my face thinking about Disneyland. I hope Disneyland brings as much joy to me as it does to you when you visit.
