My First Time at Disneyland

On my friend’s birthday, we finally went to Disneyland—and it was also my very first time visiting. I’ve always wanted to go, partly because it feels like a reward for the child in you. And honestly, finally being there made me really happy. They say Disneyland is the happiest place on Earth, and I think they’re right—even if you’re already an adult.

We arrived at around 9 a.m., and that’s when we realized something important: if you want to enjoy Disneyland fully, you really need to come as early as possible. The lines get long very quickly. Since I really enjoy riding different attractions, arriving late can make it difficult to try all—or even most—of the rides. If you come around 9 or 10, expect long queues.
