My New Year's Resolution

For my New Year's Resolution, I want to go to Disneyland. The last time I went to Disneyland (although it may not seem a long time ago to you, it is to me) was March 16-21, 2013. Disneyland is my favorite place in the world! The next time I go, I want to go on all of my favorite rides like Tower of Terror, Space Mountain, California Screamin', Pirates of the Caribbean, and Indiana Jones, but there is no bad ride at Disneyland, so I'm sure I will make time to ride all of them! And OF CORSE I have to meet my favorite characters like Tinker Bell, Mickey Mouse, Peter Pan, and if I'm lucky, Anna and Elsa! 

My other Resolution is I want to post some more on my blog. I'm not quite sure what to talk about so, if you would comment and tell me some ideas, I will try my best to make a post about them. Would you like me to talk more about Disneyland, some movies, Disney secrets, a certain character, Disney history, or even Walt himself?

Christmas at Disneyland

Have you ever been to Disneyland during Christmas? Well, If you haven't, I would recommend you definitely going! There are so many new things to see and it looks beautiful. They also theme their wonderful food to be Christmas themed. The parade is also changed. Santa and Mrs. Claus even show up in the parade! I think celebrating Christmas in Disneyland is the best because there is a giant tree, many colorful lights, amazing rides, and just the fact that you are in Disneyland makes it even better. I went with my family, I had a wonderful time looking at all the Christmas decorations and watching the parade.

How to maximize your stay at Disneyland

Disneyland is such a large place and at certain times of the year can be overly crowded, but if you know how to navigate your way around the parks,  your trip will become much more enjoyable. Here are some helpful steps to accomplishing this.

First, you should decide what rides you would like to go on.

Image

Second, it is helpful to know what land each ride is located in.

Third, find the ride with a fastpass option and get one. It will have a time in which it can be used in. Also, use this to plan what rides you want to do in that area. It is better to stay in one area of Disneyland and not go back and forth between different lands. 

(If this means waiting in a long line, its fine. It will be worth it and will be about equal time to go to another land and wait in a shorter line.)

Forth, know where you would like to eat and plan on either going a little early/late to beat the crowd or waiting in longer lines at normal meal times.

Remember while trying to plan your day, this is “The Happiest Place on Earth.”

Welcome

My name is Britney and I am going to be starting this blog about my favorite thing in the world, Disney. I am a freshman in high school, have a little sister who is five-years-old, two dogs, two birds, and many fish. I always make Disney references which my friends don't understand. I have been to Disneyland seven times and I never get tired of going. Every time I go to Disneyland, I always get a churro, a pulled pork sandwich, a clam chowder bread bowl, cotton candy, pineapple, corn on the cob, fried chicken, and an R2D2 chocolate parfait. My favorite rides are The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Pirates of the Caribbean, Peter Pan’s Flight, Indiana Jones Adventure, Space Mountain, Splash Mountain, Big Thunder Mountain Railroad, and California Screamin’. My favorite Disney character is Tinker Bell and I always see her when I go to Disneyland. My wish is to go to Disney World and want to go within the next couple years.
