A Few New Facts About Disneyland Vacation Which Readers Might Be Interested In
Though we were not big travelers, and still I couldn’t fathom the heat in southern California at which time of year (no 1 in their right minds needed plus size leather jackets!), when my fiancé asked me where we should go on a short, reasonably priced honeymoon, I suggested a Disneyland vacation. So what which we were grown adults. So what which neither of us cared for intense rides which make you throw up or standing in lines which seemed to threaten hours of misery. We created plans for our Disneyland vacation, foregoing the Disneyland hotel (in favor of cheaper digs, as we would only be in the room to shower and sleep), and deciding to drive (as we were only a few hundred miles away). It wasn’t as drawn out a judgment as when I decided on a career in personal training, it was more of a snap thing.
I love amusement park environments: I love the people, who have let their hair down and let go of formalities, temporarily; I love the scenes to observe and enjoy; and I love the country fair snacks which 1 typically indulges in only once or twice a year—the fudge, the hot fudge sundaes in huge waffle cones, the cotton candy…. When I got to the gates, to start my 2-day Disneyland vacation, still, I notion I would change my mind. There were hundreds of people, not so much crowded and ready to burst through the entrance in excited, frenzied television commercial joy, but still, in great suffocating numbers. But, my apprehension was assuaged when the gates did open and the people disbursed, walking with sufficient of space between us into the park, instantaneously going into the closest food or rest stop building or walking into the building where Abe Lincoln gives the Gettysburg Address. (If you have created a long drive right before beginning your Disneyland vacation and are parched, tired, and of course gullible, the wax figures become so alive for you it is startling…. A great street to start your Disneyland vacation experience, which is surreal at most times, nonetheless!)
My fresh husband loved Michael Jackson at which time. He imitated Michael, performed singing and dancing to his albums, and was extremely excited to see the “fresh” three-D movie with Michael and his troupe performing “Thriller”. I dreaded the lines, but was soon surprised and corrected: not only was the wait palatable, but the entry after the wait was manageable: those staffed at Disneyland’s theatre instructed (and, where necessary, insisted) each person entering move all the street to the far side of the theatre, sitting in the next available seat, orderly and successively…not just running to any old seat, changing your mind, switching, stumbling, bumping, and holding up the procedure. It was an organizational experience I have referred to for countless years after, remarkably when trying to figure out how to get rid of credit card debt.
The Disneyland vacation, besides including all of the foods at the park I craved, had, in those early eighties, palatable thrill-seeker rides, beautifully inventive rides, and nostalgia shops (for people like me, who had watched Annette and the other mousketeers, had faithfully watched The Great Globe of Disney each weekend, but had never had any Mickey Mouse ears or had never laid eyes on the real castle or other characters). And most impressive of all, besides the organization, were the spaciousness and the cleanliness of the park. What an utterly superb Disneyland vacation. I’m these days forty-something, but I wanna go back!!!!
