Disneyland-Proj. 3

Disneyland
Laughter. Disney music. Cobblestone and the clip-clop of horse hooves. The smiles of the kids as they know that something wonderful and magical is about to happen. These are the first moments one experiences when first entering Walt Disney’s magical world of Adventure and Fantasy, Tomorrows and Frontiers. Meeting princess and screaming as one shoots through the stars, licking Mickey Ice Creams and singing with pirates soon follows. Disneyland is a theme park based on the imagination of Walt Disney and his animated characters. There are 7 sections in general: Fantasyland, Tomorrowland, Adventureland, Fronteirland, Mickey’s Toontown, Critter Country, and New Orlean’s Square. As a whole, I absolutely love Disneyland. I have a lot of the merchandise and I start to itch to return to the park after about two months away. However,
My favorite part of Disneyland is the atmosphere. When you walk in, happy music is playing, everyone is smiling, and every cast member is out on Mainstreet trying to hi-five you. As you walk down the cobblestone and jump over the horse and carriage track, you wave to the Disney characters and ogle at the moving windows. The friendly beep-beep of the old motor-cars drifts over the crowds who practically skip down the street, excitedly concentrating on their goal: rides. Before the crowd disperses, one and all witnesses the marveling sight of Walt Disney himself in bronze welcoming his guests and holding the hand of an abnormally sized Mouse in front of the sparkling and bright castle. First one is drawn to the shiny flashes of the metallic space ships circling some planets. Next the rustic log cabin look of Adventureland, its wooden bridge and fence leading to every type of attraction from fast rides like Indiana Jones and slow like the Jungle Cruise.  All the way to the left, at the end of the visual scan around the center of Disneyland is Frontierland in which you can see lazy, dusty, tan porches and hear gunshots and “yeehaws” in the distance.
