Disneyland!

Disneyland is the happiest place on earth. Here is why.

1. The staff are all amazingly friendly.
2. The attention to detail is incredible, leaving constant eye candy at every corner.
3. They handle crowds better than anyone. Lines are interesting, crowds are controlled. The combination of "single rider lines" and "fast pass" meant we never waited more than about 20 minutes for anything.
4. The smiles on children and adults are abundant and infectious!
5. It is CLEAN and pretty.
6. They seem to actually care about visitors. Ollie wore a "Happy Birthday Oliver" pin around the park for a few hours and must have received 10-15 well wishes from staff.
7. Mickey and his crew, I mean, come on. They are so stinkin' cute.
8. The spectacle of it all! World of Color was one of the most exciting, silly, funny, sentimental shows I'd seen in a long time, just perfectly done.
9. Music - everywhere you go! Live marching bands, jazz ensembles, music in your own seat on roller coasters, etc.
10. Great for all ages. Babies, toddlers, lovesick teens, hipster urbanites, young families and grandparents alike, all happy in one place.

One of my favorite moments- quiet morning in New Orleans Square

3 day Park Hopper passes gave us one "Magical Morning" which allowed entry to the park an hour before it opened. You can see our eyes are puffy and we were exhausted, but we did ALL of the Fantasyland rides + Matterhorn 2x in about 75 minutes. Awesome.


Ollie and Pops on Jungle Cruise!


The Greater Hoff Family


Ollie's favorite. In one week he went from saying "fee fee" to "Goofy"! Good job vocab skills.

The King of Happy himself - Sir Mickey.
