  Disneyland Park at Los Angeles. A fantasy comes true. Disneyland Park in LA

  Been to Disneyland was a dream that finally came true last week. I’ve been in different thematic parks around the country but no other park is like this one. Disneyland has a magic atmosphere and the resort is fantastic too. I went with my family: my wife, my two kids and my mom. After 4 days of magic we finished exhausted and we almost feel we need another vacation to recover. I have a few piece of advice that can be useful when booking and enjoying the park. When booking first check if there is a special event going o the days you are staying. Normally, for a few more dollars you would enjoy a less crowded show, meaning that you would see better, there would not be rush when exiting, among other advantages. 2. When booking your entrance tickets or purchasing your packages, give to yourself a little bit of time to get informed about the park. This is important in case you want to spend more time in a specific zone than in other. It is important also to consult with your family what kind of activities they would like to experience. When arriving to the park it is important to bring water and some snacks, nothing really big of course, to give to your children while walking or doing any activity. This is important because you will spend a treasure in snacks and water/beverages if you do not bring some. Because, yes, Disneyland is expensive. It is also important to arrive early and to check in advance what time are the shows you are interested in watching. Otherwise, you will be missing a lot of important staff and precious time trying to figure out where is everything. Getting informed first is the clue to completely enjoy this park.

  Disneyland Review

  There is no other experience like Disneyland, no matter the age. The trip is planned many different ways in my mind the night before, considering the “fast” rides first before the crowds gather; or traveling the park one “land” at a time. Having grown up at Disneyland, you would think I would be “over it” at 49 years of age. My dad worked there for 27 years so I had many opportunities throughout my childhood to go to Disneyland regularly. Yet even so, each trip offers new memories, especially now that I get to take my children at ages 9 and 10.
  I get to experience watching my kids run to the next ride because they can’t wait to experience the thrill of the Matterhorn or Space Mountain, the same rides I loved as a child. One special event this last trip was watching the High School Musical parade. Disney always does everything with such excellence.
  One of the things that really sets Disney parks apart from other theme parks is their customer service that is modeled by organizations everywhere. It is through their commitment to excellence, cleanliness and safety that make a day at Disneyland worth the ticket price.
  Disneyland offers the opportunity to escape into a world that is truly magical like no other place on earth. It’s a sensation I will never outgrow.

  Worth Seeing Once

  I'm a young adult, grew up in the late 80's and early 90's watching the Disney Channel. They would constantly run the old television specials with Walt Disney talking about the building of his theme park and what was happening next. I was fascinated. After moving to California, I had forgotten all about Disneyland. A friend mentioned that we should go, and it rekindled all those old memories.
  I must say, a lot of the "magic" was lost for me as everything seemed much more shrink-wrapped and packaged and less genuine. I don't think the Disneyland of today is the Disneyland Walt had of yester-year.
  However, this is the park we have...and it is still a wonderful place to visit all your favorite Disney Characters and ride some very enjoyable rides.
  The summer wait times can be HORRIBLE...so, go during the fall or early spring...but, check it out.
