For as long as I can remember, my family and I have done Disneyland one way and one way only: stay at the park from opening to closing.

My friends always say that we're crazy because that's a full sixteen hour day at the park, not including the extra hour we take to get ready and eat breakfast. When I invited my boyfriend to come with us on our family trip to Disneyland, he nearly died of exhaustion and was running a fever by the time night fell because he wasn't used to being at the park for so long (he and his family go to the park for a bit, go back to the hotel to rest, and then return to the park later in the day).
