Welcome to this month’s Blogorail Orange Loop. Today the kids are answering the question, which Disney Park is the best?
Kid Reviews – Why Disneyland is the Best Disney Park
When I was in high school, my father took me to my first Disney park, Disneyland. Years later, when it was time to take my kids to a Disney park, we decided to make Disneyland our first trip, too. It was a bittersweet trip, but it was also the start of many Disney vacations to follow. Because of this, Disneyland will always hold a special place in their hearts. But don’t listen to me… Let’s see what the kids have to say!
Marvel Boy thinks Disneyland is the best Disney park because it is right across from another Disney park, Disney California Adventure Park. This makes walking from park-to-park easy to do, and no busses are required.
Songbird just chimed in and said that it is easy to get to the Disneyland hotels and Downtown Disney from the Disneyland park. It is a short walk, and Marvel Boy points out that Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa even has it’s own entrance to Disney California Adventure Park. The Grand Californian is connected to the middle of Downtown Disney, making the walk to the Disneyland park short as well.
Walt Disney supervised the building of some of the Disneyland attractions, so Disneyland is where the history is at or started. The magic is special there, and it has a different vibe than Walt Disney World does. There is even a light in the window of Walt Disney’s apartment above the firehouse.
Marvel Boy points out that Disneyland has Star Tours, which is one of Marvel Boy’s favorite attractions. In fact, Marvel Boy and I were able to attend the preview event when Star Tours reopened in 2011. If I would let him, Marvel Boy would spend his whole trip riding Star Tours.
Another thing Marvel Boy adds is that Disneyland was Walt Disney’s vision a park where kids and grown ups alike could have fun together. And that is definitely what we have done as a family at Disneyland… Having fun together!

Throwing Walt’s vision in there at the end? Those are some smart kids you’re raising! 🙂 Disneyland certainly is a special place!
I was born and raised in California and my dad helped build Disneyland. I’ve never been to to any other Disney park. When I was in junior high I marched in a parade at Disneyland. Today, were I to go back, I’d probably not recognize it. Nothing you talk about sounds familiar. Only the castle looks familiar.
Well your son definitely has come good points about Grand Californian. Would not want to get into a debate with him. 🙂
I have the best memories of going to Disneyland when I was a kid but I haven’t gotten my kids at the west coast yet. Maybe it’s time for a trip!
We love Disneyland for many of the reasons your kiddos do! Great post!
