I love all the parks, but this one will always be the most special. I grew up going to Disneyland with my parents and my twin brother and it's always been the most special. To my brother's favorite: Star Tours, to my favorite: Indiana Jones, to my dad's favorite: Pirates of the Caribbean, to my mom's favorite: Space Mountain (? I think this is her favorite--maybe she'll see this and correct me), we love Disneyland. Of course I just realized all of our favorite rides are either in tomorrow land or adventure land, but we also love fantasy land and everything in between. From the Electrical Parade, to the "scary" Haunted Mansion, to the storybook ride--Disneyland is the place that I thought was a dream when I was younger. Of course, I still like Walt Disney World, I've just experienced it less so I know less about it. I do know that at Disneyland I feel like I'm walking into the original park. There are even apartments around the park that Walt stayed in (one of Main Street U.S.A above the fire department and one above the Pirates of the Caribbean in New Orleans Square) with his family! And there's a special train that Walt made for his wife that makes a rare appearance for special guests. Not to mention the Blue Bayou (which I still need to eat at--I've never been!) in the Pirates ride. But who knows maybe my opinion will change in 111 days when my journey as a cast member begins! I'm so excited for what the future will hold and exploring all the parks, downtown Disney, and the resorts!

Disney Challenge Day 21

An overrated movie: Cars




I love Cars, but making a third movie seems like a bit much. The second movie was just "okay," in my opinion, so why does there need to be a third one? The Cars craze is a bit out of hand because the originality of the movie isn't that great compared to movies such as Toy Story and Monsters Inc. I loved the new Cars section at Disney's California Adventure, but I'm just not a huge fan of the movies. I like them, don't get me wrong, I just don't see what the "big deal" is. Let's stop at Cars 2 and not make a movie about Planes which I heard was coming out. Like really? What's next? Motorcycles?
