Why Disney?

Why is it so impossible for people to believe that I prefer Disney to Six Flags or Knotts?!? I never said I don’t like those places its just that honestly after going there a couple of times there is nothing left to do. The thing that sets Disneyland apart is the fact that the rides are the second thing you look forward to not the ONLY thing to do like at other places. And yes I know that other places have shows and extra stuff too but nothing to gloat about.

I’ve had Disney passes for the past 5yrs now and honestly its still my favorite place to go with people. I mean think about it, where else can you go to a place that spends millions of dollars to present hundreds of rides, restaurants, shows, parades and games? If you have somebody else that has a pass(which these day’s its actually a lot of people if you live near Anaheim) then you instantly have a conversation starter, bam, new friend. Obviously im talking to the older crowd that goes to Disneyland and if you think Disneyland is just for kids HA!

Originally yeah it was really just a giant playground for kids made by the biggest kid Walt Disney. Now a days with bigger rides, fancier restaurants, the fact that they serve alcohol (California Adventure) it has become a more adult friendly place to be on a Friday night, which brings me to my next point. If you find somebody you kinda been crushing over and you find out they have a pass, Disney makes for the perfect first date. For one its not going to burn a hole in your pocket…..well kinda, its only if you know how to explore the park for cheap.

You can look stuff up online on how to explore Disney for really cheap. “Disney On A Dime” is a good book to grab if you’re going  to DisneyWorld but you can apply a lot of the tips and tricks to Disneyland. And Ill talk about my tips and tricks for not only exploring Disney for cheap but how to get somebody to go with you as well (which out creeping them out)

The point is that there are hundreds of things to do at Disneyland and if you have some fun with it and try to explore the park away from the rides themselves then you can discover something new every time you go to the park. For example did you know that

Walt Disney had an apartment made for him when the park was constructed so he could look over his guests? Also did you know that at one of the Train stations the Telegraph message that you hear (meant to be a decoration and to set the atmosphere) isn’t just random sounds but the inauguration speech Disney said on Day 1 when the park opened. Also when the Matterhorn was being constructed the city of Anaheim would not let them build it as high as they wanted it without it having a purpose for being that high, so they decided to put in a basketball court (from the free-throw line to the basket I think) on the top of the mountain.

This is just the beginning of the different cool fun facts that Disney has. Lets see Knotts or Six Flags have beat them in that. Because really other than the rides….what else do they have? Lol
