Now it's time to say goodbye

For my Final Post, I would like to try something different. Upon going back and looking at my research project on Disney from high school, I found a poem that was about Walt Disney arriving to Los Angeles in 1920’s. (Fair warning; I am no poet, nor do I think I am) The poetry style is Limerick.

There once was a man with big dreams from Kansas

So he sought his success by drawing on a canvass

He arrived with a suitcase and few bucks in his pocket

In hopes that he can somehow find a way to make it

Los Angeles is a place where you can take your chances.

I hope that some of my Disney knowledge rubbed off on you, and hopefully that you found it interesting enough to read. Now, Just like in Mickey Mouse Club, It’s time to say goodbye.

We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we're curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.                         -Walt Disney

Walt Disney's Magic kingdom: Disneyland

Upon entering Main Street in Disneyland a sign reads;

“Here you step into a world of Yesterday, Tomorrow and fantasy”

Disneyland in Anaheim California was Walt Disney’s first attempt at an amusement park. It was constructed at a (then staggering) 17 million dollars. It was contracted in exactly one year, to the day.

For some who may not know, Disneyland consists of Themed “lands” that are all uniquely different. Fantasyland, Tommorowland, Fronteeirland, Adventureland, New Orleans Square, Critter Country and toontown.

Disneyland attracts 17 million guests a year, making it one of the most popular theme parks in the world. But what separates Disneyland California from all the other Disney parks? I believe that it is the charm of it. Disneyland California is the only Disney Park that was designed and built under Walt Disney’s supervision.

In the window just above the fire hall on main street U.S.A, there is a Lamp that has been turned on ever since Walt Disney’s Death. This symbolizes Walt’s Presence, and it’s as-if he’s still there in the park, still making sure everything is going smoothly.

"You can design and create, and build the most wonderful place in the world. But it takes people to make the dream a reality."                                         -Walt Disney

How to cope with Disney withdraw

This week something terrible has happened to me.  My family is at Disney World and I am not. This week is a difficult week for me, as I am having extreme Disney-Withdraw. However, when experiencing Disney-Withdraw, there are some tricks to get you through it.


Step #1: Listen to Disney Soundtracks

Listening to Disney music from the parks can help you feel like you are visiting the parks yourself, and also boosts your mood, as all music does.

Step #2: Watch Disney shows on Youtube.

These videos can include Disney Fireworks shows, Parades, Attractions, Rides and more. To help cope with this, I've found watching disney firework shows before bed feel like you are ending your day on a good note, Just like in the parks.

Step #3 Recreate Disney Foods!

We all have our favorite comfort foods, However; we all have our favorite disney foods as well! Try making some of these to feel like you are eating them on a park bench next to the Castle.
