The Happiest Place on Earth!

This post is in honor of one of my favorite places to visit. Call me childish if you like but I am a huge fan of Disneyland!! In eight days we will be heading off to he happiest place on earth once again because, well to be totally honest, we just can't get enough! So in honor of our long awaited vacation I am going to give you a real treat and do my own little countdown of the top eight reasons I love Disneyland!

8. The happy music that is constantly playing around the park and in the hotels. It really makes me want to put on the pretty white dress Marry Poppins wears in the "It's a Jolly Holiday"scene and tap tap my toes and dance.

7. Chocolate covered strawberries and cookies! These tasty morsels bring nothing but joy to my taste buds! They are sold all over the park at little bakeries and sweet shops. Yummm!

6. The Disneyland Hotel. Now this hotel is technically way out of our price range but so far we have found some great deals and have been lucky enough to stay there. I love the friendly service you get there, the glow in the dark Tinkerbell wall paper, walking under the giant mickey mouse hat while coming and going from the park and the the old time furniture and the cute little couch in the lobby where kids can sit and watch old mickey mouse cartoons while parents are checking in
.

5. Shopping! Need I say more.

4. The bright colors and cleanliness of the park. I love that Disneyland takes great pride in the way there park looks. Everything is pleasing to the eye. The paint on the rides and displays are constantly being touched up so everything always looks like new. Also, they keep the park pretty clean. Here is a random fact... did you know that there is no gum sold inside the park. This limits the amount they have to clean up off the ground. Smart I know!

3. Of course all the amazing rides! Because I am not a creative person the amount of creativity that goes into each rides boggles my mind. Some of my favorites include: Pirates of the Caribbean, The Haunted Mansion, Peter Pan's flight and Alice in Wonderland.

2. Fantasy Land! I love fantasy land. Sitting on kids rides all day may sound lame to some but it is a tub full of fun to me! Those rides take me straight back to my childhood and the nostalgia puts a gleam in my eye and cheesy grin on my face. This land warms my childhood heart and makes me feel like I could definitely be 5 again.

1. The look on my girls face as we see their favorite Disney characters, go on the amazing rides, enjoy the feast of colors surrounding us and soak up every second we have together as a family!
