What I Learned From Disneyland

On Sunday, I went to Disneyland (also known as The Most Magical Place Ever) with my  lovely sister! Everything was full of Disney magic and wonderfulness.  But I did learn a few things between rides and delicious junk food, such as:

1. Childrehauntedmansionn under the age of about six don’t like dark rides, they’re actually deathly afraid of them. Well, beforehand at least. There was this adorable little princess( she was dressed as Sleeping Beauty! So cute.) in front of us in line and she was absolutely petrified! I didn’t realize  kids were petrified of cute tiny dark rides.

2. Splash Mountain is full of splashes of  water! Shocking, I know. But really, I didn’t actually believe I would get splashed or wet, for that matter. I don’t know why I thought that. I mean, the ride is called Splash Mountain for Heaven’s sake. It’s full of moving water  on a mountain! When we got off the ride we were both rather soaked. My poor purse…

3. Ice Cream Parlours do not give you enough napkins! Also,where are the tables? There were like three tables and lots of elbows to the ribs to get just one! Grace and I were sent out into the cold with our sundaes like sad puppies. Which is when my sundae thought it would be a fabulous idea to drip upon me. No big deal, I thought..I’ll just go get some napkins. Oh wait…they don’t have any napkins. One would think children spill ice cream all the time, why no napkins Disneyland?

4. Souvenirs are expensive. I mean they were wonderful souvenirs but I feel like Minnie Mouse ears should  never cost twenty dollars. Although, the Minnie Mouse ears were super cute and so worth it. You must have Minnie Mouse ears if you want the full Disneyland experience!

5.Mothers and Fathers enjoy dressing  up their tiny children in the most adorable costumes ever. Grace and I sat behind a family where there were two little boys; One of them was dressed as a Prince – he was very dashing in my opinion. The other little boy was dressed as Indiana Jones! They were too cute. Also, there was a  tiny girl child dressed up as Mary Poppins! By the way, Mary Poppins was definitely not a cocaine dealer to little children.So please, children of my generation, stop ruining my childhood with your drug insinuations.

6. Some children rides are vastly inappropriate for children, such as the Snow White ride. That ride was terrifying! The Evil Witch Queen ( I don’t know her name so that’s what I’m calling her) would just pop out at you! And there was lighting and wolves! Were they  trying to give tiny healthy children heart attacks? Because if so, they succeeded by giving a sixteen year old a heart attack.

7. The last tidbit of information I learned is that The Pirates of the Caribbean, Peter Pan,  Haunted Mansion, and Indiana Jones rides were by far the best and most magical ones.

It was a very educational adventure for me, might I say.
