As Disneyland is one of the best attractions around, most of us can relate to the many stages of Disney adventures. If you can't, I hope you read this and get even more excited for your first Disney experience! Enjoy waking up early for potentially the first time ever, crying tears of joy, learning to walk with a plan and successfully completing your personal missions! Enjoy the food and the incredibly fun atmosphere with your friends and take lots of pictures!
1. Early birds
You know you are excited for Disneyland when you are out of bed before 6 a.m. and you aren't even complaining. I mean, that rarely happens to anyone but if it is for a day at the happiest place on earth, there will be no problem! The early birds will for sure get the worm on this adventure; they are the first ones to the rides and only wait 20-minutes for Space Mountain instead of 2 and a half hours later in the day.
2. Tears of joy
You know you're excited for Disneyland when, as an 18-year-old, you cry after meeting your favorite Disney character! Not to mention the tears building up in many people's eyes as they enter the park-- whether it's the first time or the seventh time, it is just so magical!
3. Walk with a purpose
Disneyland is not just a stroll in the park. In order to complete all your favorite rides and attractions, you MUST walk with a purpose. There is no such thing as a leisurely stroll when there is a mission to be completed.
4. Food *insert heart eyes*
From the ice cream to the churros Disney food matches the magical experience. After a long day of walking, dole whip or a Mickey Mouse caramel apple is the perfect treat!
5. Pictures
This is not just an amusement park, but the picture perfect scene! You will most likely find a picture on your Instagram of your friends at the castle, by the Walt Disney statue or down Main Street with the pretty lights at night!
6. Disney shops
There's never a dull moment in the land of Disney memorabilia! From the Mickey Mouse ears to the sweatshirts, there is something for every child and the child in every adult.
7. Parade thrill
It's almost time for the park to close, but Disney will always go out with a bang! Plus, if you're there on the weekend you even get fireworks but, with two parade times it gives you more time on the rides with less line time!
