Some People Get It, Some Just Do Not

     I have so many friends and relatives who just don't get our love of Disneyland. They always ask me why we go every year. They can't believe that we go to the parks for ten days. Many people ask us how we refrain from getting bored riding the same attractions over and over. Well it is the magic, it is wonderful, it is fantasy, it is being a child again, it is fantasy and well that fantasy is magical.

     I tell those friends of mine who get sort of snotty about Disneyland that going to Disneyland every year is no different than them going camping every weekend. It is pretty much the same when you go camping too. But it is something you love. So I don't understand why some people want to trash on what others love...but this blog is not negative so that is all I will say about that...

     When we enter the main gate we toss our worries away. Then we walk along and go through check point, then off to the parks we go. We rarely know which park we plan to enter first, we just go where the magic takes us. There are times we plan on entering one park first and then hopping over to the other later on. But many times we "wing it" which makes it even more fun.

     We rarely plan out our meals, rides or anything. Everything we do is just done as we walk by. Oh yes once in a while we head for a Fast Pass for a specific attraction but if there is a short wait on one or not too long wait on another, we stop and ride. I mean that is what it is all about.

     The attractions in the parks are amazing. They are experiences that are magical. Even the queue is magical on most attractions. Indiana Jones has one of my favorite queues. I always hope we get to wait a little while so we can check things out. Yes your feet get tired from standing but that is just a part of it all.

     There are some days we don't get on may attractions which is fine. On those days we are just happy to be there. We find places to get a soda/water, and sit to people watch. We also take these opportunities to hunt for Hidden Mickey's or I find new photo ops.

     While we are there it is very busy but we have decided that everyone else is there for the same reason we are, they love the parks as much as we do and we just enjoy the "ride". With that attitude we generally only cross paths of others who are like minded and feel like we do.

     I have many friends who love Disney as much as we do. We talk about it, love going over and over and over again, we never tire of the experience and find new ways to make magic each time we go. We could talk about Disney all of the time and never tire of anything related to it. I love those conversations...they are also the ones who understand when I say I want to scream that I mean I want to scream on a ride...

     So soon we are off to feel the magic!!
