We didn’t just love Disneyland, it was our favorite part of the trip. My husband was actually hoping to be disappointed in Disneyland, and that Walt Disney World would prove to be better. I on the other hand, had really high expectations. Disneyland didn’t just meet them, it exceeded both of our expectations and we fell in love with how charming everything was. My advice to Disney lovers who have not yet been to Disneyland is to GO. There is so much magic and history, and the attention to detail is unparalleled. We definitely will be going back one day.
If you’ve been to Disneyland, what was your favorite experience?
