Since 1955, Disneyland has been nicknamed “the happiest place on Earth”, a nickname in which I believe is perfectly fitting. I remember the first time I ever visited Disneyland. I was a short, eager fifth grader that couldn’t keep my cool when I had heard the news about the upcoming trip. The week of Disney quickly passed and I was left with nothing but sweet memories. I could not get over my favorite part of the entire trip, exploring California Adventure. The most memorable part of California Adventure had to be the Grizzly River Run, California Screamin’, and no one could forget the magical World of Color.
