Travel Places

Disneyland is one of those magical places, where children watch their dreams being transformed into reality and adults are transported into a world where the child is supreme, and where no one ever seems to grow up.

The Disney resorts can be found in varied places such as Orlando, Florida, Hong Kong, Paris and Tokyo, but as the original fantasyland, there are few that can match the splendour of Disneyland in California.

The resort is divided into various theme parks and also has shopping and entertainment sections. You can choose between themes such as Fantasyland and Mickey’s Toontown, or be really adventurous and go to all of them. But do remember that even though everything can be accessed by foot, you need a few days to see all of it.

Once you are inside the resort, everything is easily available. There are great places to eat and shop, some amazing rides (be prepared to stand in line) and also fabulous entertainment shows. You can purchase a ticket which permits entry to all shows and rides or buy them individually.

There are some really great restaurants inside, but some of upscale ones require a reservation, sometimes weeks in advance.

Check out the specials that may be a part of the entertainment of the day. There may be parades during the day, or fireworks in the evening.

If you are a parent accompanying your children, be prepared to spend hours with their favourite cartoon characters. Return to your childhood and join them as they relish meeting their storybook heroes, or as they squeal on the rides. After all, this is their Fantasyland.
