Disneyland

A few of the many reasons why I love Disneyland so very much...

- that feeling I get when I finally come back and walk through the tunnels onto Main Street again
- when I take my first breath of Disneyland air. It just has this amazing, happy place smell!
- standing in the 'snow' before or after the fireworks during the Christmas Season. This one is new but easily one of my very, very favorite Disney things now
- the smell of main street (especially in front of Gibson Girl!)
- sitting in the Hungry Bear beside the Rivers of America and having lunch
- the feeling, the environment and the yummy food at the Blue Bayou
- Disneyland coffee
- it makes me feel like I don't have a care in the world. Just complete and utter happiness through and through
- riding Indiana Jones
- walking through Adventureland. This part of the park makes my inner tropical girl very happy!
- Fantasmic!
- shopping for more Disney merchandise to bring home
- taking pictures with characters
- taking pictures. Let's face it, it's my dream photoshoot location!
- the nostalgia I feel
- the muscle memory I've developed. I could navigate the park with my eyes closed, it just feels so fluid and natural now!
- watching the fireworks
- seeing something new for the first time (can't wait to see Ariel's Undersea Adventure and Cars Land!)
- walking past the light outside the Main Street Fire Station/ Walt's Apartment. It was turned on the day Walt died and has never been off since. It's a cool vibe just being near it knowing what it means
- The smell of the water on Splash Mountain or Pirates. I know it's just recycled water, but to me it's one of those smells that just screams Disney
- visiting the Blue Ribbon Bakery
- having Gumbo in New Orleans Square
- New Orleans Square at night all lit up and gorgeous
- Main Street and Sleeping Beauty castle at night
- Fantasyland at night
- Basically just Disneyland at night in general!
- seeing the sub lagoon. It was closed for my entire childhood (except my very first visit but I was so much shorter then I really don't remember seeing it at all and I never rode it) and when it finally reopened in 2007 it was the most beautiful sight! So gorgeous with all it's beautifully colored plant life (artificial but still) and those bright yellow subs against the bright blue water - heavenly!
- walking down main street, at night (especially during the christmas season with the decorations) and the lights twinkling away...it gives me shivers it's so beautiful
- Paradise Pier. Everything about it from it's beauty, the view, the music, the rides (screamin', midway mania). Everything. I adore it. One of my favorite locations in both parks.
- Hearing the screams coming from Tower of Terror as each elevator of guests drops
- listening to the instrumental version of california girls as you walk into California Adventure. If they don't keep that song once the park is done it's new transformation I'll be so sad! I'll have to bust out my iPod and listen to it on my way in myself! Not a fan of the song, but the instrumental is cute and always reminds me of this park
- Breakfast with Lilo & Stitch at the PCH Grill

I can't wait to see this in person. It's so beautiful!
