Fantasyland

everything. Snow White waits at the Main Entrance of the Disney park to greet guests, and one can also find her in Fantasyland. Snow White takes one back to a time in childhood where kindness was exhibited by many, and every little girl was "the fairest of them all."Before their time on Broadway, Princess Jasmine and Aladdin stole the hearts of many children who had a love for Disney (much like Aladdin steals loaves of bread), and millions of hearts are still being stolen today. One can remember being introduced to magic, standing up for what one believes in, and love, with Princess Jasmine and Aladdin. This duo really opened up one's eyes to the possibilities in life. One can find Princess Jasmine and Aladdin at the Main Entrance of the park, or in Aladdin's Oasis which resides in Adventureland. Princess Jasmine and Aladdin take one back to a childhood filled with magic carpet rides and the belief that anything is possible.Alice in Wonderland was the little girl that everyone loved to love. Everyone still loves this bubbly, adventurous little girl. From the moment she fell down the rabbit hole, one was on an adventure with her. One encountered a talking rabbit, a Mad Hatter's tea party, and a Queen of Heart's evil wrath. With Alice, life seemed fun and interesting. One can find Alice practically all over the place in the Disney park. She's mainly in Fantasyland or Central Plaza, skipping around, talking to the Mad Hatter (he's there too!), or avoiding the Queen of Hearts…

From small children all the way up to adults, you can always find something that you will enjoy. The Disneyland Park is separated into different sections based on the rides housed within them. The full list includes, “Main Street, USA, Adventureland, Frontierland, Fantasyland, Tommorowland, New Orleans Square, Critter Country, and Mickey’s Toontown” (Disneyland). All of these sections of Disneyland are unique with different themes, if not rides. Critter Country is full of rides that are…

The cries of joy and sounds of machines buzzing never seem to stop. Even thought there is lots of waiting with endless long line, laughter is always in the air. As you reach the end of the street, you see a statue, made of gray, sort of metal, of Walt Disney himself holding Mickey Mouse’s hand. This statue is beautifully surrounded by a colorful blanket of flowers. The first thing you see after Main Street is Fantasyland and in order to walk into Fantasyland, the first thing you see is a castle…

leak had developed which cause Fantasyland, Adventureland and Frontierland to close for the day, Tomorrowland was unfinished and the drinking fountains were decommissioned due to a plumbers strike (The Grand Opening of Disneyland). If that doesn’t sound like the world’s most fabulous kingdom, I don’t know what does. Although day one wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be Walt had apologized to everyone and after some minor changes were made and Disneyland was actually finished. Everyone who…

By this time it was around 11:30 and I noticed there were more people in the park than there had been when we arrived. We walked around Fantasyland for a while before deciding to go to the storybook boats. While in line for this ride I decided to interview Jessica and Olivia, the two people in line in front of us. I asked Jessica why she came to Disneyland and she said that she was in California for a work trip and that she thought it was the perfect opportunity to take her kids to the park…

A stereotyped character takes a general type of person and oversimplifies their qualities into predictable or clichéd types. Diana Wynn Jones did a fabulous book called The Tough Guide to Fantasyland that exposes many of the stereotypes found in fantasy writing. Such as the magical sword, the gruff dwarf with an ax, or that all elves must sing beautifully. Stereotype characters are stock and could be interchanged from one story to another without any major impact on plot. Although both…

Throughout history, adults shelter children from the actual world, using movies as a method to accomplish this desire. Adults worry about children not experiencing a “proper childhood” and will give them content to fabricate an idealist encounter of life. When adults conceal the world from their children, most of the children will believe in the fantasyland presented to them. With children as well as adults, movies secured a way of sending people into another reality. However, pertaining to…

For me, every spring break is characterized by a short trip to either Bald Head Island, or my uncle and aunt’s house in Georgia. This spring break would be different though. A day after Easter Sunday, my parents told me, my brother, and my sister that we were going down to Georgia. We were excited for the trip, as we are all trips, but we would be a lot more excited about four hours into the six hour drive to Georgia. My parents pull the car into a rural, roadside gas station, fill up the car,…

enchanting castle, and center of the park. I find pathways that lead to additional fairy-tale lands where fantasy becomes a reality. On Liberty Square, I visited The Hall of Presidents to view a show featuring every American president, past and present, in a fascinating tribute. The next stop is not for the faint of heart and be aware of harrowing hitchhikers. I climbed aboard a doom buggy and rode through the portentous Haunted Mansion where a supernatural Ghost Host introduced me to his…
