Why You Should Go To Disneyland

There are numerous things and places that make people happy. Whether it be sports, music, movies and so on. Life satisfaction occurs most often when people are engaged in absorbing activities that cause them to forget themselves, lose track of time and stop worrying (Elias, 2002). What better place to do this than the happiest place on earth. “The Happiest Place on Earth” has been around for more than fifty-five years doing what it does best, making people euphoric. Disneyland is in four countries and has five locations: Anaheim, California, Orlando, Florida, Paris, France, Hong Kong, China, and Tokyo, Japan. By having those locations across the world, myriads of people are given the experience of being at the “Happiest Place on Earth.” This place is not just for kids, and anyone ranging from the age of 1 to 100 can call this park their laughing place.  Disneyland and the various locations are there to give people relaxation, solitude from the everyday world, and most of all the experiences that are not possible in any other place resulting in pure bliss.
To begin, Disneyland has numerous luxurious amenities as well as magic to provide relaxation. Downtown Disney offers marvelous restaurants, shopping to the extreme, diverse live music, and to top it off, a movie theater. Restaurants, benches, and parlors to people watch, eat, and just take a load off. 
One way to guarantee pampering is to stay on property. Hotels at the Disneyland Park have a world of their own, whether you want a day of relaxation at “Never land Pool” or want to drive remote control boats. Massage and spa options are available at the California Grand Hotel, which is also the most opulent of the three hotels.  Keeping guests happy is key for the cast members and they really do succeed. Relaxation is a key point while attending the park and you will indubitably enjoy yourself while in repose.
Furthermore, people across the world live hectic lives. The hardship of finding a place of solitude is exceptionally difficult. People need to stop stressing and be carefree every once in awhile. It is not healthy to be anxious all the time. “This can wear out the body's reserves, leave a person feeling depleted or overwhelmed, weaken the body's immune system, and cause other problems” ("Stress," 2011). The best way to relieve one self of this is to plan a trip to Disneyland. A new study conducted at Cornell University and reported in the January 2010 issue of Journal of Personality and Social Psychology found that experiences bring greater happiness and satisfaction than buying and owning possessions (Erin, 2010).
One of the five Disneyland parks is where one finds themselves in a place where they don’t have a care in the world. People who go to Disneyland find themselves feeling like a young kid all over again.  This is the place to have exceptionally phenomenal experiences with friends and family. Their imagination soars and when they walk on to Main Street, U.S.A. their hearts start beating with anticipation of what else is to come. A day at Disneyland is more relaxing than a spa to some people and more exhilarating then winning the lottery. Let me give you an example. My senior year of high school was overwhelming and finals were vastly approaching. I knew that when stress overcomes me, I do not complete tasks to my high standards. The weekend before my tests, I took a trip to Disneyland and that quick fix allowed me to finish off my senior year with straight A’s. 
Subsequently, at Disneyland all things are possible, whether it’s flying on an elephant or riding down a waterfall. Also, riding a rocket ship, flying through space, journeying through ancient mines, being enchanted by Tiki birds, and entering the world of ghosts is achievable at Disneyland. Exciting, adrenaline rushing rides end up actually causing a decrease in stress in every day life according to a study in 2003. Cortisol and epinephrine are called up during stress causing activities which later on allow for quicker reaction times in stressful activities and situations ("Adrenaline rush," 2005)
Forty-five percent of children who are part of the Make a Wish Foundation, choose to go to Disneyland so that they are able to experience all the wonders one isn’t able to do without the help of Disney ("Disney wishes," 2011). Everyday, little girls dream of becoming a princess and are able to carry out that dream while attending the wonderful world of Disney. Little boys want to be pirates and that is possible on the Pirate’s Cove on the Rivers of America. Your dreams truly do come true at the Disneyland Park.
In conclusion, Disneyland opens up a whole new world to people who will accept the magic that Disney has to offer. All one has to do is open their minds and take the magic in. No matter which Disneyland someone is at, they are always able to be open-minded and imaginative. Disney is affecting our society every day and people are taking those affects in positive ways. It truly is the happiest place on earth. Disney is always there for the person who needs relaxation, some time away from the demanding world, or a refresher on what it’s like to be young at heart.
