Another Visit to the Disneyland Resort, Especially Disneyland Park, My Favorite Amusement Park in the World

June 28, 2017

Hey everyone! This is Jonathan Yip on the phone here! This day is another day I will always remember to my heart. I went to Disneyland Park, my favorite amusement park in the whole world. Disneyland Park and the Disney characters both inspired me first and the most to work towards becoming an animator and a movie director, rather than to continue working towards becoming a math teacher or an astronomer.
We entered the park pretty early in the morning after driving on the 5 and parking at the Mickey and Friends Parking Structure. The park was filled with tons of people. I love crowds; more chances to see someone you know and/or to meet someone new.

We first went to Adventureland to ride the Jungle Cruise. It was a nice, but scary ride in terms of some of the animals you see.



After the Jungle Cruise, my family and I headed on over to Critter Country to ride The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh. I loved the animations and the soundtracks in that ride. The imagineers did a really spectacular job designing our adventure into the 100-acre wood. After the ride, I took pictures with Tigger, Eeyore, Rabbit, and my favorite character in that series, Winnie the Pooh.





After Critter Country, we headed on over to Fantasyland for lunch. I have food allergies to Cow's Milk and peanuts, and due to my special needs, I also had to refrain from eating a lot of wheat.


After lunch, I headed on over to Mickey's Toontown to get my picture with Mickey Mouse and visit his house. Toontown is my favorite land in Disneyland Park because Toontown is where cartoons come to life and has more toony attractions than any other land in the park.




Following Mickey's Toontown, I headed on over to It's a Small World. It's a Small World is one of my favorite attractions in the park because the music is very lovely and sweet.
Following It's a Small World, I met up with my family for dinner at Red Rockett's Pizza Port in Tomorrowland. I really love Tomorrowland because it envisions the future in a very curious way. While most people think about the present or the past, I am always thinking about the future and the life I would love to live. I really enjoyed my gluten free, milk-free pizza.


We went to the Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters after dinner. The Disneyland Resort changed the system for those who were carrying fastpasses and guess assistance passes. You now have to register for a ride and wait for the duration before going into the ride. Upon entering the ride, you will need to scan all of your park passes or tickets.


Following those rides, we went to watch the Disneyland Main Street Electrical Parade, followed by one of the shows that inspired me the most, the Disneyland Fireworks Spectacular. I really enjoyed the Main Street Electrical Parade because of the advanced lighting and floats. My favorite float was the float Mickey and his friends were on.


While my parents and brothers went to ride Star Tours, I stayed out near Main Street U.S.A. to watch the spectacular that touched my heart in a very passionate way, the Disneyland Fireworks Spectacular. This time, the show reminded me to admire all my artistic and creative accomplishments in the last few years, as well as being grateful for how my developmental delays and learning disabilities transformed me into the different, unique human being I am today. Many famous people have special needs, including Walt Disney, Albert Einstein, and many more. I will always follow my heart and will not let reality wake me up. I may be a young adult now, but I am always still a child in my heart.

After the fireworks show, my family and I met up again and went to ride a few more attractions, before leaving the park, making me want to cry. I wish I could stay at the park all day and plan out my future characters and movies.

Thanks for tuning in to the stage here! More stories will be coming very soon! So long and happy trails!
