Has anyoone ever went to disney world or even disney
land? I’d like to ever about. 
I for one went to disney world when I was 5 years old. Not cheap.
Being a grounded resident of
California, I have attended the wonderful world of Disneyland ever since I was a
young “pup”. Going to Disneyland was, for me, the equivalent of swallowing a barrel full of chocolate
candy…
Considering the fact that my parents have been in the animation business for a steady, solid
part of their lives, I have had the privelege of indulging in the art of animation and animation studios in
general. Disney was basically a part of my father’s career, and still is to this day. Henceforth, I have engaged
in many Disney-related activities and have met several artists (and even a voice actor or two) of whom have some
connection to the industry.
Disneyland is a part of my life, as wacky and as unusual as that may seem. I
indulge in the rides; the attractions; the atmosphere; the aura of it… I always enjoy visiting the park and
revoke the art of leaving it when the clock strikes midnight. And although the ticket prices are nothiing but
over-the-top, it really is worth it when you think about it…
Of course, I should talk. My dad works for
Disney at the moment, so we get to enter the park free of charge. We also receive discounts on all food items and
merchandise. It’s pretty cool…
But yeah. I love Disney, even though it kind of…"went down the
hill" for a long while.
Are you kidding? Disneyland is the greatest theme park on
earth. I have a tradition to go there at least twice a year.
As for Disneyworld, I only been there once. I
was in fourth grade at the time. It was really fun. I hope to go there again one day.
I’ve
been to Disneyland once about five years ago. One of the funnest times I’ve ever had. Unfortunately, I wasn’t
tall enough at the time to go to the California Adventure. Stinks. But yeah, Simply
magical! 
As for Disneyworld, I have yet to be there. It’s funny, because I have a grandma that
lives in Orlando, yet I’ve never gone! Then we have no relatives in California, and
I went to Disneyland! Kinda odd…
Yes,I have,but it was back in 2002-2003 and I forget everything about it.
Like Mitch,
Disneyland is “in my blood”, especially when I was brought up in the theme park. My wife and I visit
from the SF Bay Area about 5-10 times a year.
My wife and I were engaged on the Disney Cruise (highly
recommend), married at Disneyland, and honeymooned in Walt Disney World (first time visiting Walt Disney World
together).
Mitch hit it right on the nail when he said "I indulge in the rides; the attractions; the
atmosphere; the aura of it"
The smells, the sounds, the distinct warm feeling of a "home away
from home" is an addiction that I proudly embrace.
Yes, the park did go through a "dark
period" but I can honestly say I do not think the park has ever looked as amazing as it does today. And the
future for both Disneyland and Disney’s California Adventure is very bright and I look forward to what is headed
our way.
And if you have never been during Holidays, I HIGHLY recommend it.
Cheers!
I’ve never been, but I wouldn’t mind going
to Disneyland in Paris with a few friends. The cool thing is that we’d be able to look around Paris at the same
time, so it would sort of be like 2 holidays in one.
I was just wonderin’ how
your routes are when you visit the original DL and WDW for one day. Here’s my route when I go one day to TDS

Here’s
my route when I go one day to TDL (TokyoDisneyLand)
- Run to the back of the park, but first get
FP for Buzz Lightyear’s Astro Blasters ride 2. Ride on
Pooh’s Hunny Hunt 3. Go to the castle and get lottery tickets for late showing of outdoor shows. 4. Ride on

ROBONICS95 - That’s pretty cool how you and your wife got engaged, married, and honey-mooned in/on Disney-related theme parks and attractions. Very cool!
And yet another person mistakes me for a guy. Heheh – don’t worry about it, though! I really don’t mind. 
I have actually had the privilege of attending Disneyland during the Christmas season, and on a day that was specially reserved for the employees at that. It was quite an experience, I can tell you. The “It’s a Small World” attraction never radiated a more delightful light upon its viewers, and the clam chowder was to die for…
Rey - Aha – hey, cool! And I thought that my sister and I were the only ones who liked to take “routes” throughout Disneyland…
Le Route:
1.Peter Pan ride
2.Star Tours
3.Indiana Jones or Space Mountain
It is tradition that my sister and I ride the Peter Pan ride first, as it is one of my favorite attractions in the entire park (besides Thunder Mountain, which I don’t ride anymore due to…“security” problems…). After Indiana Jones and Space Mountain, anything goes.
Should I even ask???
Dash - Let’s just say that I don’t want to risk getting killed. Not that it would happen, but I’m taking precautions nonetheless.
My sincere apologies… 
ROBONICS95 - Oh, no no no – don’t worry! I consider it a compliment sometimes. Seriously, I should have been born a boy. 
When I was researching Disney for this project, I found out all this stuff about how in Disneyland in California, there’s something about Walt Disney’s body being buried underneath a ride, and there’s all these rumours about ghost sightings and things like that…It’s all a load of rubbish, but it’s very funny. 
yeah - if anything he’d be buried under Disney World since A - That was his dream park and B - It was under construction at the time of his death and thus it would be easy to bury a body there.
But yeah - a load of rubbish!
A- Disneyland was Walt’s “Dream” park. When Walt built Walt Disney World in Florida, he was looking to build an entire city or community. Experimental Prototype Community of Tomorrow is what he called it. Walt’s vision for EPCOT was entirely different than how it came to be, some say it was because of his death and the fact that he was not able to make sure everything fell in to place. But he wanted to create a perfectly controlled living area equipped with transportation, city hall, it’s own zip code, etc. Would have been an amazing place to live.
Before construction started they wanted to make sure that they would have the “draw” so they created a “weenie” (entertainment terms for something that draws the attention of the public; like if holding a sausage in front of a hungry dog). The Magic Kingdom was their “weenie”.
Disneyland was the dream “Theme Park” Walt had envisioned. But EPCOT, a “utopia” for all to enjoy, was his dream in Florida.
B- He is buried in Glendale.
For more information, I would highly suggest reading Neal Gabler’s “The Triumph of the Imagination”, Bob Thomas’s “An American Original”.
Cheers!
Unfourtunatley, I haven’t had the privlege to go to either, but maybe out of those “Million Dreams” mine will come true… 
When i go to Disneyland, i always try to hit everything in Tommorowland and Fantasyland first in the morning til lunchtime. In the afternoon, I go for everything in Adventure Land, Frontier Land, Critter Country, and everyting else. Later on is riding stuff I would love to ride again. Finaly, in the night, it is usually parades, shows, and shoping.
Now for California Adventure, that is a different story.
That’s kinda like how we do it at Disney World. We do Magic Kingdom first, and always head straight to Pirates of the Caribbean. Then we do Tomorrowland, Fantasyland, among other places. Then once we get through it, we go back and ride the favorites again. Magic Kingdom we visit more than one day. With Epcot we so Spaceship Earth then go around Future World, then World Showcase. For MGM, We do The Great Movie Ride, then my mom and I kinda shop around while my dad and bro went on the Tower of Terror. When I was there last, Animal Kingdom had kinda just opened and we only did the Kilimanjaro Safari.
I wanna go to Disneyland SOOO BAD!!! I have friends that tell me about how much fun it is! Someday, I’ll probably take my family there. Fun fun!!!
