A Large Portion, Yes
Never never know, if you never never ...
I was at first cynical but my inaugural visit to Disneyland has completely won me over. I always thought Mickey Mouse was quite a pathetic character with no hero, humour or even that much affection about him, but after watching 'Fantasmic', I'm sold ... he's MY hero!
We spent two days at Disneyland, staying at nearby HoJo Hotel for the night betwixt. $47US to enter for a day (approx 8am to midnight), and all rides free, souvenirs/food of course cost but not too extravagant.
Discovered a donutty thing called a 'churro' which was a brilliant idea, basically just the crunchy part of a cinnamon donut in a long strip! Can be dunked in caramel or choc fudge id required!
Was completely sold on the 'Jungle Cruise' ride which is a little different to most as just a quiet boat ride through a 'jungle', with a guide who offers the most shameful puns known to humankind ... right up my alley.
Other rides are fun though not particularly life-threatening (yes, Big Thunder Mountain Railway was down for maintenance).
The best thing about Disneyland was the design of everything, from Main Streets old-style shops to the ride queues which are walks through themed areas (such as Indiana jones ride where its like wandering through caverns just to get to the start of the ride).
Nearby california Adventure Park was also good, but didn't have the Disney flavour so it lacked a bit in comparison.
I recommend Disneyland. If you're totally cynical about it, just do one day, but be warned, we were there two days and only saw a third of what it had to offer!
Just this weekend gone we went to Chaddy to check out the Disney Store, such is our sudden obsession, only to find that Disney Stores have TOTALLY pulled out of Australia! The horror!
I'd go back in a flash, and we're already determined that next time we visit Disneyland, we're gonna spend an entire week there.
