Disneyland: The happiest place on earth

Friday, August 17, 2012 Posted by Digital Katsu
I took a trip to Disneyland with some friends for my birthday weekend. I hadn't been to Disneyland since I last visited the place with my ex-girlfriend. It was as I remembered it. The heat though that weekend was pretty gruesome. I forgot about the Southern California heatwaves. I'm sure that Disneyland made a lot of money selling $3 bottled beverages. I know I must have spent at least $30 on drinks alone over the course of the weekend. But I was expecting this and why would you go to Disneyland if you weren't expecting to spend a few bucks.

There were a lot of people as expected, but the lines weren't too bad. This held true especially for the more "thrilling" rides. I have to say I had a disdain for vertigo, but I really didn't go on a rollercoaster for the longest time and it wasn't as bad as I remembered.

I think it might have been a more immersive experience if we all watched a marathon of Disney movies before coming to the theme park.


A spectacular fireworks show concluded the evening. I remember seeing a water/lights show at Disneyland the last time I was here. Anything that can capture the feeling that you felt when you were kid is worth the effort to obtain it.
